Applied for an Internship!

I feel like I finally accomplished something on my way to going abroad, like I am finally moving forward.  Getting this teaching internship would be a huge blessing, it would really help me with my future career goals.  I would have some teaching experience under my best and I could come to an informed decision on whether or not the path I'm heading down is the one I'm supposed to be pursuing. 

Truthfully, all the barriers and rejections I have faced on my pursuit to go abroad had left me severely dissapointed and questioning "why me", but I have learned that no matter how hard you want something, no matter how hard you dream and wish for something, you're not going to accomplish it unless it's in Gods plan for you.  I'ts hard to accept and even now I'm struggling with it, unsure if I'll recieve this internship, unsure if I be too old to study abroad in the rest of my gap year.  But, although I can't help my feelings, I can continue to try and put my faith in God and accept that God's way is the best way and that at the same time wanting what I want is okay, I'm human.  I continue to hope that I'll accomplish my dreams when I want to and how I want to, but life hasn't turned out so bad.  New people have been brought into my life, I'm going to Japan and Taiwan this summer, I received a much needed scholarship, I've sent in my application for my internship.  I do my best and that's all I can do, the rest I just have to leave in his hands.

Been awhile

My goodness, its been a long time.  Life is so hectic and I'm getting anxious.  Instead of going to college I am pursuing a gap year, and I don't have any solid arrangements.  Pray for me!

I Just Can't Sleep

I up at 3:51 am because I just can't keep my eyes closed!  I've been doing some homework and some sketches(and surfing the web, going through Yesstyle...) but I'm still wide awake and wanting for something.  I've been so restless lately, there are so many things I can do, but I'm not satisfied with anything. ~sigh~ I guess I just need to remind myself that school is priority! That first! ;p
On a different note, Christmas is coming soon, my favorite holiday, and I'm excited for Christmas break.  I hope to refine my designs and complete some sewing.  I'm trying to save those things for the break, but I'm completely tempted into starting them now. While on the subject of clothing, my first ModCloth order was a complete bust, which was very disappointing, and I ended up returning the dress. I'll put up a review on that and also on a recent Yesstyle order. Just need to get the pictures off the camera....
One more thing!  I've started my application to study abroad! Very excited about that!  Well, it's past 4:00 so I'll try to sleep again I guess.  Good morning all!

First Order from Modcloth!

I placed my first order from modcloth yesterday!  I've been lusting over the Deep Within the Armoire Dress by Valerie Tolosa since I can't remember when, and now its on its way!  The ordering process was very uncomplicated and didn't take long at all to complete.  I was able to get a good idea on what size I should select by the size chart and the reviews posted on the dresses page.  The shipping is supposed to take 3 to 6 business days, and returns are free so I'm very excited about it!  Here's a picture of the dress and a link to modcloth's website:

Hello!

Well, if your reading this, I feel special! With all the other blogs out their in the vast world that is the internet, for you to come across my blog seems so unlikely!  I've created this blog so that I can write down some of the billions of thoughts that cross my mind.  In this blog you will hear a lot about fashion, horseback riding, tennis, and traveling I suppose, as those are my main interests besides sleeping.  I guess we'll just see what happens!
