Getting ready for the future

So I can't sleep because I am too wired on my day today, what better thing to do but blog about it right? It is the middle of December and its so close to January I can taste the snow that I am about to venture into, as much as I may not like it! This upcoming semester is going to be great! I am determined to make it so and if for some reason it starts to go astray I will make it all better. I am ready to start living my life to the fullest and making memories that will last forever. Now that I have said all of that to make myself feel better and ensure my happiness I can move on to my current life.
As work is winding down to a minimal amount / the end of my being a nanny I find myself counting down the days. For example I only have four more days of watching Wesley and as much as I love him and we did have lots of fun times I am ready to be done. And although I can't count down the exact days of working at Payless I can say that I only have two more weeks before I am done. I feel like  even though I didn't make as much money as I needed or wanted to it was a good break and it taught me a lot of things. I now know that as much fun as it is to be at home I am starting to get to the age when being at home is no longer what I want. I need to start looking forward and doing things off on my own because its the only way to grow. (Speaking of growing this is totally off topic but I am watching the Wedding Planner as I type this and Matthew McConaughey has definitely grown to become more attractive over the years. He looks like a baby in this movie haha)
Other than being ready to go back to school and starting something new I keep thinking of what I might do next year. There are so many options and opportunities out there to try when I am only 19/20 and I want to take full advantage of them. I could do the China program to teach English to students next fall, come back home and work, stay at school and just live off of student loans and work my butt off, or maybe even do the Disney Program and go down to Florida next fall. It just all seems so crazy to be this age and have all these options, I just can't make up my mind!
One thing I do know is that I am going to miss the people from home! I miss people from school all the time but I have grown closer to my friends here too. Zeinab and Maysa have become like my sisters and I don't know what I will do when I go back and I can't just drive over and talk about everything into late night. Even the people at work (Payless) have become my friends and I can talk to them about a lot of stuff.
The other thing that I am going to miss are all the choices we have around here of what we can do. Too bad the city of Rexburg can't offer the same things Seattle can because man today I got to explore Seattle like I never have before! I can honestly say that I am comfortable driving around in the city, during the day at least. Even though it was stressful and emotional to be up there and driving all over town I am glad that I did it because I am no longer scared of it haha. No better way than to be forced into it right?!
All in all life is going really good right now and even though this post is all over the board I feel like that is my life lately. When I start to finish off one thought five more pop into my head of things that I need to do, things I want to do, things I need to start getting ready and so much more! But I can honestly say that I wouldn't want it to be any other way!
