Estoy muy bien. . . y tu?

Okay, well I am in a great mood right now and I need to go to bed!

Tonight I just finished a book called Fish, which I took from my practicum yesterday. My field instructor was not there yesterday and she has this book that looks very intriguing to me, so I took it and read it. She probably didn't even miss it, I'll just put it back tomorrow. Its all about how to make work fun and more enjoyable. There are four key ingredients: (1) Choose your Attitude, (2) Play, (3) Make Their Day - customers, clients, co workers, etc., and (4) Be Present. I read this book and was like that is so awesome, it wasn't just a boring book either about these are the concepts and we think you should do them. It was an actual story about a lady who was a department manager in her company and totally changed the department around. As I read this book, I am thinking has my field instructor read this book before because she could use this advice!

Monday night I went to a campus ministry and I really like it there! They started a two-parter on the Holy Spirit, and how awesome and exciting the Holy Spirit is when its in your life. I feel excited about going to a campus ministry for the first time in a long time, and am probably going to check out a small group. I don't know, I really need food spiritually and the excitement and being with other excited believers!

What else is new? I have decided that I am going to move South after graduation, South in like I mean Florida, Texas, California, Arizona, New Mexico but somewhere closer to the border. An area with a high number of Latinos because I really want to work with immigrants and use my Spanish speaking abilities. I am looking at cities right now such as San Antonio, Miami, Pheonix. And hello! Another benefit is of course the climate because I really don't like cold weather or winter I like the warm sun! This is a really exciting revelation to me lately and my parents seem to support this. I am almost done with my resume too so thats good and exciting to have down and done with!

I did have to call my mom again today after a conversation we had last night. She was in San Diego the past three or four days for meetings, conference but I am guessing she had a good time though. Anyway, she told me, "(my name) you can't change the world." Oh, okay one of my things is right now is please never say that to me. How do you know I am not going to change the world or at least change some part of the world? How has the world ever been changed if in the past the people that have changed the world had their family and friends always saying, "you can't change the world, you'll never do it!" Not that I am crushed by this or her statement, but just don't tell me that because first off you don't know if I am or not!

That is going to be it for now!
