For the first few days of Spring Break, I will be in Dallas, Tx! I'm sure everyone knows that Matt & I will be moving up there in the next six months or so (Sorry Patrick), and since I've never actually been to Dallas, spring break seems like the perfect time to road trip. I'm really excited, but extremely sad that Matt won't be joining my mom & I on our sojourn. And, although I am excited about moving to Dallas, the excitement is accompanied by feelings of nervousness.
My whole life I've been wondering what I wanted to do with it, and I still had no idea when I transferred schools last fall. I came to UTSA as an engineering major, and had done so just to appease my father and hopefully avoid another fight. I enrolled for only science and math classes and as the semester continued and I struggled to keep my head above sea of schoolwork, I was getting swallowed up by doubt. I ended up meeting with a career assessment advisor and deciding on speech-language pathology, which isn't offered at UTSA. The argument I tried to avoid ensued, but in the end a weight was lifted from my shoulders. But, as a result of finally deciding on a major, Dallas feels kind of like the beginning of the REST OF MY LIFE. Because, before I was floating along accidental-like on a breeze, and now I've actually got...a plan. That's never happened to me before, and I don't want anything to go wrong.
So now I'm going to this new city where I've got to go to school and do well and make new connections all over again, which is scary by itself cause I've never been too good at that. All I know is that I'm so, so thankful that I've got someone in my life who is willing to take this journey with me. Matthew August Farris is a dreamboat. (!!!) Expect a blog from him soon you's guys.
-be.
