Semeste almost done...must...finish...

One more paper then finals, and the semester is over! wow...this was a quick one. I don't think I ever really got into the swing of things. Or right about the time I was settling down, I'm picking up and moving along. Isn't that life, though? We get too busy settling down to settle down at first that we almost miss the whole experience. By the time it's the end, well, as always, we wish we had more time.
But this time, I'm okay with it being the end, I guess.
More later...time for band.

To dream or not...

So the other day I updated Nathan's blog instead of my own, just 'cause, even though I've really been needing to update mine. Last night I went to the Bethany Dillon, the afters and Jeremy Camp concert at the Civic Center here in good 'ol Abilene. It was fabulous. I sat on the third rown on top of what is usually the orchestra pit, which also happens to be a hydraulic lift above a hollow vast of pit-ness. Needless to say, whenever the super-large boys in front of me along with the other 100 people on the pit started jumping up and down, the ground beneath me shook with all of its might.

But beyond the great music, something else stirred inside of me. Spawned from reading a newspaper article about Celia Davis, vice president of communication and government relation at Hendrick Medical Center. You see, Celia is retiring in January to pursue her dreams of starting her own consulting business. She's doing this instead of running for the Texas Legislature seat recently vacated by Bob Hunter, as was speculated. In the article from the Nov. 4, 2005 Abilene Reporter-News she said, "You realize life is short, and if you want to do something, you should pursue it."

Coming to the end of college and looking at the "real world" and for a real job, I'm wondering: am I discounting my dreams? Am I throwing them away for a cubicle (or maybe an office), a computer and an eight to five routine? I want to pursue...but how? And how do you learn the balance of pursuing a dream and still holding onto reality? Where do I go from here?

Graduation is in 184 days...

Be blessed today,Jezz
