It's been awhile!

Well so much for making sure I keep up with this. I was talking to my study abroad advisor yesterday and he suggested started a blog. And sill me... I almost started a new one! What an idiot I can be..

Anyway, I'm becoming progressively more excited about this whole traveling to Europe experience. I've already go my applications for the schools I will be attending next year, and have also started working (though minimally) on my scholarship application essay. It's going to be a toughy. The next couple months are going to be extremely stressful, since there's so much I have to do.

This month alone, I need to apply for my passport (nope. havn't done it yet), get my taxes done, get my fafsa done, make sure my parents do their taxes ASAP, finish my application to the schools abroad, get two reference letters from professors, and get an extremely good head start on my application essay... none of which I have started enough to call myself confident. Why do I do this to myself! The procrastination gene must build up like 90% of my DNA, I swear.

On another note, I'm doing pretty well in all my classes. I really like my anthropology class. It's just an introductory course, but I really find it interesting. Could this be my future major subject? Too soon to tell, but I will be taking another Anth course during Spring quarter to further question my interests. It will be a biological anthropology. So we'll discuss the evolution of Homo Sapien Sapiens (modern man); and in the lab we will be able to examine real fossils and skulls and stuff! I probably sound like a total nerd right now. But I'm excited. I've never really shown much interest in a science before. It was always English, a language, choir.. something artistic and very LEFT side of the brain.. so this is an entirely new perspective on my interests--not to mention my abilities.

ALSO, I AM GOING TO VEGAS, LAKE HAVASU, AND PHOENIX FOR SPRING BREAK!!!

I'm ECSTATIC about it. And we're flying! I love flying, it's going to by a blast. I'm going with my friend Samsy- someone I met in my early teens back when I was a Sea Scout. We met one day through a grapevine of friends and totally hit it off. Being a Central makes it difficult to see my friends from home. So when she called me up asking if I wanted to go, I was basically just like "Shit Yeah!" haha.

Well I guess that's all I have to say for now. Hopefully I'll remember to keep up with this. I truly do intend to make an effort since it's important to me that I'll blog over the summer and then whilst in Europe for next year. I'll probably send out letters to family members, letting them know of my plans and giving them directions to visit this blog.

Until next time, Toodiloo!

  1. Kiah, know that I also miss you. I was reminded of just how much when I read your amazing comment on my blog. It really makes my day to know you're thinking about me.

    I can't believe that you're going to Lake Havasu! It's going to be so beautiful. Please take your camera with you.

    It's funny that you almost started another blog. Hahaha. Well, be faithful to this one because I think you're doing a fantastic job in writing about the things you have.

    I get excited just reading about your nearing study abroad experiences and I'm even more excited to read and see photos of all you do there (is this backwards or wrong?).

    In the meantime, let's have a busy month together. I don't have as many major things as you do, but still I might also have an overabundance of that procrstination gene you were talking about. I am pro at making it hard on myself.

    Again, I appreciate your thoughts. I won't forget, though with my kind of personality I tend to drift such that I effectively isolate myself. I HAVE FRIENDS. I HAVE FRIENDS I CAN TALK TO! =D Thanks for being one of them
