A candle loses nothing by lighting another candle

So I have this book called "8,789 Words of Wisdom" and I feel like sharing some quotes:)

• "Make a difference in life."
• "As you walk, look for miracles along the way."
• "When you are in a hole, stop digging."
• "When you are upset, tired, or stressed, stay away from the fridge!"

haha.
Quoting the author: "only YOU can bring wisdom to yourself".
Goodnight world!
-Amy

"Natures first green is gold..."

Beautiful!

Walking in Georgetown at dusk.

"I'm just a bill.
Yes, I'm only a bill.
And I'm sitting here on Capitol Hill."

Egg drop experiment for class.

Charm City Cakes (Ace of Cakes) built/baked this cake for the school!
*It was taken after the cake was cut.

Repelling off the school's library. 80 feet of fun?
This was not my "challenge" zone.
This was more like my "panic" zone.

Hundreds of thousands of people gathered for a protest.
My bad. Wrong timing to visit the monuments...

Que cosa?

College = audhjschv hjbcsabxj

Classes are interesting but hard (in my opinion), and everything else is sweet. :]
I have to say that my first day here, I was having cold feet asking myself if I chose the right school. That all changed after I attended Welcome Week. I love this school. So AMAZING.

My problem right now is time managing. I know, that is a pretty common advice most people hear of, but seriously, it is so difficult. Debating whether I should hang out with my friends, study, see my adviser, and/or go to a campus event has been a big dilemma for me.

For future college students: When times seem unfair, remember that you will be paying tuition for your education. Classes (studying) comes first.

Two Is Better Than One

Career wise.

Two weeks and two days until classes start. I am planning ahead....

1. Finish school with 100% work ethic
2. Go to space
3. Attend culinary school
   
4. Work as a pastry chef
5. Move to the mountains and raise llamas
   

Someday? :]


I packed my stuff (again). Destination: campus. woo
*Ignore the messy hair

HAPPY FRIDAY!

Explanation

Moving away hit me like a ton of (yellow??) bricks.
The moment my mom drove away, while I stood on the sidewalk, I took awareness of my surroundings.
My permanent home, at least for the school year. weirddddddd.



Maybe for some, going to college is not so drastic. It all depends on the circumstances.
Knowing that I am now responsible for my school tuition and any living needs, I realized that I need to make wise choices.

Life is not easy. The challenges can only make us fonder and aware of what we do have. As I continue my route towards a good education, I will continue to pray to grow my faith with God and take my roots everywhere I go.

This is a reminder to me as the writer, and to those who read this that sometimes we forget what we learned and have. It is hard to stay grounded, but not impossible. Thank goodness.


I want to thank the people that showed me the meaning of friendship. The ones who cheered me up when I was down, spontaneously greeted me with treats, gave me words of wisdom, and led me towards becoming a better Christian. My role models and my childhood friends.

(Picture above: A scrapbook with letters from friends.)
After the move, this "book" has helped me overcome home sickness.

*Side note: My cell phone (LG NV2) expired. :( Goodbye, awesome camera taker phone.

New Start

So sorry. I did not expect to be gone for that long.

I am now in a new state about to start the next chapter of my life. It is so different.

My response to all of this is:

AHHHHHHHHHH

Bueno y malo.

I would like to go into detail, but at the moment I do not have any internet access where I am staying and disappointingly enough, I have to go right now.

More explaining coming soon. :)
