Freedom...with a schedule

I am done with spring semester! It is such a satisfying feeling; a great load has been taken off of my back as a student and I feel a sense of freedom as I yearn for summer.

But, why I do I yearn for summer?? It's not like it's gonna be a relaxing one:

I take that back, 1 out of my 3 month summer will be somewhat relaxing. In May, I will be working at ChickfilA about 4 days a week...I would take getting paid over going to school any day! Also, I will be getting some practicum hours in twice a week at a local physical therapy center.

Then, the month of June - I am excited/scared about all I have to accomplish in the months of June and July. I will be taking 12 credits this summer (yes, that is a full semester load) and working full time. Along with studying for a personal trainer board exam and fulfilling more of my practicum hours. Yay for busy schedules.

My mom said that I packed too many things into my summer. That's what scares me; when my mom says I have too much to do, I REALLY have too much to do. But, I am determined to do it all; and all with excellence.

I am really looking forward to my summer job though! I get to spend my day with 60 of my favorite kiddos. Oh, there are times when I ask myself why I am a camp counselor - when the same girl (who is going into the THIRD grade) has an accident atleast 3 times a day, even in the pool; when I have a boy screaming, biting, scratching, and hiding under tables because he doesn't want to share ANYTHING (yes, he is an only child); when I have to deal with an 8th grader who thinks she's "in love" with a 3rd grader, that's just a whole different story; when we have to start getting ready an hour before we leave on a field trip because we have to bathe every child in sunscreen AND bug spray (and of course every mom sends their own spray and lotion for their own child and requests to not share with anyone else); and those infamous days where everyone is on their worst behavior, definitely my favorite. For some reason though, I wouldn't trade that job for any other.

So, yes, I am going to have a crazy busy summer. But for some reason, I feel as if it will be relaxing. Let's hope so!
