'Til The World Ends.

It is now officially the new year.
Two-Thousand Twelve.
I am graduating my Associates this year, which completely blows my mind.

I actually still can't believe that I go to college.
I still feel so young.
So naive.
I know I still have so much learning to do.
And still so many mistakes to make.
How could I possibly only have a single year left of schooling?
It just doesn't seem like enough time.
I still don't feel ready.
And I still don't know what I'm supposed to be readying for.


19 still feels a lot like 9.

New Year. New Profile Layout.

Flightless Bird

I have really awesome friends.
And we throw really great Christmas parties.
I don't think my year would have been complete without any of these people.
I really am lucky to be surrounded by such a good group of people.

Vancouver is so close.
I can't freaking wait.
Bellinis and Sweet Potato Fries are calling to me.
And of course I get to have my family in one place, all at the same time.

Who knew that just a few changes both physically, mentally, and spiritually could affect me in such a positive and healthy way?
Great friends and a wonderful family, all while attending a school that I love to be at.
I certainly didn't think it would be this... satisfying.

I really am blessed.

Take It Easy

This year has been flying by.
I can't believe Christmas Vacation is only a week and a half away.
I felt like just yesterday, I was in Florida, frolicking around Disney World.
And now I will be in Vancouver within the next coming week.

I guess time really does fly by in good company.

Well, I guess there is only one thing to do at a time like this...
Make Gingerbread Houses!

Baby, It's Cold Outside

Christmas is coming soon and I can't wait to see my family.
Vancouver can't get here fast enough.
But for now, I'll just have to deal with school.

Cuisines of the Mediterranean is my next class.
I start it at the crack of dawn.
About 5am.
As most of you know, I am far from a morning person.
Oh well.
Our class lunches are going to be so delicious.

Well, wish me luck for tomorrow!

Yo No Hablo Español

It always turns out right.
I really need to stop worrying so much.

Cabo San Lucas was wonderful.
Angela, Benjamin's sister was absolutely beautiful.
Just seeing she and Robert together solidifies my belief that there is someone out there for everyone.
They just have that vibe about them; that forever kind of love.
Ben's family was so warm and inviting to me.
I didn't feel unwelcome in the slightest.
And that means more to me then anything.
No matter what may happen in the future, I will never forget the kindness I have just received from this family.

And of course, I would have never made it to my flight or back to school without my wonderful friends Marcella and Todd.
They are totally a dime a dozen.

Pictures should hopefully be up soon!

Cabo

I'm going to Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, tomorrow.
I'm a tad bit nervous and I'm not sure if I'll sleep properly tonight.

I feel like I'm having an out of body experience right now.
Cabo seems like a very strange way to spend my time right now.
Not a bad strange.
Just strange.

I've never done anything like this before.
I feel like I'm doing a very grown up thing.
I feel nervous and already a tad bit overwhelmed.
Like a fish about to be cast out of the water.

Everything will be alright though... right?
