Hello all! Yes, I have been gone, and yes, the entire 100 views of this blog probably felt a gaping void in their lives, but never fear. I have returned! There have been many reasons for my absences, chiefly:
- I have graduated college! I now have three degrees: International Diplomacy, East Asian Studies, and Chinese. Hard work = paid off!
- I moved back from Ohio to Minnesota. Not hatin' on Ohio, but Minneapolis is much more my speed. As in it's actually speedy and, well, large.
- I have two (for awhile it was three) jobs, one big kid and one part time. I have a part time job at Starbucks and a full time job as the International Student Program Coordinator at a private high school. Basically it means I am creating an International Department while I am operating it. Super fun but super stressful!
I also feel it is time to return to blogging because:
- Blogging makes me try new things! I have been cooped up for so long (and by cooped up, I mean working 12+ hours a day) that I feel I have no life. Feeling obligated to actually do something will make me actually do it.
- I need a creative outlet. While my big kid job certainly fulfills the logical side of my brain (fulfills... makes explode, eh, same thing), I need some beauty and fun in my life!
- My goal for this blog is to help me meet more people and perhaps get involved in actual things and meet more people. That might mean you!
I look forward to actually having this in my life again (and actually finishing the layout...)! I already have some great ideas and I'll definitely be seeing you all soon!
