Goodbye March.

I cannot believe that it is already going to be April! This is freaking me out, I graduate in December! As of now, I am leaning towards the Masters in Public Policy, just randomly throwing that out there. Thoughts? I'm open to them.

Spring Break was quite fantastic. Disneyland was great, Knott's Berry Farm was tons of fun, then I got to spend some time at home relaxing, and went to Tehachapi to visit a friend which was beyond fantastic. I'm not sure it could have been a better break. But now I am back, the first week after breaks is always so hard. I'm fighting off the beginning of a cold, so hopefully I am successful at that. I had an exam this week which did not go as I hoped it would, but thankfully in that class we have 3 exams and the lowest score gets dropped, so I just have to do well on the next one.

I am currently looking for summer internships. I applied for one at World Vision International, but I am not counting on getting that one. There are a lot available through USC that are paid but only like 10 hours a week for 8 weeks. I am going to apply for one of those and ask my boss if I can continue working there over summer again, which should be fine, so that I can be set for the summer and have one less thing to worry about. I'm fairly certain this will be the summer I finally buy a car, so if you know anyone selling one, let me know!

This weekend I am volunteering with LCM at Saint Marks to do a food distribution. Then on Sunday we are having our service at the beach in the morning which will be fun. Other than that, just getting back into things and catching up on homework and whatnot. I'll start that after having some fun first though. Last night I went bowling with friends and tonight I'm going out to dinner and a movie, then it's time to get serious. Typical mindset of a typical college student :)

Spring Break time!

Today marks the beginning of my Spring Break, and I could not be more excited. Although this is my least favorite of all breaks throughout the school year, I will take what I can get. I realize I have been somewhat MIA lately and I apologize, but I've been very busy because before Spring Break comes midterms, woo! The good news is that I got an A on all four of my midterms this semester, so I am pretty stoked about that. I was also away from technology for a weekend because I went camping with LCM which was SO MUCH FUN. I absolutely love this crazy, amazing group that God has lead me to. We all attempted to study, but none of really got much accomplished because we enjoy each other's company (and the beach) entirely too much. This was the most fun I've had in a while.

But now it is Spring Break! I have some exciting plans, nothing crazy like Cabo or anything, we all know that's not my thing. Instead... I'm going to Disneyland! With my mom, brother and sister and then Knott's the next day. I also have plans to drive to Tehachapi to visit a friend and hang out so it should overall be quite an amazing break. Then I must return to another exam on the Tuesday of the week we start back. Oh well, such is life. I'm just so excited to have a week off.

In other news, I have been researching things related to Master's programs as I am graduating in December. I have narrowed my options down to a Master's in Social Work or Public Policy. I haven't decided yet which one, but it will be one of the two. I'm just praying about it all and trusting that God will open the right doors for me, he always does. I am also applying for a summer internship with World Vision so I am hoping that that goes well. I believe that is all going on here. Hope all is well with you, too!
