Wow, where does time go? Almost three months have passed by since my last post, and quite a few things have happened, well at the beginning anyway.. I still have to update on Italy.. quick summary, pretty much amazing.. and my two weeks I spent in Germany! If I ever write just one more blog post, it'll be about Germany.. WAY too many great and amazing stories from that country to not share.
America, on the other hand, hasn't been so entertaining. Don't get me wrong.. I am SO very glad to be home where things are familiar and to be around family and friends again, but going from backpacking across Europe to having no summer job and not a whole lot to do has been a more difficult transistion than packing everything up and moving to Wales for four months. A few years ago, I would have been nothing short of excited to have a summer off and have all kinds of time to myself, but I'm not gonna lie, it's not been a real eventful summer.
However, on the bright side, I have had time to do a little bit of reading (I'm just about to finish "The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo, it's brilliant; I'd suggest it) and I've even started studying and reviewing what I've learned throughout the years in Psychology, which is lame, I know, but I'm hoping it will help later this semester.
And then there's my attempt at planning the rest of my life. Yikes. I'm about 95% sure that I won't be going to school to further my studies in Psychology. Instead, I want to try and find a job right after graduation, working outdoors. I'd eventually like to receive my Master's in Outdoor Education, however, in order to do so, I first have to have loads of experience in several different outdoor activities. And so I've been doing a little research and I've found that not only do Utah and Colorado both have amazing venues for hiking, rock climbing, etc etc, but they are also ranked in the top, economical states to live, not to mention, absolutely breathtaking. And yes, my mind will most likely change again here in the next few weeks, but as of right now, that's the plan and I couldn't be more pumped!
Annnnnd I think that's it for the updates! I'll try to keep up with the posts, but I can't promise anything, especially after school starts up and I'll actually be busy once again!
But until next time..
