What I have learned in orientation.
The FISH Philosophy.
Its how a fish market in Seatle became famous and how everyone should go about their day.
1. Have fun
2. Make others' day
3. Be There - be an active listener
4. Choose an attitude
It flows right into The Disney Way. If you wake up and decide you are going to have a positive attitude, trusting the Lord - knowing that every morning He grants us new mercies, and put others before yourself time goes by faster, speed bumps in the day dont feel so big, and life is fun. We should all try it. :)
Parking is complicated.
Every type of parking - curbside, flat lot, garage, and garage roof is a different price. If I were in charge of parking everything would be one price. done deal.
If a speaker is dynamic and puts time into understaning what will keep their audience engaged time goes by so fast.
I will be spending a lot of time in the library this semester. We have morning classes and then late afternoon classes and gaps between the two. My hope is I can come home at night with little to none work left to do. I will let you know how that is going a couple of weeks from now...
This weekend is time to get organized and enjoy the last bit of freedom...
In Christ,

Hello Blogging World
I have read blogs of friends and yes I will admit to reading blogs of complete strangers. I find it so interesting to have a peak into how others view the world. As I am starting my own new journey, I thought it a good idea to write my own blog for friends and family.
I am in the middle of orientation week for my masters in Occupational Therapy at University of Texas Medical Branch in Galveston. I find myself comparing it to Baylor's orientation. Maybe I am just a little bias but in my humble opinion no one does orientation/welcome week events better than Baylor. There are 48 of us in my OT class, I am sure we will become close but for now its surface friendships.
I am so thankful that the Lord has brought me here. I am also thankful for the journey I took to arrive here. I had a year between undergrad at Baylor and now. I finished a few classes for grad school. I became a cast member at Disney for a semester. While at Disney, Ryan and I became a couple (more on him later). I lived on my own 4 states away from my parents. I learned the Disney way, but most of all I was enabling guests to have a magical vacation just like I had when I was a child. In January, I subbed for the school I went to high school. This summer, I nannied for a family with three elementary kiddos and worked as a cashier at Drug Emporium. I was a jack of all trades for the year!
