Time

Like so many people, I cannot believe time flies by so fast! This semester is already passing by. It reminds me not to take things for granted, and to enjoy the moment. Although I am anxious to know what life will be like after I graduate, I am trying to enjoy my last year of grad school and not worry so much.

I have to admit that worry is something that gets the best of me sometimes. I do realize that worrying can be a waste of time. All you can do is try your hardest and prepare to the best of your ability.

I am so excited this semester about two things: learning how to build a website from the ground up (kristenmclaughlin.biz is my work in progress) and exploring destination branding in my International PR class. There are other things I am excited about, but these are the two that first come to mind.

Grad school has been a great decision for me, not to mention good timing. And one thing I think about is that I used to worry all the time if it was the right decision. It is something that I put off for five years because I was worrying about if I should go or not. I am glad that I ignored my anxiousness for this decision! I am definitely working on this and looking forward to what the future might hold. I can't say I won't think about it, but I will try not to worry unnecessarily! :)

Thank goodness for... rain!

Like so many people, I have never been so happy to see rain in my life! It is very exciting! I did not see this rainbow in Texas. I actually saw it in Hawaii, but I thought I would post it to remind me and everyone of the beauty that can result from rain.

Even though we might not see a rainbow this beautiful here, at least the rain will hopefully help to alleviate the drought situation, at least a little bit. My mom, who teaches in Cedar Park, told me that her students acted like the rain was snow! They were so excited.

I hope to see even more rain and maybe some rainbows very soon!
