New Semester

Tomorrow marks a new semester. New challenges, new struggles, new blessings a new joys. I'm sure I'll hit every emotion this semester and I'm sure I'll be on a rollercoaster from everything going on. But am I really prepared for the things this semester will bring? Have I planned well enough on managing my time? Will I be able to keep up with everything and do better than last year?
With a new semester comes a new fear. A fear I won't be able to keep up. A fear that my grades will not be as good as I want them. A fear that I will forget the important things. The list of fears go on and on and on.
Everyday I start off with a cup of Folgers and a great playlist that consist of four songs: Track 5-5 (which i completely lost thought of the name), Tear Down the Walls, You Hold Me Now, and Everything. The combination of the two has become rather helpful starting the day. The aroma of Folgers and the presence of the Lord are two main ingredients of a good day. I sometimes wonder what my days would be like if I didn't have the two. I'm the kind of person that I'd prefer to have my coffee before anyone talks to me...with two suitemates, that doesn't always happen, actually, it hardly ever happens! One thing though is my classes start after chapel therefore everyone in the suite is gone before I even wake up, that tends to limit the amount of talking before my consumption of coffee. =) But I'm not sure this is the person i want to be. I don't want to seem like an angry person in the morning or a rude person when I don't want to answer back when someone talks to me. I don't do it to be mean, I'm just not awake. There's got to be plenty of people like that!! Right?? Anyways, Listening to these four songs, each with their own special meaning to me, help me get in Kayla mode. Thank goodness for each of these!
Along with the SPRING semester, comes wondering for every girl. Have you ever heard of "Ring by Spring"? Well that goes into full play every semester. Now I'm not looking for a ring this semester but even though, the thoughts and wonders still fly through my mind. What if this could be the Spring? I'm pretty sure it won't be due to the fact I am still single and I'm not sure if my crush likes me or not which could inevitably be a problem. Anyways although I'm not looking for a ring, the pressure to fall in love is coming from all angles. I wish it was as easy as in the movies. Spot each other from afar and instantly fall in love or the classic I live here now and you live there in another time and we write letters to each other and fall in love! But it doesn't happen like that. It seems much harder but then again, it can't be that hard because you see it happening everyday and these days, there's wedding after wedding constantly year round! So is it really not that hard or is it just a matter of time...some longer than others?
So with everything that will come about this semester, I'm must get back to mentally preparing for it and I'm sure my typing is bothering my sleeping roommate that of which I am sooooooo happy to be back living with!!! Christmas break was too long!

I'm off for another day in the Lord's presence!

Have a wonderful semester everyone!
