Wow. I completely forgot I had this thing! How many years has it been? It took me 5 tries to remember what my password was haha. Here is a little update on my life...for those few who actually still read this.

Currently in my 4th and hopefully last year of college at the University of San Francisco. It has been absolutly amazing. I never thought I'd attend school so close to home and enjoy it. I think its the city life that I have grown to love. Everything is so fast paced and exciting. I'm not sure how I would be liek today if I had attended Santa Clara University (fuck the broncos!).

Since I have moved to San Francisco, a lot has changed about me. I learned about what I love to do and where I want to go in life. Sophomore year, I took an internship with the Golden State Warriors, not knowing waht to expect. I found that it was immensly exciting to be working in an environment that very little people knew about. I now have learned that I definitly want to go into the sports management field! Since taking the internship, I have continued working with the Warriors. This past year, I starrted working with the University of San Francisco Athletic Department. That has definitly opened my eyes. Although I was already president of the student section group Los Locos (the students that go to the games and such) for 3 years, I had no idea how much went on int he background.

OK enough about that. Letsee what else is goign on in life haha. I just returned from a summer culinary program in Florence, Italy where we focused on Traditional Italian cuisine and wine. The experience was ABSOLUTELY AMAZING. Although it was pretty expensive to pay for the program, it was definitly worth it. We used incredible ingredients each day, including huge truffles! Those who dont knwo what that is...its a rare funghi that can only be found with trained pigs and dogs. A good truffle can come to cost nearly $1000! I had intensive class from 9am-5pm Monday to Thursday. On weekends, I was able to travel to Rome, Pisa, Viareggio (beach town in Italy), London, and the Tuscan Hills (wine tasting!). Towards the final part of my program, my mother and brother met me up in Florence. After the program ended, we traveled to Venice (which is ridiculously expensive wtf), Versailles, and Paris. and I LOVE PARIS! I wish I had more than 2 days there. Don't worry, I'll be back Paris!!!!!

Now I'm back in SF doign summer school so taht I can HOPEFULLY graduate on time haha. I gotta take Acting for Non-Majors in order to fulfill my Visual and Performing Arts req. So stupid. But it is defintly a fun class.

Ok now on to love life! Haha Yeah probably the more interesting part of this entry . Well I am currently dating this guy who is from Prague. His name is Tomas and he is hilarious! Oh and did I mention he's 7 feet tall? Yes you read that right...7 freakin feet tall! It's so funny because I am only 5'6. I love it becuase I'm able to wear heels around him haha. Though he's so tall, he is such a goofball and nerd hehe. He introduced me to this show called "The Big Bang Theory" which MIGHT I ADD is pretty much the nerdiest show I have ever seeen (google it haha). Its funny...everywhere we go, people always make comments on how tall he is hhaha. I guess I should get used to it

Okay I'm getting pretty bored of writing this since I pretty mcuh wrote the Bible haha. I hope everyone who is still on this thing is doing well and doin what you love.

Ciao!
