when i finally got to paris, i was excited to get to get up the tower. it took a long time to wait in line…we brought some food and wines to have while we waited…but our timing couldnt have been any more perfect. When we finally got to the top level, the sun had just began to set. The view was incredible and the sunset was one of the best of my life.

How I did it: I waited a number of years to finally get to Europe on a family trip (lucky my mother is a travel agent!) France was our last stop, but one I made sure we did. We took the Eurostar to Paris from London, ate at a nice tiny bakery and then headed to see the Tower. We waited for a number of hours, we were there in July, right before Bastille day so we got there about 7 or 8 at night, waited in line for a good amount of time, and started the … Read how I did it…
How I did it: After 4 years in undergrad school with a PC DESKTOP when all I ever wanted was a laptop, let alone a mac...I worked 50 hour weeks all summer, and regular fulltime since then to save up for not only my new macbook, but for my first graduate class. Read how I did it…
the night i graduated high school, me and a bunch of friends hiked a mountain, made a fire, and slept on some rocks on a cliffside. Even though we got rained on, were soaked, and cold…it was the perfect way to celebrate graduation. even 5 years later it still was one of those moments in life that feels like it should have been in a movie :)
i had initially wanted to go strait to grad school since finding work in what i really want to do is difficult with just a B.A. but life takes hold of you sometimes and my grades took a back seat to what was going on with me. now my own goals are suffering since the graduate schools i want and need to attend require a little more than i can give. I’d like to achieve this before my GRE scores expire because i would like to avoid those tests at all costs. :)
i’m going to start with some online classes as non-matriculated students. it seems to be the only way to start. I tend to like immediacy…so this is not going well for me. haha
