just something new...

It’s been awhile since I updated. Sooo here’s a recap of what’s been going on:

-I’m enjoying my summer thus far, I needed and wanted this time to relax and spend time with the people I care most before I start something new.

-I did a lot of self reflection this summer—I realized I need to start taking action...i mean I have many goals that I want to accomplish, but some are forgotten along the way and I cant get to all of them. And I need to stop half ass--ing everything!

-Been meeting and talking to a lot of new people who will be a big part of my life in the next few years.

- This summer I discovered that I’m so privileged to have all these amazing people who truly cares about me, support me and accept me for who I am.

-I’m just really excited about what’s ahead of me right now and cant wait til the next chapter starts.

*I’ve decided that im not going to be writing in this xanga anymore. I’ve been writing in this particular xanga since the last few weeks of my senior year in high school and now it’s the end of my undergraduate career. Im still the same person, but I want to start something new. Maybe I will start a new xanga or maybe I wont…I haven’t made up my mind yet.

BUT for now…bye bye.

Dear Friend,

You said I have some sort of disorder because apparently, “I push guys away.”

In my defense, no I do not! Btw, do I even have guys to push away? Hahah. But anyways it isn’t true at all, I repeat, “I do NOT push guys away.” Many of my friends already know that I can be rather “picky,” but I mean you can’t just fall for anyone right? I believe that everyone has someone that they are compatible with. Some people have different needs and wants, so they have to try to eliminate those who don’t fit with them. Or at least they can try to find someone that can fulfill most of their criterion. As for me, luck hasn’t been on my side with men. So again, in my defense…i haven’t found the guy that really suits me. BUT I am open to finding him. And for the time being, I’m not really looking. Thank you very much! I know it will happen when I least expected, so that’s fine with me. I dont mind and like a surprise haha.

Kindness regards,

Lay

I can’t believe it’s all OVER…

THREE YEARS OF CRIMINOLOGY OUTREACH PROGRAM (C.O.P)

When I woke up this morning, it didn’t feel like it would be my last Friday to see my students or the other mentors/interns that I work with. It didn’t hit me until the ride back home that I may never step a foot back there, or if I did, the same students wouldn’t be there again. I normally don’t have these strange feelings right after each ending year, but I guess this year is my turning point. I feel really sad saying this, but I will no longer be apart of the program and will be starting a new chapter in my life. But no matter what, I’ll be a “C.O.P.” for life! I especially loved the students that I worked with, I learned a lot from them and they have made such an impact in my life. These experiences have been so rewarding that I choose to pursue a career in similar capacities. I definitely hope that one day I will get to experience this great feeling once again.

I will post pics later of everything that I’ve accumulated.

Come to think of it, it’s not really over yet. I mean, I get to have lunch with the other mentors/interns this coming Tues and there’s another event that I will be going to with Sarahi to meet the other interns that work for other schools within the program. Soo I guess it’s not entirely over, but I just wont get to see my students anymore =(  The saying goes, “sometimes all good things must one day come to an end right?” I guess it’s time to finally move on. But this experience will always become a part of me and it’s something that no one can ever take away from me!

As for updates, I will try my best to update more often through out the months because it’s going to be quite a ride to the finish line (in a gooooooood wayyy! As in exciting). I can’t wait. I look forward to it all.
