Today in class one of my teachers had me write a five year plan. Where will I be in five years?
Basically I put: BC for two years, mission, live in Utah.
I honestly think my time in Alaska is done. :( At least for now. I don't think I'll be returning soon, and when I do it will most likely just be to visit family.
This afternoon was spent looking at colleges. I know I'll be at BC for a year. But do I want to go on after that and get an associate's? Or do I want to transfer to another college?
At this point, I don't know. Life is crazy, but the ride's pretty fun right now. Also, I'm starting to look for employment. I'm pretty confident that my plan of staying here just for a year is going to fail.
I would absolutely LOVE to not spend the summer of 2012 in Utah, but we'll see what happens.
This is about where I was last year. But I'm already in school. The hard part is done. I really feel like the reason I'm at LDSBC right now is to socialize. I don't socialize very often, I need a push. I think going here and feeling that unity with others, because we are a small college is a step in the right direction. I will date while I'm here. Whether or not I find my man now or later does not matter so much to me anymore.
I'd really love to settle down and become a mom. I've lived on my own and had an adventure; I'm ready to settle down and start a new adventure, if that's what the Lord thinks is best for me now (obviously not right now, but in the next year).
I'd really love to go on a mission. I'm definitely doing one year at BC. Then I could work and save for a mission.
Either of the M's is fine with me. We'll see how things go! :D
This post is because of my room mate. She's been kind of seeing a guy for the past two weeks. They're not 'official' or anything, but they really like each other. The other day, apparently, he even mentioned that he's been thinking about when he should get married. (He just got back from his mission a few months ago.) So my room mate has that on her mind.
And apparently now I do to. Writing out your five year plan does that to you.
But only the Lord can tell what will happen next. I have to wait to live my life. I can't predict it, so I'm not going to try.
But I can hope and pray! :D
My 5 year plan from 2003 (I was your age.)

Work at your NOT dream job.
Live in Alaska.
Kiss zero boys (still)
No mission.
No Handsome boy, a few broken hearts.
No babies of my own, but get to work with kids at schools and have them change my life.
Go back to school. Kick BUTT.
Make wonderful friends
Serve in the church
Get closer to my family
Be HAPPY with who I am today.
In short. Make your list, but let the Lord steer your car, cause he's going to take you on a ride you could never imagine and the destination is probably better than the one you've made for yourself. :)
You're doing great! Keep going!
:D I love seeing you post, Krystal. I always know that you'll post something that'll help me.
