changes

So sorry about the long blogging dry spell, I've had a bit of a tough time lately and have been avoiding many things in my life. BUT, good news....I'm back, with news to boot. (where did that stupid phrase "to boot" ever come from?)

I will be starting a VERY hectic schedule next Wednesday. I have recently been hired at UVU as a full time faculty Guest Lecturer for the Languages Department. I will be teaching 10 credit hours this semester and will be in charge of the language mentors of the ACIP Program. Also, I will be interpreting 17 hours/week, taking 15 credit hours and teaching at the high school 10 hours/week. Yikes! I am scared but completely up for this challenge. Sorry mom and dad, with no time for a social life I don't think I'll be getting married any time soon.

I can't believe that my teachers think that I can co this, they are the ones that suggested me for the position. I am overwhelmed at the honor. I will just have to do my best to make sure I'm saying my prayers, I don't want to let anyone down. There goes my sleep :(
