life’s not a paragraph

i know it’s a little early to be talking about spring break but the reason i’m bringing it up is because i am going to be a leader this year! 🙂 and the planning has already started!

last year i was just a participant. i went to meridian, mississippi and had one of the most amazing experiences of my life (see my post from march named inspiration). it was so rewarding. when it came time for 2011 leader applications, i was a little hesitant to sign up. classes and homework take up a lot of my time… actually, most of my time. but i decided that alternative spring break (asb) would be a valuable way to use the free time i do have!

so far (and we’re only two weeks in) asb is going to be bigger and better than it was last year. not only am i pumped about the leaders we have this year, we are planning more trips! last year there were four; this year they decided to do six! i guess they had more applications last year than they have ever had before, so they decided to make the asb program bigger to supply for the demand. good ol’ economics at its best.

i am so excited to be in a leadership role, but it’s a bit more demanding than i anticipated. my workload this year is turning out to be quite substantial, and asb on top of it all got a little overwhelming for me this past week. i am still getting used to all my classes, my professors, and all the new programs i am learning. last wednesday i felt like i was running around like a chicken with my head cut off. haha but as i get more into the school year, i know everything is going to get easier. as i get more comfortable with the photoshop and illustrator, the homework won’t take as long and i’ll have even more time to become a great asb leader!
