Hey guys, Krystal here! Hope everyone is having a great summer and time off to enjoy and relax!
Just wanted to share a little about my time off since I haven't seen you guys in forever!
In the spring I took a city college class - Italian 2 - buonissimo! It was a little bit of a struggle at first just getting used to such a big school, such a change from Gordon; both people wise and work load wise. However, I'm now so grateful that I get to attend a school where people actually want to be at and with others who are willing to work hard! Overall it was a great experience and I'm hoping to use the language that I learned for when I study abroad to get my art minor.
I also contacted my old volleyball coach from when I was a baby in high school and somehow ended up assistant coaching the Men's frosh/soph team at my old high school. Go figure. So I guess I'm a coach now? I even got to sit in on some games. It was definitely a learning experience trying to keep 17 squirrelly guys in order - but they ended up respecting me more than the actual coach and I learned some valuable things.
Other than that - during the spring semester - I babysat a lot, learned how to cook better (for team dinners!), learned that I am lactose intolerant and can't really have any grains, and took some self defense classes... so if anyone needs protecting.... :) I was also really blessed to start most of my mornings doing devotions and having quiet time. It was something that was really great for me. I've read a lot of great books, both fun and classics, worked on my art portfolio, have been cleaning out all my stuff here, and spending some quality time with the family.
So that's a little bit of what I've been up to for the last 7 months - and the time has really flown by! I'm so grateful for this much needed rest even though I've missed all of your faces and can't wait to see you again :)
Hope that everyone is having great summers and staying safe while traveling!
love you all,
krystal
