Time Moves on

Time moves so fast if you aren't careful. Last semester felt like it dragged on. This semester, I feel like has just flown by, mostly because I have been really busy. I've enjoyed this semester more than last semester to be sure, but I am also kind of glad to see it end. As time moves so fast, I see changes happening. Some I fear, and some I am excited about. Today I texted the coach I am working with at Driscoll Middle School to tell her I can only volunteer tomorrow because I have homework to do today. She answered me and said tomorrow would have to be my last day because of school policy and TAKS coming up. I am purely volunteering at this point because I am done with my hours but I wasn't ready to be done now. I've really enjoyed helping there and getting to know the kids. It has turned out a little different than I expected but I thoroughly enjoy going. I'm grateful they gave me this opportunity in the first place. Another thing I see coming to an end is that window of opportunity for going to Texas Tech. Apparently since I'm white, straight, eat meat, am middle class, and one of my parents didn't die in some work accident I can't get most scholarships out there. I am still applying for some, but the window to go is closing I can't jump through it without a miracle. So I may be here at San Antonio College next year, which isn't terrible. I like the school. People rag on it but it is a good school. I've learned a lot from my classes. I already signed up for summer school there. I like the school, I like this town, I like my family, I like my friends....it's more a matter of just feeling like I need to get out on my own. Oh well, that will have to wait. Maybe when I'm closer to 30 I can move out....

Something awesome I got to do last night was go to the Rock and Worship Roadshow put on by Mercy Me including David Crowder:) Family Force 5, Francesca Battistelli, Fee, Remedy Drive, and Sidewalk Prophets. It was a blast and I got to go with some of the kids from our youth group. It was an awesome night of worship for 3 solid hours. Let me just say that David Crowder probably leads worship the best of anyone I've ever seen. It helps that I like his music, but both times I've seen him, he has been incredible. He is talented and hilarious, but most of all he senses God's presence in the room. Mercy Me was better than I thought. I enjoyed them along with Fee. I hadn't heard much of their stuff but I loved it. Sidewalk prophets were ok. Francesca Battistelli reminds me of Milecy Cyrus...I'm sorry to anyone who likes her but she sounds like her, she kind of looks like her, she has similar gestures, and I didn't care for her:) She has a few good songs though. Remedy Drive annoyed me. I didn't care for the music and the lead singer is insane. Family force 5 is a band I enjoy listening to very much but the show was interesting. They played some songs I didn't know and they were crazy wild it seemed. I don't get their purpose I guess. I think they are talented and I enjoy the songs I know, but even then, they are a little out there. All in all, the concert was amazing and benefits Compassion international and that is awesome. I was so glad to get to go. It was definitely a rejuvenation. I also enjoyed seeing my friend A dancing with my friend T down below when David Crowder did his version of I'll Fly Away:) The best part of the entire night was singing Amazing Grace acapella with the crowd. God shows up and it's big:)
