Time Flys, Even When You're Not Having Fun

Ok, ok. I admit, contrary to my title, I am mostly having fun at Syracuse, studying my butt off at Newhouse. Please note the date of the last post, till now. It's (as I always say) been far too long between posts. What's a girl to do?! I am still working and working and working and doing a lot of homework. The truth is...I'm almost done and I have the worst "senioritis" ever,  though it's not exactly senioritis, since that's what I had last year right before I graduated from IUP.

The truth is...let's roll with that. The truth is I'm tired of life here. I have loved learning about PR in a way that IUP never let me. I have loved meeting new people, having new experiences, trying new things and living completely on my own. But, I'm ready to go. I am ready to do OTHER new things. I am ready to experience married life. I am ready to work a real job, to start my career. I am ready to go.

The truth is...I spend too much time thinking about what I should be doing instead of doing it. I have piles of homework that I think on...how will I find enough sources for my ethics paper? How will I learn about employee communication within an organization when this is something most organizations keep kind of hidden? How will I make the time to get my work done at all? Well...I could get off my blog for one. But, I could use my time better. There are only a few more weeks here, and, since I'm mostly too busy working at Wegmans on the weekends to go out with friends, when I actually get invited, I should use the time when I get home from work to put an hour or two into my final projects.

The truth is...I can do this. I will be done in about three weeks and then it's comprehensive final time. I'm pretty much scared to death of my comprehensive final as I feel like we didn't get quite as much education as past Newhouse PR grad students because of sick teachers and bad clients, etc. What if I didn't learn enough? What if I don't really know very much about PR at all? What if I pass, but have to do some re-writes? Or worse...what if I fail and have to re-write the whole thing? But that's not going to happen...I remind myself of the truth -- the truth is I can and will succeed.

Because the Truth is Jesus,  and He is my Savior, Helper and Friend and I know that through Him, all things are possible. I know that when I get my exam and I sit down to write the most detailed answer possible to each question, and when I'm on page 107 and feel like I don't have another word in me, He will give me the strength to continue and He will help me remember the things I learned and He will help me suck it up and finish. He's the only one I'm even allowed to talk to about the whole project, so good thing He is the Truth and He is the One who knows it all.

And finally...the truth is I CANNOT WAIT TO GET MARRIED. I don't want to say goodbye to Bill one more time. I want to be together forever and for always and know that every night when I get home I get to spend the evening with him. Weekends with him. Good times and bad times with him. It's going to be a great future and I'm ready go get on with it. I'm also excited for our honeymoon in Disney and excited that I just purchased our wedding invitations today from David's Bridal Inviations and they are fabulous and I can't wait to see them and hold them in my hands and wonder what people will think when they open these lovely invitations!

Now...I will stop thinking about what I should be doing and go do it...Ethics paper, here I come!!
