I love being able to look back in retrospect and appreciate life for what it was and what it means for now, there is always a lesson to be learned. Being able to re-evaluate circumstances brings out new perspectives and new directions....and new conclusions, and new beginnings.
I've ALREADY learned so much about myself through this journey and it's only been 5 weeks. Last night we had our Spriracha SHS sleepover and it was the first (of what I assume will be many) A-HA moments of self discovery, my potential, and how I can make this generic "returner" position MY OWN. I don't know if he reads this....but I'm so freakin glad Sam is my hubby. We have similar ways of thinking, and I think we complement each other very well :) I don't even want to get all AGT on him right now but, again, it's only been 5 weeks and he's already dropping knowledge on ME and giving me new perspectives on the program that I've been able to apply to other parts of my life.
It's like having moments of clarity and feeling the warm and fuzzies at the same time. KEEP EM COMING!

Week 2 - Success!
I've been living life like it's already freakin SUMMER and it feels amazing (despite the fact that I'm slacking off in school :X but I made the choice to slack off this quarter so I actually don't feel that bad).
After reflecting on this week, I realized I spent good quality time with people who have helped shape me one way or another throughout college, and people who I know I'll keep in touch with until I'm old and senile and can't remember them anymore. I feel like I made really good use of my time this week! (And right now, making good use of my time means making new memories with people I care about while it's still easy, since we haven't graduated yet.)
Some highlights:
1. Mimosas on the beach
2. RA happy hour
3. I found a new interest in shuffle ball (At the goat! It's so much fun)
4. WS Crew Thursdays
5. Flashing people from a hotel balcony
6. HARDSOFT part 2
7. Making balloon toys/animals - I can make you a giraffe!
There are amazing people in my life right now and I can't complain about anything. Thank you to everyone who smiled and laughed with me this week!

update?
Life has been interesting. Fast. Very fast. Let me make a list of thoughts because I like lists-
1. Please keep Alicia Bailey in your prayers. I'm praying for your recovery EVERY DAY, love. Be strong<3
2. DR.KIM --> made my initial seminar experience a ball of STRESS! But things are looking better now that Jenny and I stood our ground.
3. LSATS? Law school? Who cares, I don't care!
4. My sister got into vet school and is moving back here in JULY<3333
5. ONE WORD: SPOP
The last one definitely needs more explanation! But let me just say for now....I'm so grateful for this experience. I've been having major highs and lows the past couple weeks and this 4 letter word has been pushing me to keep going, and reminding me what I want to put my time and energy into this last quarter/summer. My heart just melted today doing the easter egg hunt with my spfams....watching the connections that are just beginning to form and will continue to grow as the experience moves forward...it's a perspective that makes me feel so humble and blessed.
Ack, time to go, but stay tuned for more!
