Lately life has been dealing me the best cards. I can't complain. I have great roomates. Great friends. If it weren't for these people left here with me in this place we call Hell aka Cleveland, I would be lonely and depressed most likely. These are people I will never forget the people I am going to finish out school with.....

Winter break wasn't to shabby either. I worked at Bakers Crust while I was home. Made enough money to get books, art supplies, and a little back to school shopping at H&M! I hung out with kells a lot while i was home she is wonderful and the best friend anyone could ask for. Bluntly honest to the point where it scares me she knows me better than anyone i think. And haley you are not to far behind from her (you know a lot too!) ..... I caught up with a lot of old friends it was good to see some more than others. People change we've grown up. Yet somehow it is always comforting to know that these people are truly great and have shaped me and been through some of the worst parts in my life...(HIGHSCHOOL). My heart aches for home, Richmond is never far from my thoughts. I love you guys.

Family was great as they always are.. it was hard to see my grandpa he is starting to forget who I am and it breaks my heart. I went to my other grandfathers grave while I was home I havnt' been since I graduated highschool. It was good to tell him the things going on in my life it may sound strange but I think it was theraputic he had the most influence on me more than my parents or brothers as a young child.

Dr's appointments....well they were good I guess the best they can be. I go back for another one over easter break. A little nerve wrecking, it will be ok though.

And then May 3rd my older brother Michael is getting married to Tammy. That is a saturday I go back that Sunday to start summer classes where all of May, Haley and I will be suffering through a years worth of Spanish all crammed into 1 month. SUPER SUMMER SPANISH SESSION! haha. After that the month of June I will be traveling back to Brasil after 4 years. I will go see Denilson my brasilian brother as well as friends and the orphanage to visit with the kids there. And play lots of soccer where I will most likely get whooped by 5 year olds in flip flops AGAIN.

July and August I plan to be in Richmond and then travel a bit. Perhaps new york, maryland to see abby, DC, etc. Life is good right now working hard to get another 3.0 this semester. My classes are as follows; oil painting, art history 2, ballet, communication in society, and spanish.
