Guess I'm doing fine


I'm doing well. It's almost been two months now since I left Peru. I still miss the country and people like crazy. School is keeping me busy and so are my weekend activities. Joined The Environmental Coalition at Tech and I've been enjoying the annual weekly meetings on Tuesdays. It's nice to be involved with something that is trying to make a positive impact on campus, our town, the country, the world. I don't have a job right now but I am working Tech football games that has been a bust one weekend and amazing this past game. Made over 180 dollars in three hours. Not too shabby if I do say so myself. Well, october is approaching here really quickly and I have a couple awesome things to be looking forward to! Fall Break, two concerts, and some important birthdays! Woohoo! I get to see one of my future husbands on October 3 at Ryman Theater in Nashville, TN! I'm so excited! This is him below......
The one and only Matt Berninger
He is the lead singer of the spectacular band The National! Saw them in April with my good pal, Aaron Larson, and it was one of the best concerts I had ever been to! I'm so P-U-M-P-E-D to see them! I'll be going down to MTSU (Murfreesboro, TN) Friday early afternoon and will reconnecting with some old friends through-out the weekend! One of these may be one of the volunteers who lived with me in Peru...actually she was my roommate four 6 weeks! I'm sooooo excited! Then a couple weeks later my best friend and I will be going to see THE AVETT BROTHERS in Roanoke on October 22! Two of my favorite bands in two months! WOOHOO! I'm not exactly sure what I'm doing when I'm on break, which is October 13-17 but I have a little while to decide. I may make a trip to Richmond to visit some pals or just stay here and get ahead in school... I'm trying to get into the habit of running and I have realized that in high school I had it so easy when it came to staying in shape due to always playing a sport! Even during the winter break when I didn't do anything it wasn't that hard to get back into shape for the spring. So I'm working on getting motivated to run more often. I'm also trying to have time to read books that I have neglected on my book shelf. I just recently bought The Motorcycle Dairies which is a book about 23 year old Ernesto "Che" Guevara's journey through South America. I'm really excited to read a the words and thoughts of a great man. Well I got to get to class but I suppose when I'm done reading it I'll blog more about it!
