summer, school and new beginnings

this has been the best summer i have had in a long time. i got to do so many fun things. i went to long island for 2 1/2 weeks, i got to see 3 of my college roommates, i went to jeremy and ali's wedding, i went to a wonderful nccat seminar where i went white water rafting and broke a board with my hand, and i have enjoyed many lazy afternoons by my pool. i certainly didn't work very hard this summer and therefore i didn't make much money-but it was sooooo worth it. i've also learned a lot about myself this summer and have overcome some things that have held me back in the past. now i am only one week away from my summer's end---ah! next tuesday i go back to school. while this can be a very exciting time for you moms, it is an anxiety filled time for me. what kinds of kids will be in my class this year? will the parents like me? will i get everything done before school starts? what will our schedule look like? how will i get through the dreaded first few months? well, i am taking a new approach this year. instead of being stressed and super-stressed i have decided to go into a "Halsey-God Partnership". yup, I am partnering up with God to get me through this new school year. i'm gonna listen to Him and let him control all that takes place. this is not going to be easy ( since I am a control freak ) but i know that it is what i need to do. so, i'm gonna enjoy the next 7 days and not go crazy! i am going to enjoy every last minute of my summer. then next tuesday my partnership will begin. in the mean time my partner will be handling all stress and anxiety regarding school. so, be in touch with him if you need anything!!!
