Random stuff I'm catching up on

For 16 weeks, all my energy was focused on getting through the Spring Semester at school. For the last six weeks, any remaining energy I had was focused on getting through the Zumbathon. Now that it's all over, I hardly know what to do!

School is over, grades are tallied up, and while I'm not completely happy with the outcome, I can live with it. I received two B's and a C. That C is killing me, because I know I'm a better student than that. While it was a very high C (78.45%), it's still a C. It doesn't reflect my level of hard work, or my level of intelligence. There's nothing I can do about it now, though.  Thankfully, it didn't hurt my GPA, which is still a 3.83. More on the woes of school later.

The Zumbathon was an amazing experience. Only one minor blip with the sound system, and everything else ran as smooth as I could hope for. All the instructors brought amazing energy. The routines and music were all so fun! Our attendance was around 40 or so, and I consider that a success. We had almost no expenses, thanks to the efforts of many people who worked together. Door prizes were donated, along with the use of a stage. There was even a company in town who matched the money we raised, and the total was somewhere around $1000 altogether. Mr. Nutter attended along with his family and stayed through the entire event. He looked really great for someone receiving treatments for stage 4 lung cancer. He took the microphone a few times and said some encouraging and thankful words to us all. He spoke of the prayer circle and invited us all to join. He spoke of the generosity of the town, and the gratitude he and his family feel. I was so blessed to have been a part of something so meaningful.

So now that it's all over, it's back to Normal Life. Like there IS SUCH A THING, haha.I feel a bit restless and random today, just in the wake of all the excitement. With no homework to do, and nothing else to worry about right now, I don't quite know what to do with myself! But it's a good feeling, knowing that I can just "be" for a while, without being busy.

The kids have school for about another week and a half. Not long at all. In that time, I hope to do some serious decluttering and cleaning around the house, and maybe even paint the kids' bedrooms in an attempt to lure them into the habit of keeping their rooms clean. However, that may be a futile endeavor. 

House Hunting has been put on hold for a bit, so no updates for you on that front. I still want the house we looked at in Claremore, and I hope that soon the time will be right, and all the pieces will fall into place. I'm being patient, and I'm praying. 

It's a little bit odd to look forward into this week and realize that there is nothing pressing. Just everyday stuff. Hope you all have a great week!
