2010

Here is a look at what 2010 held for me...

January
I moved back to school to start the second semester of my sophomore year. I was given the amazing opportunity of being an RA to 20 freshman girls. And I was blessed to bond with 11 other incredible women who have impacted my life in awesome ways.



February
My team and I went through Intensive Training Weekend in preparation for our 3 weeks in Uganda...



March
March was spent applying to nursing school and enjoying my last easy semester of college. This meant lots of Disneyland trips :)



April
This was my last month with my residents and spending every day with my staff. I passed down my hall and shared a few tears with my staff.



May
one word: AFRICA!! I spent 3 amazing weeks in Africa that completely changed my life.



Also, my baby brother graduated from high school.



June
My best friend and I went to a Dave Barnes concert. It was the start of an amazing summer.



July
Weddings. lots and lots of weddings. Holly got married, and I got to be reunited with my staff.



August
the beach!! One of the perks of living in Southern California is the beach. I grew up going to the beach all the time in the summer. and I still love it :)



and then towards the end of August, I moved back into school with my amazing roomies.

September
The chaos began. I said goodbye to having a life. I started the nursing program. And while it may be completely overwhelming some days, I usually like it :) And I've made some lovely new friends because of it.



October
I went to my first USC game! They lost. But, it's ok. Paige and I had fun. and we came away with some really interesting stories.



November
I turned 20! My friends surprised me and took me ice skating for my birthday. It was just what I needed :)



December
Finals. I officially survived my first semester of nursing school. Hallelujah. My nursing girls and I went out to celebrate.



I also found out that I get to go back to Uganda in the summer and I met my new team. And now I am on Christmas break! and it has been beyond lovely.

2010 has been a great year! and I can't wait to see how 2011 will unfold :)
