it's been a while

Gosh it's been a long time since I last blogged. And I was completely aware of it - it felt weird! Anyway, WiFi is a bit of a predicament at my house so I wasn't really online much over spring break. Highs and Lows of break: Highs - spending amazing quality time with the best family in America (mine!), interviewing the communications coordinator for Invisible Children (amazing), going on a 15 mile bike ride (round trip with some shopping in between), falling in love with san diego (i'm moving there after I graduate! or at least I would like to). Lows - Jon's passing was probably the only thing that makes it onto the Lows list. That was tough, but I can't help but feel happy for him now. He was an incredibly amazing beautiful person who knew Christ and is now dancing in Heaven with his Lord and Savior! Sweetness.

Just finished my first week back at school from spring break. What I'm realizing is that I'm not very burnt out on academics yet. I don't feel overwhelmed by the amount of things I have to complete for my classes before the end of the year. Perhaps I should? What I feel like I'm somewhat ready for a break from is consistency. Most days, I go to class at the same time, I eat lunch with the same people, I do some homework, I see the same girls on my hall, I go eat dinner at the same cafeteria, etc. Don't get me wrong, I absolutely adore my school, but I'm really looking forward to the freedom of summer. The opportunity to go on adventures and to explore! There are so many things I want to pick up and do. If all goes as planned, I'm going to chicago this summer to see maddie which i'm STOKED about. Also, Kristen and I are hoping to do a road trip to Colorado to visit her sister and molly. We're doing a couple days in san diego to go see Anberlin and spend some time with kristen's while we're there! I would love to go up to san francisco, especially because of everything taylor was telling me about it. It'd be great to go see the city and visit her while there. And then I hopefully am going to Seattle with my Papa for one of his work trips! He'll do a few meetings and then we can explore the city. Ahhh there's so much I want to do and so many places I want to explore! Oh ya....and maybe get a summer job? and...summer school? duh duh dun. We'll see what i fit in these next three months. I'll keep you posted!
