Learning is in the Challenge

Sigh.

I'm sorry I've been so quiet- things have been complete and utter chaos around here the past month or so. I've definitely had my fair share of ups and downs but I'd like to think there were more ups than there were downs.

I'm trying to decide the best way to "catch up" with out boring you. I guess I'll hit some of the highlights:

- Over the past 4 weeks I've been in, probably, the most difficult class ever. Reading is practically my archnemisis...but...there was no way around the evil beast. I just completed my first public policy/theory course and the class required enormous amounts of reading (of propoganda). I swear I probably read more the past 4 weeks than I have EVER read in my entire life. And this is no exaggeration. Seriously.

- I'M GOING TO PARIS, FRANCE!!!!!!!! The plans have been in the making since about September-ish. But, it's official, plane tickets purchased. The planning, well I'm working on the planning piece of it trying to decide what attractions are "must sees" and which ones posibly could be seen on another trip. But, I know a portion of my trip will include a hop over to Budapest, Hungary to visit some family. I can't wait!!!!!

- I've felt very blessed and humbled. I always grew up never really knowing what I wanted to do with my life, and there are some days I still feel that way. But, I think I"m finally starting to figure it out. And, for the first time, I'm finaly starting to realize all of the potential my life holds. It's pretty motivating! Aaand....I'm realinzing that I have some pretty amazing (and important) people on my side, cheering me on to do great things.
