I love my job.

I love getting to wander around and take photos and say "I'm with the plainsman" and get in free everywhere. I love the thrill of opening up the paper and seeing my work printed there. I love most of the people I work with, the atmosphere of the office, and the comradarie of everyone. 

I also hate many aspects of my job. But they are generally easy to overlook. 

I feel like a quitter, but I'm not reapplying for next semester. I'm not quitting because of things I hate though but because I'm going to become more involved at church. Which partly makes me even more sad to leave the Plainsman because over the past few weeks, I've talked to several people in there about God... But I just do not want to give a half-spirit effort into the plainsman BECAUSE of church stuff. Like I don't want them to be turned off church because I am always slacking on my work. I mean, I would give it my 100% I just don't think I could always be there. Like journalism isn't my life. It is for a lot of these people! I can always do it over the summer or next fall again. It's not like it's a one time thing! 

But onto the positive.
 The reason I'm going to be so crazy busy at church is because i'm taking a leap of faith and getting involved in a lot. I'm going to go to Guatemala over spring break, so I'll have a weekly small group of getting to know everyone in my small group extra well... AH. so excited about that!! but that's another post for another time. So in addition to that, and doing a LIFE group with Katie (hopefullyyyy cause that would make my semester ballin.), i'm going to do 252, which is an internship kinda thing at church. SUPER excited about that too!
So basically, in addition to my 17 hours of difficult classes, I'll be living at church. :) Which is fantastic.

And I know none of y'all really care about any of that, but it felt good to write it all out and prove to myself that I'm not a quitter. Now just to tell my boss...
