It's been awhile...
This weekend was busy busy busy-- at conferences all week.. Meeting a lot of great people from all over the world. I hope to travel the world one day... make and impact on people's lives-- and make an impact on my life. I hope to feel like I made a difference in the world-- I was alive and not just living. I want to give purpose to my existence, and I want to feel alive. I want to embrace in cultures -- learn from them, interact with them, and share the beauty of their cultures with the beauty of others.
I've begun to look at life a lot differently lately. I see it as more than just me, education, and a career... I see it as a world of opportunities that most of us pass by because we stick to the plan layed out for us. I want to do something different, I want to understand the world, and I want to show compassion to others.
This world has so much potential because the people in it are capable of soaring to new heights. Leave your comfort zone, engage in the world, see what you can do to help. Find meaning in your life.
I cant' wait to see the world and share my stories and aspirations with everyone else.

Taken Back...
I was sitting in my office at work, listening to Pandora, Howie Day's "Collide" began to play. From the first sounds of the chords on the guitar, my throat dropped into my stomach and I felt nauseous. I was overtaken with emotion, as this is the one song that makes my heart hurt. It takes me back to a place when I was happier than I ever thought possible, and everything is so much different now -- that when I hear this song, I am overtaken by an overwhelming feeling of grieving and pleading for the past.
I can remember the first time I heard that song, actually I probably will never forget this moment because for some reason, this song captured my attention more than any song I've ever heard for the first time. I was completely in love at this point in my life, being in my first successful and true relationship. I might also love this song because of my infatuation for guys and guitars, but that's besides the point-- the emotion and truth in this song is breathtaking. The first time I heard this song -- I was sitting on a bench at Vernon Square Cinema waiting for the final showings for the night to get out so that I could close up and go home for the night. I heard the song on the radio, and the entire world was silent as I was surrounded by only this song and my complete and utter happiness -- such happiness that I envy now, because I haven't even been able to reach half of that happiness since I came to college.
I associate my feelings with songs, and there are a variety of songs that when I hear them, I am instantly taken back to a certain point of my life and I am bombarded with emotions. I often see myself as a music junky, not in the sense that I love all kinds of music or know every song and artist, but a music junky in a sense that I analyze music and have an emotional connection to it. If I find a song I like, I look up the lyrics and analyze them. Finding meaning and emotions in songs is something I love to do, and will continue to do for the rest of my life. Some songs bring feelings of happiness, some complete and utter sadness -- but they all bring back memories, those of which I will hold dearly for better or for worse.
As much as this song hurts me, it also soothes me. It's a song that I hold dearly. Yes it may have been overplayed on the radio, and some may find it lame -- but I have a love-hate relationship with it. No matter how much I don't want to listen to it, I love it. As much as it hurts me to listen to it now, it does remind me that I can be happy and I was once so happy that nothing could faze me. This song reminds me of this everytime I hear it, and it reminds me that I am capable of being as happy as I once was. One day, Someday, Maybe.
Thanks Howie Day.

Thoughts on American Idol
I love American Idol, I have to admit.
I have a obsession with it. My favorite performance of all time was David Cook's 'Always Be My Baby'. (I'm very excited to see David Cook perform on campus tonight!)
This year, Danny Gokey better win, and with all the airtime he is getting, he will defintely be in the top 2. Check out his performance last night with 'Hero' by Mariah Carey. Phenomenal.
Until later... peace!
Good Morning!
Good morning!
For some reason when I woke up this morning, I had these lyrics in my head ... "It's a new dawn, it's a new day..." It was repeating over and over in my head. It feels like a fresh start -- and I love it.
Today will be busy -- definitely. I have class until noon, internship until 4, study for my exam, David Cook concert, and study for my exam again.
ROKS conference this weekend... I'm never going to be able to catch up on sleep.
At least it's Spring Break in 24 days. WHOO!

Busy life!
Busy day today... actually busy day everyday. I don't think I've caught up on sleep since I came to college -- but then I think, would I really want it any other way? You only live once, right?
We sleep when we're dead.
Here's today's schedule!
Class 8-9:15
Internship 9:45-1
Class 2-3:15
Class 3:30-4:45
Project 5-7
AIESEC 7-10ish
Study for my Exam...
Then finally, Sleep
Is it spring yet? I'm quite interested to see how un-motivated I become when the warm temperatures start coming... It feels like it's been winter for months -- oh wait, it has.
Oh well, Florida in 24 days! Whoo spring break! I'll add in a picture of Daytona Beach to keep me going. Enjoy!
