Me gustan las manzanas.

I've gotten really bad about posting and letting you read what my life is about. I don't really go online much anymore because I've realized how much I can get done if my computer is off. Anyway... it has been a crazy 4 months since I last wrote. Really, I can't beleive that my senior year is going to be over in a month and 10 days!! (but who's counting?) My life has seemed as though it has been in fast forward but I have actually had time to sit back and enjoy it, which is really nice.

Let's start with the semester break... that was a wirlwind of a time. Catching up with friends, working at Edible Arrangements, spending time with family, making cookies with friends and so much more. It was SOO cold and my body was in shock for a little bit. One of my best friends from Meredith came up for New Years, which without her I would have done nothing. Lanee' and I went to Watch Hill with the top down (on my moms advice) which was a great time... she got to see where I live during the summers and when I just need time to think. I also took her to THE SUN for the count down, which was totally crazy but being us, we had tons of fun. The next day Lanee' and I went to Newport to see some of those mansions which were no less than amazing, even in the rain. Once Lanee' left it was time for me to start packing up for my last semester and reality started setting in... last time I was leaving the house and getting taken care of by my parents....

I came back to school and within the first month we celebrated 107 days until we graduate!! OH MY GOSH!!! The count down started and how we went from 107 to 40 is unknown to me. I started off my semester with 18 credits to finish my minor and gen-ed but I now have 12. BIG difference... but I am still finishing my minor and gen-ed so it's all good. For the first time I enjoy my classes and want to learn instead of having to learn. I am pritty much the only senior in all of my classes, there is one that there are about 4 of us and then another which is basically all seniors but it's a strange yet powerful feeling... I'm a senior, they are freshman... I didn't every think that I was old enough to be 21 almost 22 and graduating college, but then I see some of these girls in my classes and think... wow, I used to be like that... I have grown so much, I hope they do as well.

It feels as though not a lot has happened yet, so much has... I do have to say that this semester I have realized how special all my friends are. Without them, I wouldn't be able to get up in the morning or get on with my life. They have been my life support where I've always had my parents to do that for me... I cannot say thank you enough for everything they have done for me. And for the most part, life has been good. I am getting excited to graduate, although it is going to be really hard to leave the dorms and just going down the hall to see my sisters.

Oh this is exciting! So, for the longest time I have had an idea of what I wanted to do, but had no idea where I could go.... well, I went to the non-profit fair the other day and found a spot in life for me! :) I have an interveiw with Methodist Home for Children on April 10th for the residential councelor. I also have looked at Eckerd Youth Alternative and Cameron Boys Camp. They all are similar and work with a group of kids helping them with life skills. :) I hope everything works out. Anyway... It has been yet another super long post... Have a wonderful day!!

Hasta luego amigos
