Yup. I'm in limbo. I've got good news and limbo news.
GOOD NEWS:
1. I have officially completed my Bachelor's degree! WOO HOO! I am done with my undergrad! It is so exciting! I always knew that at some point I would make it here, but now that it is here, it's so crazy. But like I said, very exciting!
2. I made it to West Valley safely and have been spending lots and lots of quality time with family. Let me tell you why this is good news. Other than spending awesome time with family, I almost died on my way up here. And no, I am not exaggerating. So if you're from the west and have been watching the news lately, you knew there was a blizzard coming. In fact, I knew it was coming. However, being the prideful, dumb, 22 year-old that I am, I thought I could beat the blizzard to Utah. What I got was the scariest night of my life. I was 5 inches from being hit by the truck bed of a spinning F150, several inches from slamming into the back of a Fed-Ex truck, and swerved along dangerous, mountainous terrain for an hour and a half. HUGE NOTE AND SHOUT-OUT: To the two women who live in Meadow, UT --- I can not thank you enough for your kindness, generousity, and willingness to help a complete stranger. For the short half hour that I knew you, you truly blessed my life (For more info on this incident, see future post.).
3. I get to see Brittany and Josh Mangelson and their BEAUTIFUL twin girls tomorrow! Yes, I am so excited!
4. I get to go HOME in a few days. That's right folks, home to Georgia. Hello Southern Hospitality! :D
LIMBO NEWS:
1. I've applied to 7 different school districts in 5 different states. Have I heard back from anyone? No. Not really. So do I have any prospects for a job? No. Not really.
2. Other than the fact that I can't WAIT to see Georgia and my family, I'm going home because I'm literally in Limbo. I'm in that weird state of trying to move on with life, but life is holding me back. I want more than anything to move forward, but no options are being opened to me. Knowing God, there's a reason for this. I just need to be patient (PS- I did not mean for that to be a blasphemous statement...).
3. I do have several options on the table, but like I said, none are OPEN to me. They are the following:
a. Find a job somewhere. ANYWHERE.
b. Get my Masters degree in one of the following:
i. Elementary Ed.
ii. Teacher Ed.
iii. Educational Psychology (school counselor)
iv. English
c. Get a second Bachelor's degree in one of the following:
i. Elementary Ed.
ii. Teacher Ed.
d. Go on a mission.
i. Yes, I said it. Go on a mission. And no, this would not be a cop-out for not finding anything else to do in life. I would never go unless I knew with 100% surety, that it is what I was supposed to do.
There you have it. The Limbo Life. It's really not that horrible, just weird. The feeling of knowing and wanting to move forward and press on, but not knowing in which direction to take the first step.
Trust me! I'll let you know where I'm headed when I know. ;)
