The "Beginning" of Summer

Here it is already June. I kind of suck at keeping a blog these days. I've been back from Peru for two weeks, but am finally today moving back into my parents' house for the summer. I already graduated over a month ago, ventured off to Peru with a group from my school, and have been adjusting back to life here in Sac for the past couple of week (which has NOT been a challenge...just lots of fun! :) ) I did not realize how many people I still know from around here and we have undeniably having lots of fun. Well, free fun...as I am broke. REALLY broke. And the price of gas is ridiculous. I was not sure how I was going to make it if I did not find a job soon. Everybody talks about how bad the economy is, including myself, but the past two weeks of searching for a job have really proved it. Luckily, my old job at Strategies for Change came through again...so I'll be playing with kids all day while their moms are in group. It's a fun job, I don't think I could have asked for a better one. And my co-workers are amazing--> the vibe there is really positive.

I leave the first of September for Germany. I'm in the midst of figuring all of the details out. I know this opportunity is going to be great, before I come back to start studying what I am really passionate about and want to do as a career.

Life has been good, I like to think that the relaxed mindset of the Peruvians has rubbed off on me. :)

Eventually I'll post some pics from all of the crazy things these past couple of months: graduation, Peru, summertime here in Sac...I can't even take any more pictures at the moment because my camera broke...and I broke my mom's too. haha. don't trust me with your cameras; I'm cursed.

Love from Sac, wherever you may be...
