I cannot believe how fast October is going. Birthday is in about a week, home in about 3 weeks, and then Christmas. It's just unreal how fast time flies. Right now, I'm on my weekend off and holy tired. I have been sleeping like a log. I guess I just don't realize how tired I am until I can actually let myself take some down time. Otherwise Im on pure adrenaline and caffeine. A lot of work to be done in so little time. But that's just it- I am human, I'm doing my best and that's all anyone can really ever ask. When I have a minute to myself, I go on pinterest (for those who don't know what that is, Im sorry...you're missing out) and I have been pinning quotes. I email them to Avriel throughout the day just to see her reaction as our offices are right across from each other. Last week, I found this quote:
It pretty much sums everything up in a nutshell. I mean, who doesn't love a hot cup of fresh coffee with a little cinnamon and milk in it? It makes the morning THAT much better. Kristen, Avriel, & I also love Hazelnut coffee. Can't find it here, but when someone comes down from the States, they are usually asked to bring some. The aroma is just unreal.
We have a big gala coming up in about a week. Actually, it's the night of my birthday and I do think it will be a cool way to spend it! I am really happy with how everything with my job is going. Constantly busy, I always have something to do, and it's just nice, yet different to have that sense of freedom. Some days do get stressful, but then actually feeling like your work is paying off is totally worth it. Another quote:
All I have to say about this: fact.
But then there are those mornings when you just sit back and think how surreal this life is. I don't think I can stress that enough. I am really happy, happy with my job, my friends, and with my role as a volunteer. Last week, Esteban was cleaning the kitchen. I had come in late for lunch and while he was cleaning and said, "You are crazy". He looks up and in his raspy old man smokers voice he looks and me and says, "You're more crazy". I just about hit the floor laughing. He is just ridiculous. The English he picks up always keeps me on my toes. Then I find quotes like these:
(Finding Nemo)
And realize how much I love working with kids. I mean, seriously- they can always put a smile on my face and they are just so young, full of energy, and see the world in a completely different way. I was walking with a big time donor last week and I see Esteban in the park hanging with some friends- all of a sudden he lifts up his hand and starts twirling it around his ear pointing to me, mouthing: YOU ARE CRAZY. I had to keep it together, but almost lost it laughing.
This makes me wonder my path after this. I don't know where this is taking me, but I have seriously thought about getting my Master's in Education- specifically Special Education. I've been talking with a close friend, Kelsi, about it a lot and it's something that really interests me. I started off as an Ed major but then switched to International Business. Both something I have a passion for, but education is something I want to try too. Maybe I can somehow intertwine the both of them? I don't know. And I shouldn't have to know, but I believe I will know in the future. Every choice I make in the present, will impact me for the future and by that point, every choice I had made in the past, will be who I am in the present and build me for the future. Does that make sense? Maybe in just my brain.
That's it for this week. Enjoy! xx
