Sometimes you gotta dance

So this is going to be a happy entry. This quarter has been really stressful and I feel like it is a real balancing act. That being said I have also been blessed this quarter with many things. Financially it was always going to be a tough quarter what with the amount of credits I'm taking so I was always worried about that. Also, I am presenting at a conference and that doesn't get paid for by anyone but me so that was another added stress. Looks good on a resume just expensive. Plus the wedding and so many other bills. So onto the good news.

Let me recall all the ways in a list as it is much more efficient. Here are the "good things" from the past month!

1. Highly paid Internship relieving financial worries for next year and got it way early relieving stress and am able to plan out my next year of life.

2. I did my tax return and found out I'm getting some money back but it never came and never came then i checked in on it and found out I'm getting almost double of what I thought, due to an error on my part!

3. There was some stress with my wedding dress. I found that they just started selling a beaded bolero jacket that goes with my dress only to find out that you had to buy the dress with it. But it was never offered when I bought it since it is a brand new item! I went to one store and they told me I couldn't get it separately at all and then I went to another store and they said since I just bought my dress I could just exchange my dress for the exact same one and pay the little bit of difference! So it all worked itself out or will be worked out in the next week!

4. Red Hot Chili Peppers was playing on the radio when I started my car up tonight after a very long class! Then I switched stations after that song was done and the other station was playing Red Hot Chili Peppers. Lovely.

5. I worked very hard on an assignment and it paid off receiving the highest grade in the class!

6. I found out today that a scholarship I applied to way back in December was accepted and I received it to help out with costs at the conference. I thank my professor for urging me to apply even though it was Christmas and we were going back and forth while he was in California. It was a lot of work! I thought that I didn't get it seemed how I hadn't heard anything. But today I heard and I got it! And it turns out is is a major award with a presentation and whole day devoted to it including a luncheon! Who knew!?

7. The Olympics!

I am kind of proud of myself and had to stop and think today over the stress of the quarter. It really could have been a much worse quarter. I've worked hard these past two years and it is finally paying off! Literally! haha I am thankful to the Lord for giving me things at the exact moment I needed them!
