Barakel, forming a plan to quit, and still finding time to keep sane without lighting Hugo (guitar, yes I named it :) on fire; it has been a crazy week.The date of resignation is july 31st, which happens to place on a tuesday between paychecks, which in a weird way is perfect :) I'm sure I will regret leaving EBB early, but sometimes you just gotta take the plunge, and I'm a pretty good swimmer so minimal drowning will occur. Two days to recooperate and then a full day of travel to colorado for orientation, and back in the "D" 5 minutes after midnight; so looking forward to that day, not, but Starbucks will be my friend.
August will be reformation/transformation month. Mom & dad have agreed to take on a Mediterranean diet, which I'm terribly looking forward to so much. All the time off will allow for more focus on packing, paperwork, and just improving overall health before I jump into a term of being surrounded by carbs and sugar for six hours in the morning. It will also come with wearing pants/shorts as little as possible. Part of my transformation is dressing more feminine and simple. With that will also come getting rid of clothes I no longer have/will wear, and recycling what I do have and making new stuff- like more skirts :)
On that note, there is a modesty challenge out there by the people of Feelin' Feminine. For a week, based off certain guidelines, a girl wears only skirts and dresses. I've known about it for a while now, but have never really had the time to do it. I'm really looking forward to taking part in this. It also requires a daily blog posting so that will be up as well.
I also hope to take this time and do a more regular devotion, or at least read the Bible. If I'm gonna transform who I am why not improve my spiritual life as well :)
The next year will be full of risks, nothing too bad though. Risks that will shape me for better or for worse, but in the end I hope to learn from them and become a better person all around.
We're only given one life, and it's short, so why not live it doing what you love, even better if it's for His cause :)
