So, I love Francesca Battistelli. A lot. She seems to sing what I am thinking. I heard this song a while ago, but I just recently really listened to it- and it fits so perfectly. Love it!


My heart beats, standing on the edge
But my feet have finally left the ledge
Like an acrobat
There’s no turning back

Chorus
I’m letting go
Of the life I planned for me
And my dreams
Losing control
Of my destiny
Feels like I’m falling and that’s what it’s like to believe
So I’m letting go
This is a giant leap of faith
Trusting and trying to embrace
The fear of the unknown
Beyond my comfort zone

Chorus
I’m letting go
Of the life I planned for me
And my dreams
Losing control
Of my destiny
Feels like I’m falling and that’s what it’s like to believe
So I’m letting go
Giving in to your gravity
Knowing You are holding me

I’m not afraid
Feels like I’m falling and that’s what it’s like to believe
Feels like I’m falling and this is the life for me

I love this song because of it's message- it's hard to let go of everything I have ever wanted. My dreams seem to be fading quickly and I am left with absolute cluelessness as to what I want to do with my life or where I want to be in 5 years. This is a complete leap of faith for me and way far away from my comfort zone, yet God has given me a complete peace about it. I am not worried, I'm not concerned, and I am ready for what's next! It's very exciting.

On a school related note, softball is in full swing. I am exhausted!

I recently took over a computer lab so I didn't have to push through the hallways with my cart- however- it's research paper time. Meaning all labs are filled. So, it's back to roaming the halls, being mistaken for a student, being late for every class, and constantly forgetting things. To make it worse it's End of Course time, so that means I am lugging around tons and tons of preparation materials and workbooks! No fun. But hey! I'm burning calories!

Speaking of the End of Course test- it's hard! Very hard. With trick questions. I am genuinely concerned. This is the first year Indiana has done the test so there is not much available. Students are getting frustrated and concerned, because if they don't pass, they don't graduate. Don't get me wrong- I think testing students on what they should know is fine. Not great- but fine. However, trick questions? C'mon. Don't put two answers that could both arguably be right and ask which one is the best. I don't know what the test thinkers think is the best. I know what I think is the best- but it has not matched up a couple of times. It's very annoying, especially when they want to base my salary on how well students do. But that's a whole other post and I don't feeling like getting mad before I start the school day.

Just a few morning thoughts. Hope you all have a fantastic day and weekend! :)
