last semester begins...

it's the first day of my last semester of grad school!  i am pretty excited for this...and my schedule just keeps getting better each class i visit! :)  haha  i am not exactly motivated to do all the work that will be required of me over the next 16 weeks, but i know i will just suck it up and do it.  i received the syllabi today for my two major classes...one won't be too bad, the other one is going to require a lot of writing on top of my 20 page paper that i have to write this semester.  i haven't been reading like i should...it's hard to sit down and read these papers when they are not the most exciting!  and then to put it all in a paper format and use citations, etc. makes me cringe!!!!  i am not a fan of writing...i am not good at it.  and i know when i submit it, it's going to get ripped to shreds and become his writing.  so why again do i have to write it?! lol  any suggestions on ways to compile a ton of research and then write it all down logically...i would love!

with the beginning of the spring semester, comes the beginning of my final softball season at YSU.  i am not sure how i feel about this yet.  i enjoy coaching softball...but i don't LOVE it.  i definitely don't think this is my true calling in life.  i don't think i have the tenacity to be a college coach.  that is definitely something i have learned about myself over the last year and a half.  i don't think it's the end of the world if they don't do exactly as i say...and maybe that's good...but here it's not so good.  i still expect great things from the girls, but i also realize that not a single one of them is going to make a living playing this sport.  so why act like the world ends when they don't always succeed??  school is most important...that's the reality of the issue.  they are here to get an education and become productive citizens!  i hope i've taught them something while i'm here, whether it's softball related or not, i could care less.  i hope they have learned how to be a better person in general and how to be confident and keep yourself going when it's not always easy.  I hope they have learned that more than anything else i could have taught them!

thanks to the gasoline spill in wellington, i have found a path i think i will pursue after my upcoming graduation! (i get to apply for graduation...exciting!!!)  EPA.  they offer a 2 year program for graduates to help jump start their careers in a business like the EPA.  i think i'll still study up for my personal training and strength and conditioning tests, because i'll probably know pretty quickly whether or not i get accepted into the program.  that way i'll have a plan b.  PLAN A: EPA  PLAN B: PERSONAL TRAINER/STRENGTH AND CONDITIONING COACH


sounds good to me! :)  haha  so now that i've spent time wasting time to read...i think i'll read! :)  eeek!  sleeping in til whenever tomorrow though...gonna love every minute of it! :)  have a good one guys!!
