Just Keep Swimming

Did I ever mention that I love Disney movies? Well...I do!!! Especially the ones they do with Pixar. Man! The stories are fascinating and graphics are phenomenal. Watching the behind-the-scenes portion of the DVD gives the audience a glimpse of the intense thought and process that these guys go through...I mean its just amazing work...but I bet it's also pretty grueling, but I guess the rewards are totally worth it, which brings me to my main point...

I love watching Finding Nemo over and over again. I mean it's just captures your heart. There are several things from that movie that you can totally pick out, but one thing really is stuck in my memory bank forever:"just keep swimming," which was said by Dory, the blue fish who always forgot about everything, but suprisingly, her cognitive skills are sharp enough that she knows her phonics and is able to read! (There goes my teaching skills!..lol.) But anyways, i brought that up to say, it's almost the end of the semester and I just can't wait to relax and do.....absolutely NOTHING! Just relaxing and enjoying being with my family. It has been crazy for the past months and I know things are not gonna get easier, as our professors have said (and we believe them) we just get used to the pain of all the work we have to do...lol...but true. It's such a temptation to just kick back and relax, but I know there's no stopping now. If anything, we should keep pushing for the best, we started strong, we finish strong (that should be ending blog heading for the semester...mental note).

So, even if I want to just let things pass me up again, I'm going to do what Dory said...to just keep swimming.

p.s. Some of my close friends think I'm like Dory many times because my short-term memory is well....really short, and that was even before I was pregnant (which btw, I have been doing all these crazy work for school and I'm 32 weeks pregnant! thats 8 months...crazy! God is good....)
