Time Flies

How did it get so late so soon? Its night before its afternoon. December is here before its June. My goodness how the time has flewn. How did it get so late so soon?
– Dr. Seuss

Sorry for not posting earlier but as you can see from my quote above tempus fugit (time flies).

This last week I had a chance to volunteer at the radio station KTLF. I have never been in a radio station before and thought it was quite interesting. I answered phones for their share-a-thon with several other volunteers. All of the people were friendly and made the time go by quickly. My friend Sis. Janie was the one who asked me to come with her because she listens to KTLF all the time. Their music is often mellow and is good if you like traditional or slower contemporary Christian music.

I also started my Spanish class last week and I believe everything is going well. I wasn’t sure if the transition would go well but so far I have done everything well. I am surprised at how much I enjoy online classes. I think it is easier for me because I love technology and dialogue. I get both of those in the online class. Instead of going to class and listening to one person drone on about things that are sometimes interesting and sometimes not, I get to read posts from other students and respond to them therefore making dialogue possible. I also get to use my computer all the time. I’m online everyday and I love it. I dropped my speech class because it simply was too much and the teacher was very unprofessional. If I follow my new plan I should make it into UCCS in the spring semester of 2009. This means that I might take 5 or 6 years to finish instead of 4 but I will have good grades and that is what matters.

I also had the chance to babysit for a family that I only babysit for occasionally. They just had a new little one and so haven’t needed me for some time. I love watching Tyler and his little sister Meaghan is just as fun. We played with his train set then painted wonderful artwork with lots of colors. We also played outside and ate dinner together. I so enjoy being with these little ones. I got another chance to work with my young friends in Sunday school. We didn’t do anything too exciting this Sunday because it was simply a review of the last 13 weeks but I still had fun because I was with the children.

Another project I have been working on is organizing the fundraising for our young people to go to a West Coast Conference in Fresno, CA. This family conference enriches and strengthens our young people and promotes unity. It is also a great place to meet other young people and see the young people from other states that you may only see once a year. I have just been put in charge of the fund raising and am very excited about getting some great fund raisers going. We have gotten started a little late this year, but I plan on doing better next year. So far everything is going pretty smoothly, although, I have a tendency to stress out about minute details.

So as you can see I have been a little busy with school work, volunteering, fund raising organization, and working with my children. I love being busy though and don’t really mind the time flying unless I am pressing a time constraint. I’ve done pretty well though.

Until we meet again……………..
