So, this summer in a nut shell has been...interesting to say the least. I just have to say that I am so grateful for having Elizabeth by my side to support me all the way. I don't think I could have done it without her.
There actually hasn't been that much that went on this summer, mostly just work getting to me. I work 38.5 hours per week doing a great deal of the same monotonous task day after day after day...(my mom calls this a "stay in school" job) I think the biggest problem is that it doesn't feel very rewarding in the job I do. I clean carpets and wax floors. Most of the time when cleaning carpets, you can't even tell the difference in looks after cleaning them and wax, well that is a bit more rewarding because you can actually see the difference as soon as your done. I think what urks me the most is that I am doing professional level jobs (I know because I cleaned carpets professionally for a while) but yet, I get payed minimum wage.
Anyways...now that my rant is over with. I simply cannot wait for school to start up again. I need to have social contact with my friends and all those people around me. I miss it so stinking much. I cannot wait to have classes with my friends. I guess we'll see how it all turns out. 3 more weeks!!!
I know I'm getting this idea from elizabeth a little bit, but, coming from the current job I'm in, I'm realizing that I want something different. I want to do stuff. I don't know if that means travelling, or doing missions work or something completely different that I haven't even thought about yet. But I really just think I need to do something with my life besides sitting behind a desk or cleaning or whatever for the rest of my life!
For now though, I guess I need to find comfort in the fact that God has a plan for me and my life and I simply need to let Him show me the path He has set forth for me.
Until next time,
Phillip Andrew

I totally get what you're saying about not feeling like you're accomplishing anything, but I thought I should take a second and tell you that every time you clean a carpet, whether you can see the difference or not, you are making a HUGE difference in the life of the person who will be in that dorm room or the people who will be taking classes in that classroom or watching movies in that lounge or whatever.
I LOVE YOOOOUUUU
PS - I'm sure you could have done it without me! You are AMAZING!!!!
