And two and a half weeks later.....

So, I decided to take a couple weeks to focus on a few other things (primarily one giant test), but I will try to highlight a few major points that have happened since September 24th.

I.....

• Went to Long Beach with my roommates
• Went to an AMAZING Spanish rock concert (Elefante, check them out) at the house of Blues
• Took 6 full practice LSATs
• Walked around downtown Disney
• Ran a sprint/hills workout with the cross-country team (almost died)
• Went to an awesome fundraiser for Urban Compass (Carolyn's placement) at Lucky Strike bowling alley
• The Packers lost twice
• The Twins got swept by the Yankees
• Went to an great cocktail party hosted by the Chairman of Urban Compass' board
• Chaperoned an all day/overnight Freshman retreat
• Met an amazing nun
• Had support people over for dinner, they are still amazing
• Continued to learn students names
• My roommate Dan came down to visit
• We had an entire week where all we ate as a house was rice and beans (we could have used some bean-o)
• My job continues to ebb and flow, sometimes I am swamped and sometimes there is nothing
• It rained in LA, at least twice!
• Filled up the vans, always a pleasure
• I took the LSAT.......

I know that I missed a few things, but that is what I could remember off the top of my head. Needless to say I have been pretty busy/preoccupied these past few weeks. Luckily I was able to have a few fun/refreshing events to give me some sanity in between studying!

Work has been good and our community has been even better. I don't know if I have ever been surrounded by so many people committed to so many good causes. Everyone here seems to care more about others then they care about themselves. I am just excited now that I can fully commit myself to my job and community and not have to worry about admissions tests....

I promise that I will keep blogging consistently now, it helps me remember everything that I am doing too! I miss all of my friends, family, michelle, and everyone from back home. We have plenty of couches if anyone wants to come and visit, the weather is always warm!
