Day 6: I am good at...

Watercolor Paper, Acrylic paint, Charcoal

This is the hardest post that I have written so far.  I really don't think that I am especially good at any one thing, but this week being the last week of my English classes I have been thinking about why I became an English major in the first place.  Yes, I did change my major from business because I am horrible at math, but I also changed it because I thought it was weird to teach people how to manage.  I feel like it is a skill that you either know or you don't. 

Anyways...

I decided on English because I liked to read, and I didn't feel like I was able to articulate the things that I wanted to say...and perhaps choosing English as a major would help me.  I'm not saying that it hasn't helped me in that aspect, but I think that it helped me realize one of my other gifts...the gift of listening.  I realized that sometimes people just need someone to listen...not talk and talk and talk..but just to sit and listen and be understanding.  The thing is...I like to listen.  I used to wish that I was a more conversational person but I think this gift that God has given me is perfect, for me.  So if you need someone to listen...I'm really good at it.

Feeling Crafty...

I have been feeling especially crafty lately.  I have a few projects that I am DIYing to do.  The first one is an Art Journal.  I suppose that I am started off a little late in the year, but I don't really mind.  I am excited to start drawing more, and taking more pictures.  I can't wait to start it.  Also, from the same blog, there is a tutorial for Alphabet letters.  I really want to make these for my journal, and/ or for decorative purposes (like on gifts, for example).  Did I mention that I am really excited to start? 

May I also share with you the most awful news of my week...quarter...college career?  I just found out this week (well, I suppose I always knew but didn't really put it together) that this is my last quarter for English classes.  I am so sad, I almost don't know what to do with myself.  I thought that I would be able to fit in an English class next quarter just for fun, but I don't think it will be possible.  But, on the bright side...I'm almost done with college!  I only have 3 more classes...I can't believe it.  I really honestly thought this day would never come. Soon, I get to nab a big kid job and move on to grown up things (scary, yet exciting).  I might relapse from "English deprivation", and go back to school for my masters.  It all depends on whether I can find a job that I like.  We'll just have to see what the next year holds in store for me.
