It's been about 5 months... oops :)
I survived last semester, obviously. And all of summer. I pulled off pretty decent grades also; passed Italian 3, B+ in comparative literature, A in Sociological Research Methods, and an A in Social Psychology. My GPA is on the rise which is good. Fun fact for those of you who don't already know, I'm back with my, as they say "high school sweetheart," Xander, so that's fun.
Summer... Nothing super eventful has been going on. I worked in LA at my job I have during the year, so that wasn't new or exciting. It was a good summer overall. Nice and relaxing. My nieces and nephews were down from Texas for a while so it was great to see them. I've just spent a lot of time with family and seeing old friends. That's what summer is all about, right?
I move back to LA tomorrow to my apartment. My address will be 3115 S Orchard Ave. #125, Los Angeles CA, 90007, just in case you feel the urge to send me a letter or something exciting. Fall semester is looking like it should be a decent year, despite the horrible football sanctions the school has been so lucky to receive. The good news is USC is officially ranked higher than UCLA in the national college rankings, we are 23rd and they are 25th. So if nothing else, at least there's that :). I will be going to Hawaii with a friend and her parents from September 1st through 6th to follow our football team and watch our first game there, and enjoy a few days to ourselves too. We are looking forward to that. In terms of actual school, I will be taking Advanced Writing for Social Sciences, Deviant Behavior, and Sociological Statistics. Nothing particularly fun, but it should be alright. I'll still be working at the same place and am also going to continue doing yoga twice a week.
I can't think of anything else coming up soon. That's the gist of what is in the near future. I'm all packed up and ready to start another year at good ol' SC. Only a year and a half to go! God only knows what's in store for me after that. I'll be in touch though! Don't be strangers. I hope all is well!
