• Sometimes I feel discriminated against, but it does not make me angry. It merely astonishes me. How can any deny themselves the pleasure of my company? It's beyond me.

• I belong to no race nor time. I am the eternal feminine with its string of beads.

"There may be some things we may have to moderate, but we should be careful not to become 'too adult.' I believe that it is the epitome of womanhood to be able to easily move between situations, and have the discretion to choose the correct demeanor for each situation. In 'growing up,' I know that I am a loyal friend, a fierce ally, a formidable opponent, and a determined humanitarian, but in all that, I am happiest when I see the glow in a child's eyes when we talk about Nemo, or Manny the Mammoth. We do have to be prepared to deal with 'adult issues' in an 'adult manner,' but in doing so, we cannot kill our inner youth. "-Jondrea

"me: so i'm thinking of joining the military
brooklyn: did u tell ur mom?
me: no she'd prob kill me

Still Alive!

Hey!

I'm still alive don't worry. I've learned no experience is the same and I'm not as young as I was last fall. I'm quickly becoming accustomed to the 8-5 or 9-6 lifestyle. Now if I can get some dollas for it everything would be going groovy!

Still haven't my future husband. I'm thinking a trip outside of Bavaria and maybe to London will have some eligible men. lol But real talk. I'm just living my life and trying not to stress about things I can't control. Being drama free is all right with me!

:)

Flying off to a New Adventure

Heyyyy!!!

In about 4 hours I'll be on a plane to Germany, to continue my Internship. Just in case, you don't recall what it is. MY internship is with the University of Iowa as a Camp Adventure intern. I mainly work in the Army Child Development Center as support staff. It's an okay job but I'm not getting paid.

This time I'll be in Schweinfurt and it already looks to be an interesting adventure. One of my friends from undergrad is coming along for the ride-- he'll be in a complete different city.

I'm pretty much packed and ready to go. I had some fun during my winter break but now I'm ready to get things in motion.

I'm doing the job hunt dance. My resume is getting passed around for possible internships on Capitol Hill. But I'm really looking for a job that pays money. I'm looking into Grad School as a viable option. But we'll see.

So what are my goals while in Germany?

Well I'm going to continue my weightloss/workout routines. I want to loose 10 more pounds and tone up.. all that jazz.. and more importantly maintain it.

I'm going to travel less. If I travel it'll be mainly around Germany.

I'm focusing so much on the job hunt. I think it's becoming my obsession. I'm developing my 5 year plan sooooo we'll see.

But yea I'm going to go grab a bite to eat and finish packing.

Ciao!
