an earthy feeling
I believe in the faith that grows
and the four right chords could make me cry

Woah. AmeriCorps has been over for 4 weeks already. A month? Yup. Exactly 4 weeks ago Class 16 of AmeriCorps NCCC Denver, Colorado campus became alum. It's also been 2 weeks since the infamous road trip with a group of crazy [using crazy as a term of endearment] guys. Even though I was counting down the days till it was over, I kind of want to go back. I told ya I would miss it. Oh well. Another chapter complete and added to my list of unforgettable memories and people who have crossed my path. Onto the next one which begins in 1 week! I'm excited to be going back to school and to explore the field of social work. Here's to the next 2 years of my life...
Alright. Now onto an update on my [post-ameri]life thus far.
As I said in my previous post right after AmeriCorps I went on a road trip. A cross country road trip. Something I've wanted to do for as long as I can remember. Another thing to check off of the bucket list! We went to places such as the following:
Yellowstone National Park (Wyoming)
Arches National Park (Utah)We also ended up in Zion National Park (Utah), Las Vegas and Reno, Yosemite National Park (California), San Fransisco, Mt. Rushmore (South Dakota), Apply Valley and the Mall of America (Minnesota), Tiffin and Cedar Point (Ohio). Then I found myself in Sterling, Virginia and Baltimore, Maryland visiting old friends for a few days before finally making back to New York.
I was home for about a week, saw some family, went to a wedding, saw some friends, then I was off to Ocean City, Maryland to spend some quality time with a group of lovely ladies, some of my best friends from college. It was a beautiful weekend.
OC, MD Summer '10That leads me to now. Back on Long Island, unwinding a bit before that thing called school begins again. Wednesday is the big orientation day. And a week from today is my first day of class. Here goes nothing!
Until next time, peace.
