Summer Update

Wow how long it has been...First of all does everyone like the new layout? Secondly I would like to apologize for the lack of posts over the summer; I've just been so busy. I guess I'll back track a bit and start with when I came home in May. I started with two summer classes, both Government classes taught by Professor Conley. One was an Introduction to American Democracy (GOVT 110) which was a nice transition into the Government track that I have been looking into. Then I also took a Research Methodology class (GOVT 120) where we would look into various surveys and then we would analyze all of the data relating it to current situations. Any who the two classes were incredible and I recommend anyone to take them. While the classes were going on I was working as usual for the summer months to save some money for the school year. I was able to spend some time visiting with friends but considering that I was only home for 3 months, I feel as if it flew by. I also took a weeklong trip to Los Angeles, California with two friends of mine. While there, we explored Hollywood and the Greater Los Angeles area. We had an incredible time and considering that I had never been on the west coast I was able to swim in the Pacific Ocean which was so nice, considering how much I travel. after that I was home for a while and worked a bunch more, then I went to New York City with some other friends, which is something that I try to do every time I am home, considering how close I live to the city, a mere 4 hour bus ride. New York was amazing as well my friends and I saw two different musicals...Next to Normal and Shrek the Musical. Both of them were up for different areas in the Tony Awards and ended up to be two of the greatest musicals I've ever seen. After New York I just work a bit more at home and tried to spend some time with my family before I needed to head out again. My family and I ended up going to Maine for a few days to relax on the beach and then when I got home I packed up all of my things and traveled over to Ireland to visit with another friend of mine on the way to Spain. I am currently in Ireland on my way to Madrid because I will need to start the preparations for Orientation this upcoming Tuesday. That's all I have for you guys now, but be sure to keep checking back as I will be updating on a regular schedule from now on.

¡Hasta Luego!
