i miss my friends from home :o(

but i am two days, four classes, two mid terms, one book, one and a half art projects, and some homework away from SPRING BREAK! a.k.a. the next two days will be hellish, but worth it.
i'm going to Barren Springs, Virginia with Appalachia Volunteers of Boston College to live a week with an underprivledged community and help out in a variety of ways. i'm really excited but nervous for the 13-ish hour bus drive, the possibility of not being able to bathe for a week, and that my back will break from sleeping on the floor for seven nights. but the pro's will outweigh the con's i'm 100% positive.
i cant wait to meet new people.
i cant wait to get away from campus.
i cant wait to be to a place ive never been before.
i cant wait to help people in a tangible, real way.

but i do miss my friends and family and kinda wish i was going home next week like a lot of people are, but it'd be silly to miss such a good opportunity such as Appalachia when i know my friends and family will be there for me when i get back, just like theyre always there for me. plus, melissa came up last weekend and my parents are coming up this weekend before i leave, so it'll be A.O.K.

the ALC Ball was gorgeous. it was at the Fairmont Copley. also known as somewhere i could only dream of having my wedding someday. astonishing.
the dj could have been better, the dance floor was kind of scattered even with 800 or so people there. i didnt dance with any guys. but i turned down two ;o) and i danced a lot with just people i knew. i went with my 'BC big sister' who i love.
then melissa came the next night and we sat in my room and it was great, no jokes haha. best friend status 100%.

i also really want to find a better job this summer. i want to keep old navy a couple days a week but do something more real and with less retail bullshit. but i havent stumbled upon anythign yet.

talk to you soon.
love.
