I've Seen These Recently

Oh, and I've decided to become a Super Hero!

Feeling Good

So, this week I leave for Puerto Rico. I am extremely excited about this and just life in general right now. I love my classes this semester, I've been going to the gym every day, I start a volunteering job in a couple of weeks and I get to leave the states for a bit. I feel like I'm on a crazy high and I can't come off of it. I mean that in the most positive way possible. I went to Richmond last night to see a friend DJ and had a blast with an amazing group of people. A whole bottle of wine helped, but it would have been just as fun with out the bottle. Good week behind me and a good one to look forward to!

I can see myself living here

Maybe I should make it happen...one day

Good Conversation

I dig it...

First Day of Classes (This Semester)

I started school today for the the Spring Semester, sounds like it's going to be a busy semester. I am really excited! In one of my classes I have to do 50 hours of volunteer work and in another class I have to observe a child for a certain amount of hours. This semester is going to be a lot of prep work and getting my feet wet. My night class on Tuesday's is only going to be held 8 times and we are to do all of our work outside of the class. No tests, kind of stoked! For the other class I have to read this book, A Child Called "It", this book is really intense. It's about a really bad case of child abuse, but to the point where you think it could be made up, it's not. I have one more class that I have not gone to yet, it is Thursday night. School is coming along, and I am getting more and more excited as the days go by!

Pretty Darn Excited!!

I just bought my plane ticket to Puerto Rico today. I have never been out of the country and I am extremely excited. I leave January 29th and return February 2nd. It will not be a long trip, but a good one. Finally I get to see something other than Virginia!

Chrysler Museum Field Trip

I thought this was one of the coolest things there! Well not really, but it was pretty neat. I put the rest of my pictures on my Flickr.

My Mood Today

The Break is Over

So, the holidays are finally over with and they were good. I was nice to see my brother during Christmas and my best friend and it was good to just lounge around a lot. I was extremely relaxed and it just felt good to be with family and friends. I requested for a sleeping bag and a tent for Christmas, I got them! So now I plan on doing a lot of camping. I ended up going to New York for New Years and that was exciting. Coney Island was covered in snow, which actually made it look like a peaceful place. I went to Coney Island years ago for a music festival and I definitely remember it looking like a crappy carnival. So to be able to see it look like a white sheet was thrown on top, was extraordinary. When I was in New York, I got to go to a couple of eclectic places to eat and I went ice skating in Central Park. All in all it was a good mini vacation with a good group of people. Now the holidays are finally over and I return to school on Tuesday. I have 5 more classes and I have to do an internship in the fall and I will finally be done! It has taken me a while to finish, but it will be worth the wait. I will probably pick to do an internship with the city of Virginia Beach as a social worker. After my internship I have come up with a few options. Option #1- The Peace Corp, Option #2-Applying to grad school and staying here until I am finished, Option #3- Sending out my resume all over the United States and see what kind of job I can land. I am really planning on option 1, I feel like it would be such an eye opener for me and it's something I am going to school for anyways. Hopefully it works out! I hoping to do a little bit of traveling before I graduate. The plan is Puerto Rico in February and Istanbul, Turkey for my spring break. I have my fingers crossed! Also this year, I get 2 new nieces or nephews. My sister is due in June and my brother and his wife are due 3 weeks behind Julie. This will be an exciting year and I am so happy it has begun.

Van Morrison

Fill me my cup
And I'll drink your sparkling wine
Pretending everything is fine
Till I see your sad eyes

Throw me a kiss
Across a crowded room
Some sunny windswept afternoon
There's none too soon for me to miss
My sad eyes
Woh oh ou, not bad eyes
A glad eyes, but you my sad eyes

Fortunate and free
And there go you and i
Between the other sky
But who are you and i
To wonder why we do so
My sad eyes - lonely

Oh what a story
Come on in all it's glory
This song that I sing in everything
For you my sad eyes

You'd better fill me my cup
And I'll drink your sparkling wine
Pretending everything is fine
Till I see your sad eyes
Woh oh ou, not bad eyes
A glad eyes, but you my sad eyes
Lonely sad eyes
