Big Dreams

I have been thinking a lot lately about what my future holds. I seem to think about it more when I am asked, "What are your plans for after you graduate." I don't think one can ever know for sure what they are going to be doing in the future, because what you plan to do often changes. Whatever it is that I end up doing after I graduate, I think it will involve music and the rest is wherever God leads me.

Today I worked in the cafe. It was my first day by myself in the kitchen. Well, I was somewhat by myself. Matt helped me out a lot because he was at the bar. He sent me to the store for some items that we needed. He told me that I needed to get a box of milk which had 12 cartons of milk. So, I grabbed the rolly cart and headed to the store which was about 4-5 blocks away. I grabbed everything and checked out and put the groceries in the rolly cart. Then I looked at the box of milk and decided to carry it because if I put it in the cart, I might not have been able to get it out. I walked all the way back to the cafe to drop off the groceries before I ran the rest of the errands. My arms felt like they were going to fall off by the time I got to the cafe. Matt opened the door for me and said, " You could have taken them out of the box to put them in the rolly cart." If I knew that he didn't care about the box, I totally would have put them in the rolly cart. Oh well, it makes up for not being able to work out. Next, I went to get some glasses for the cafe and I am so proud of myself. I understoond the sales clerk and he got me exactly what I needed. This was a great feeling of accomplishment. Maybe my Spanish has improved a little thanks to Spa 201.

After I got off work I sat at the bar and ate my lunch and talked to Matt while I waited for him to get off work. We dreamed about maybe someday owning a cafe in the United States. I think that it would be fun, but for the moment it is fun to dream about. Belen came in at 4 to take Matt's place and I got to talk with her for a while. It was great to be able to use my Spanish and she was very nice and understanding. She is learning English at the moment so it was great for both of us.

This evening I went to a bible study held by some local college students. It amazes me that people can have nothing in common except a relationship with Christ and it makes you feel like you belong. I went and was excited about my Spanish, but by the time I got there I think my Spanish was gone. I understood a little bit, but not as much as normal. I met many nice people and even though I didn't understand everything, I had a great time. I think I will go back next week because Matt is speaking.

Oh, art club was cancelled for today because Matt was sick, but instead I drew a little bit on my own. It was fun. Well, I should probably go to bed now because everyone else is asleep, but I am not exactly tired yet.
