"Life is either a daring adventure or nothing." -- Helen Keller

I haven't updated in quite a while and a lot has happened since my last posting.  My plans have changed and I will not be interning in China this summer. BUT I think I am going to Russia for a 10 day study abroad trip!  How's that for a new experience?? At the end of May, a professor will be taking a group of students to tour Moscow and St. Petersburg and I will be receiving school credit! As the semester is coming to an end, I desperately needed something to look forward to since my trip to China has been canceled. I have always wanted to learn Russian and now I think I finally will have an opportunity to!

On another note, this is Easter weekend and I surprised my parents and came home for the holiday.  I left all my school books and homework in Starkville because it will still be there when I go back.

Anyways, this trip to Russia will be coming fast and soon. We're talking like 5 weeks.  So things will be moving pretty quickly for that.  ALSO on more important news, 13 days and 10 minutes from right this very moment I will be turing 21 years old. That's less than 2 weeks.......... updates to come later!

it is a change that goes on,

deep and permanent,

in the ideas of living"
