Though sometimes I feel like I'm just barely making it through each week. Work is still wonderful, however the insanity of Tepeyac seems to have increased exponentially since I started. It seems like every day is more crazy than the previous day, and that some of the things that we see should just NOT have happened. It's kind of amazing how much ( Read more... )

I've officially begun to work. And I mean really work. I finally have a full time permanent job that provides benefits in a field that I never expected to be in, but is already proving to be very beneficial to my personal growth. It's funny how a whim is turning itself into something I may want to do for the rest of my life ( Read more... )

Today I found out that the doctor that delivered me (well, cut my mom open and pulled me out) went to jail and lost his lisence for sexually abusing his patients. So weird! I definitely remember my mother always saying good things about how comfortable he made her feel when she was pregnant with me and Ricardo, to the point where she got her ( Read more... )

( Another song that captures how I feel all too well )

Wow. I haven't been to a concert in a nice long time, and this was the perfect way to get back into it. I ended up going at the last minute, even though no one could go with me and I wasn't sure that I wanted to spent the money on it, but I did it anyway. So worth it! The opening band was Girlyman, who I'd never heard before, and they were ( Read more... )

Well, now that I'm back, I really don't know what to say/think/feel about the past 2 months on the mountain. It was beautiful, I know that much is certain, and the skies were unlike any I'd ever seen before - even in Costa Rica and Bolivia, which is saying a lot. Living under the darkest skies east of the Mississippi and having a group of ( Read more... )

Well now that it's been over a month, I figured I had to update to let you all know what's going on in my life ( Read more... )

Amazing amazing amazing. That is all for now because it is 3:15am and I am tired after a day of flying. But wow, I so needed every minute of that trip to happen exactly the way it did. Well, except for when my camera and a months worth of pictures were stolen on the last night of the trip. But everything else - too good for words.

Well, I will not likely forget this weekend anytime soon. Wednesday night my mom called me begging for Adam and I to chaperone Ricardo's weekend trip to Richmond for his Special Olympics meet because they didn't have anyone except the teachers. I had volunteered at a few one day events before, but never anything like this. Adam was OK with it, ( Read more... )

Yes, it's been a while, but my life has been consumed by 2 things - an inappropriately named botany class (it's called "Animal Field Biology" but about 80% of the class is spent talking about trees, while the other 20% are split between fungi and insects), and JOB APPLICATIONS. I never realized how time consuming this whole process was. Not only ( Read more... )
