Almost crossing the finish line...

My life is a whirlwind...too fast paced! I will finally graduate in December..YA! But now the pressure is on to find a job, a new place to live, and save up money for my 2009-early 2010 travels..which I am still excited about. Besides my 4 country travels in South America plus Falkland Island in late Jan 2009-February, I have also made plans with a friend to go out to Greece and Australia (my dream!) in mid to late 2009! I'm also looking forward to an Alaska trip in early 2010! My life for the next 2 years will be filled of finally having some dreams of mine come true! I'm going from traveling to just Catalina Island and throughout other states in the US to traveling to Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Guyana, Falkland Island, Greece, Australia, and Alaska in the next 2 years! I believe this is definitely well deserved. So definitely looking forward to working 50 hours a week to pay for all of this!

Besides all of this, school is starting to become to overwhelming for me. It's too the point that my weekends are pretty much the same. School during the week. One day to relax. The rest of the weekend to type up the usual 3-6 papers a week. :o( Sometimes it goes by fast and sometimes I feel like I'm wasting away in my last semester of school when I should be enjoying it. I guess it also doesn't help that I can't concentrate on anything anymore because all I can think of right now are my dream travels and moving out and living a new life!

In food news, I tried the 4 cheese gnocchi at Spumoni in Stevenson Ranch and it was fabulous! Haven't tried this dish before and wow I wasted years by missing out on this! I also just discovered the Pampas Cafe in Northridge so I'm interested in trying that out, just to get a better feel of Argentine cuisine.

I'm also really excited about my 5k racing times this year! I feel like I am running 3x better than when I was at my best. The times have definitely improved and I feel that I am pretty much ready to race in my first 10k in mid-December. Nervous about it but excited to upgrade and try something new.


Do one thing a day that scares you.
