I have been keeping up with my reading (for the most part!) and I face my first quiz on monday. We’ll see how it goes.

Well I’m back in school which means I have a free gym at my disposal. But I really hate going there because there are always so many people in there and the athletes hog all the machines. I feel so stupid next to these scrawny, superbuff girls. And its intimidating being around the football players. I miss my old gym where it was me and a bunch of retired women.

I’m back in school and I’ve actually put forth some effort into this goal! I’m a teaching assistant for our ballroom1 program at the college which means everyday I go to the class and help people learn the steps (and I get to dance a little too myself!). It’s really great because I Feel like I’m actually contributing something to someone. The instructors are actually looking into creating a ballroom3 course which would focus on performance dancing specifically (which I would LOVE to do) but it probably won’t be in place until well after I graduated. However I did find out that the owner of Aurthur Murray international actually is an alum of my school. Perhaps there’s hope yet!
Until then, I’ll settle for being a paid assistant on the basic level!

So I’ve definitely decided that as much as I love the experience, I am going to wait until a significant moment in my life. I may be moving to Chicago upon graduation, which would be absolutely huge for me, as I have never left western Pa aside from the family vacation.
As for an image, I’m still thinking about a hibiscus flower, or maybe even a lily (after my grandma)...
I also think that I may have my boyfriend design it, as he is a studio art minor and does simply incredible work. And yes I know, don’t get anything to remind you of a boyfriend/girlfriend unless you’re sure about that person… blahblahblah…. I’m pretty serious about him, but I plan on waiting a while for the ink anyway, so that’ll give me time to find out if this relationship is going where I think it is! :-D

Unfortunately, all I really have is Lake Erie, and it can be somewhat scummy. Nonetheless, it is beach-like and will have to suffice until I can move somewhere a little more appropriate for me :)

I hope to get in one more beach-esque venture before classes start in a couple weeks.

i’ve loved it every year i’ve gone! expect to spend a lot of money on beer and food, but there’s nothing better than running from stage to stage to hear a ton of great music!

Best experience ever if you’re going tropical, but don’t want to spend all your time in one area. Plus, you always have a place to eat, and you can book tours and such right through the cruiseline. Last year my family went Royal Carribean, but the year before we did the sister company Celebrity. You really do get treated like a celebrity on this line, and if I ever get the chance to go again, I’m definitely doing Celebrity. Incredible food, wonderful atmosphere, beautiful islands!

I did this at a very touristy place. We basically swam around and the dolphins did tricks and posed by us. I wish it were more like you see at Seaworld, but hey, I can say I did it.

Everyone in my family knows how to drive one but me.
I just think it would be a good think to know.

I love my tattoo! I loved the experience (mine’s on my back so that pain wasn’t that bad) and I had the perfect design to suit me (a tribal looking palm tree)! I only recommend this for people who are sure of what tattoo they want so it had more meaning for them.
If you live anywhere near Erie, PA, USA…. I highly recomment Buddha’s… they are THE BEST!! :)

I would love to go to Africa on a photography safari. I always wanted to photograph wild animals and I think this would be the experience of a lifetime! Now I just need to invest in a telephoto lens!

I’m an SLR person, but I love my new nikon digital, and I love messing around with pictures on the computer.
I messed with the colors and such on this one.
(Thanks honey for letting me use you as a subject <3)

My family is fairly young on US soil. My greatgrandparents came from europe (hungary, slovakia, ireland) so I’m curious to know what towns and types of people I really decend from!

I went to a small zoo and petting zoo once called Living Treasures Animal park near Butler, PA. They just had baby tiger cubs and kept them separate from the adults. They put them in this cage that was actually the old giant turtle cage with bars about 3 inches apart. The only thing separating me from the cage was a knee high fence, so I glanced around, hopped it, and pet the cub that was lying on his back against the bars!

I recently went back there and saw the same two cubs all grown up! It was exciting to think I had pet those same tigers!

I have always wanted to get married on a beach. I always believed that there is nothing more spiritual than nature, and I think beach is one of the greatest epitomes of such.
In addition, someone once told me that if the man I plan on marrying gives me anything less than my dream beach wedding, he’s not worth it! ;) I will always keep that in mind!

I have done a little bit of modeling… fashion shows and even one print ad for American Outpost (kind of a rip off of AE). But it really interests me how humans can be turned into works of art, and I am more curious about that. I love photography in general. Regardless, I would love to just do small print things if I could.

I want to get another tattoo, probably on my hip. But I hope to wait until I visit/move somewhere new so it will have a lot more meaning. I’m also waiting until I can come up with a design that truly inspires me, and it will no doubt be something tropical.

I want to move in about 9 months, so I really need to start saving. I have a job with the school that will give me enough money to live on during the year, but I will probably need another job so I can start saving well.

I never throw anything away. Especially papers and things from classes. Hopefully this year, I’ll throw out all the crap and be less bogged down when I move again.

I want to learn some real recipes. I’ve always admired people who cook from scratch, and now that I have my very own kitchen, I want to be one of those people!
