i guess when something drastic happens in your life, it's good to have something else to occupy your mind. but freakin a... don't wanna go overboard with it. now i need to try to find a third thing to get me to not think so much about the second thing. i'm so vague this is fun. =) i have no patience for time!!! and yet for other things i want time to slow down... aiya!

i'm going to guatemala this summer! got accepted into a progressive spanish language immersion program for 3 weeks in august. reading through the welcome packet i'm getting kind of scared. arrive and travel via public transportation within guatemala on my own. i've never been to a foreign country entirely on my own before. i'm actually kinda scared. and apparently i have to get hella vaccinations and whatnot too. is $500 a good price for roundtrip to/from guatemala?

i also found out last week that i was accepted into the UCLA writing project invitational for teachers! only 20 fellowships were offered, and they liked me!! so deja vu, as i walked into the very same room as i did when i applied to the ucla teacher ed program 4 years back. and just as 4 years ago, i also walked in 15 minutes late. it's gonna be an intense program, m-f all day for all of july. O_O i'm game, bring it! i'm excited to see what this summer will bring.

don't tell my parents but...i'm considering moving out, and i've got my eyes set on k-town! my roomie? tep buddy, liz! went apt shopping around USC area last weekend and, well, not too pleased. k-town, though, looks very promising (parking being the only issue)! as u can see, i have lotsa new things to look forward to! onward, janet, adelante!
