Reunited

On my drive back to the east coast this summer I left my beloved water bottled in a hotel. I believe it was in Kansas City, MO. For the past month I have been without it. I don't know how I made it through because I had that thing with me all the time before. But good news, I finally found a place in Annapolis that sells them and I got another one. Whoo hoo

Oh and...
a. I move back to Annapolis on Mon. So happy to be going home. 
b. I started filling out my application for Taiwan.
c. I am looking at schools for psychology. I just have no idea where I want to go. 

Dreams

Lately I have been dying to go one a trip to a tropical place. Hawaii or the Caribbean I don't care but I just want to go there. Ugh, I wish I could just run away.

Wakiki Beach, Hawaii

Some place in the Caribbean

Compliments

"Too often we underestimate the power of a touch, a smile, a kind word, a listening ear, an honest compliment, or the smallest act of caring, all of which have the potential to turn a life around.”  Leo F. Buscaglia

Well today I was at Target getting some random things. I was browsing through the home section, my favorite section of all, and this guy stops and gets my attention. He said he saw me earlier and just wanted to tell me that I had a great smile. Well being the smooth person as I am, I just stand there say thank you and have no clue what else to saw. He introduced himself, I think his name was Robert but to be honest I don't remember. I was not really paying attention just was flattered that he came up to me to compliment me. Needless to say, I'm not very good at the whole meet new people, them compliment me and start up small talk with them. But I was still flattered and quite happy with myself after he left. I definitely needed something like that to change this pesky, horrible mood I have been in lately.  It is not very often that something like that happens to me and when I does I am a little out of my element


UPDATE on my life!!!

Well lately I have been considering moving back home for the rest of the summer. I am currently in Alexandria living with my sister and working at Ouback. But I am making basically no money at Outback and need to make more money than what I am right now. So I am planning on going back to work at Mike's Crab House near Annapolis, as long as they will let me come back and have a spot available. I am looking forward to laying by the pool with Allie, seeing friends from high school and just relaxing. I am still going to take it easy this summer and enjoy my last real summer.

Also, I am still contemplating grad school, in psychology, so that means... 
a. I have to start looking into colleges, again!
b. I might have to take more classes that will fulfill some requirements for a psychology masters
c. I have to start studying for the GRE

Obsession

For a long time I have loved Vera Bradley. It has been an east coast thing so when I moved out to Utah I forgot how much I loved it. Now that I am home I have resurfaced my affection for it. I just hope my bank account can handle this!

Taiwan

I am trying to decided if i want to go to Taiwan and teach english for  six months. I have no plans for when I graduate in december and this would start at the very beginning of january. I would get paid plus have rent, airfare and food stipend provided. It sounds like an awesome deal but I am nervous about going there to teach english and not know the other language at all. I have to decide soon because I have to put in my application soon. Let me know what you think!
