Hey

I just finished up my sophomore year here at the wonderful UWM. After spending almost a whole weekend on 12 page paper in Spanish for class, and studying for an incredibly hard exam in the same class, I realized I still had 2 finals left and was not yet done with school. So, struggling to keep focus I finished finals hoping that I am going to get good grades on them. Never again am I going to wait til the weekend before a huge paper is due to start it. Lesson Learned.

So with the school year coming to an end, I can actually relax this summer. I mean before leaving for Chile because I'm not taking a summer class, and am only working at the lovely McDonald's that has employed me for almost 4 years. I can say I hate that place and everything about it, but that would be a lie. I've learned a lot from that place over the years, like how to burn yourself nice and proper.. just kidding, although I have learned how to properly care for burns. (to take the sting away just slap a pickle on it, it really works!). I've met some great friends and people, I've learned how to deal with difficult people and what it means to stand on your feel for 8 hours.

Since not much is going to happen in my life until I do leave for Santiago, I have decided to make a Summer To Do List:
1. hang out with people/ Get Starbucks with the peeps
2. Go to madison a few times to see Doug and others out there
3.I guess, I can make my way up to Oshkosh to see Allie.
4. Finish the Buffy t.v show
5. Finish the quilt i started last summer
6. Start/finish another one...
7. Not go crazy by working at Mcd.

11. Road trip to some random destination
12. Cook out at the beach!
13. Maybe make my way back up to Milwaukee at some point
