I'm still kind of trying to process everything that has happened this week. I'm feeling happier and even though I feel a little bit like I've failed, I know that this was the best thing for me. This morning I went in for an appointment with the head academic advisor for my college. She informed me that she just received the changes to the Biology major that will be taking effect this fall. With those changes in mind, she has determined that I don't have to take any more classes. Cell Biology is going to be an elective course for the major and I have already fulfilled the elective requirements with other classes. So, I'm done! I am done with my bachelors in Biology from BYU, and I will receive my official diploma in April at graduation.
Wow.
I'm feeling so grateful and blessed right now. This week started with me wondering how on earth I was going to survive the rest of student teaching and how or when I'd be able to graduate if I quit the education program and changed my major. I was praying so hard for something to work out. Now I'm completely done with my undergraduate.
Because I don't have to take spring classes anymore, our summer plans can go back to how they were before. We're looking into our France trip for May again. We'll probably find a different apartment to rent since the owner we were going to rent from is probably annoyed at us for taking so long and then backing out on him. After our trip we'll plan on moving to the midwest, most likely lower Michigan. We're still waiting to hear from medical schools. I was going to go apply for jobs this afternoon, but now that I'd be working for less than 3 months, I won't be. I don't think I'd be able to find someone to hire me to begin with, but I also would feel rude putting them through the hiring and training process again so soon. So, I'm thinking hard about what I can be doing with my time now. I can finally get some of my sewing projects done and maybe read some books. I want to pick up my game on the home front and start making Spencer the kind of dinners he deserves. :) I will probably look into some community volunteer work, and I'm hoping to make friends with some of the stay at home moms in the ward and maybe hang out with them some days. It's like I'm just a stay at home... person now. So, so weird. I also might maybe take a trip back home to visit. We'll see what the plane ticket would cost. Phew. Life is crazy, but God has a plan for us. He's definitely been looking out for me this week!
By the way, Happy Valentine's Day. :) Spencer and I might go out for dinner or something, but we really don't have any special plans this year.
