That's a Sign for the La Quinta, You Know

Listening to: Crazy Heart play over and over in my head

Day #27:

"A picture of you last year and now and how have you changed since then?"

Spring Break 2010

I know, spring is officially a few months off yet, but this was a very good time for me.  I had just finished a production at my old college, made a truck load of fun new friends, and, as seen in this picture, was traveling to Salt Lake City to check out prospective schools at which to finish my bachelor's.  This might be the best spring break ever- a nice long road trip with my mom and sister culminating in seeing a sweet school and even sweeter people (this happens to be the last time I have hugged Soul Mate).

 Christmas break at Jolt and Juice Company World Headquarters

Here are a few things that have changed:

My hair is longer and browner.  Jolts is bigger and better.  It says C of I on my uniform.

Yep, I didn't end up going to SLC after all, though then I could have sworn that's where I was going to be.  I think I made the right decision.  

I guess the one thing I really miss about a year ago is feeling like a part of a community.  I've said it before- I get lonely here.  But, I've also grown up.  Charlotte Bronte writes in Jane Eyre. "The more solitary, the more friendless, the more unsustained I am, the more I will respect myself."  Frankly, I don't have to care what people think of me anymore, and that's a huge change from a simple year ago.
