Firsts!

Today was the first day of my junior year in college. Wow, it's strange to say that and even weirder introducing myself as a third year while correcting others saying "No I am not in fact a freshman." There's nothing wrong with that, but it's funny I suppose.

The classes that I'm taking seem to be really interesting especially my Civic and Community Engagement class!

For the first time in my college schedule, I don't have a Friday morning class, which means I have more time to intern at AHA or hopefully with the Orange County Rescue Mission! How freaking awesome is that? Words can't express how excited I am for this school year. I don't want to spread myself too thin, but I already want to do so many things.

Some things I am thinking about: The Edge, SoPi, Interning, Volunteering, AMP, school... oh yeah and HAVE A LIFE.

I also don't want to use time as an excuse because when I talk to other people about the things that they have accomplished or feel most proud of, they had the same 24 hours in the same day to do so.

Another random note,
I absolutely adore my roommates so much, but I also miss my old ones!

ciao,

& today was a good day...

Ciao!

It'd be more appropiate to say that this summer was definitely a good summer with its topsy turvy twists and turns. 2009, most certaintly memorable

I've been fortunate enough to go travel the east coast with my family, take some summer school classes, intern at the American Heart Association and have one of the most amazing summers thus far with some wonderful roommates. Hanging out with guino has also been tremendously fun even if there were some not so fun times :) Camping, eating, laughing, and watching a lot a lot of movies. <3

So I guess I look like I'm in highschool still. I hope I don't act like it. I can't wait for school to start, but at the same time this summer glow is going to last for awhile. I want to paint my apartment. No idea what color.

Oh yeah, this month has also been birthday month extravaganza! Random ramblings while I'm interning. hehe
