Surprise!!

For the past few days I was in a funk. I felt like I was in the depths of despair as Anne of Green Gables would say. But today that changed when one of my best college friends Jenny came for a surprise visit. Oh man it was wonderful. It's only been about 2 weeks but it's awful to go from seeing everyone everyday to nothing. Plus she is just such an encouragement for me that I've missed her greatly. But we had lunch, knitted, and visited for a bit and I can't wait for her longer visit in about a week and a half. Also my good friend from home Katie is hopefully going to visit me down here in St. Aug this week will be wonderful since I haven't seen her in months!!! Otherwise I'm working some at the Research Library and working on papers as well as unpacking my room which needs to happen before my roommate comes back from Israel!


PS I hope she doesn't kill me for this but this totally represents our friendship and personalities me standing there as Jenny is crazy and makes me laugh.

Summer

Summer has begun for me. I am done with my Spring semester at Flagler. So far I have 3 B's and I think one A but it hasn't all been confirmed quite yet. I didn't do as well as I was really hoping this semester but it's better.
I've really enjoyed by internship this semester and I'm currently waiting to find out if it will turn into a job for the rest of my time in St. Augustine. It would really be awesome and I'm really anxious to find out and praying that I will be hired!
I will also be moving into my first apartment sometime in May. I'm really excited to be living with the 3 other girls that are sharing the apartment. It should be fun!
I also am really looking forward to my Europe trip in June! I'm trying to plan things and hopefully will be buying some stuff for my trip. But that is all I'm sure I'll have much more to talk about soon.

New Year New Semester

Oh man it has been a long time since I've written. Many things have happened and much has stayed the same. The Fall Semester finally ended in a whirl wind that was not as successful as I would have liked it to be. My GPA dropped but I am confident that I can raise it back up to a more successful (in my view that is) number. I spent much of my break working at the craft store so that I could make some money for my Europe trip this summer, however I as always got spendy and spent a lot of it on Christmas Presents. However I came back this semester to school and have started my internship at the St. Augustine Historical Society Research Library. I am responsible for one main project involving a reorganization of biographical photographs and also assisting with the development of a tour about the house that the library is headquartered. There are also several other projects that I will have the opportunity to be involved in which will give me a ton of experience for my future career in public history. One of the most exciting things about this internship is that this experience will be amazing for my grad school applications because as my professors have told me is that many undergrads who apply for the public history degress in grad schools do not have this kind of experience to back up their interest. So basically I'm ahead of the game which makes me really excited. I am a bit nervous about my course load and am praying for all As! That would just make my year I feel like. Well this has been an incredibly random post and I also have plans to write about my experience at Passion 2010 which was probably one of the best experiences of my life, I loved Atlanta!
