It's March already?

It feels like the semester just started! I feel like I just got back from El Salvador. Time flies when you are having fun I guess. This semester I have been really good about going to all my classes even when I know critique won't be good. I also have tried out the dating scene. Oh man, got some good stories on that one. Which is so new for me. Dating. who does that anymore?
I am feeling a bit of the mid semester slump. Definitely looking forward to a week at home. Going to the beach, drinking iced coffee, reflecting, taking pictures. Hanging out with my parents.
Good ol' Maine things. Then I will be ready to finish the semester with a bang.
I am finally where I need to be. <3

Surprising myself with my own strength

Remember who I was a year ago?
Hello, I am a completely different person. Nice to meet you. This kid standing in front of you is finally happy confident and strong. And she knows it.
I am finally at a school I feel like I fit into perfectly. I have made some very close friends. I have traveled to a foreign country for the first time. I loved every moment of it.
I'm not saying I'm perfect and completely well, but it amazes me how different my life is in just one short year. As the self affirming statement I picked out in January 2009 says: "I take pride in my accomplishments and look forward to what I intend to achieve."
