I've had a really nice time, but my dogs need to be fed

So this update is beyond several days late, slightly pathetic and I apologize. I am now officially a Boston University undergraduate student. Sweet! It's an awesome feeling and I feel quite accomplished. This has been a very long two year goal and I'm very thankful I've finally made it. I've thoroughly enjoyed the adventures, the ups and downs, the moments of doubt, all in all, incredibly rewarding. I'm looking forward to the multitude of doors that should be opening for me. 

With this change, I feel my chapter as a Trader Joe's employee will be closing within the next couple of months. I am completely grateful for the memories, learning experiences, and wonderful friendships I have developed there, but at this point, I feel like it is the right time to move on. I will be looking for employment on the BU campus, preferably something in the Arts and Sciences school, within the International Relations department. As well, there should be a good amount of internships opening for me, and oppertunities to grow elsewhere. 

I'm beginning to also feel like Boston is home. I still am in the habit of referring to California as home, and in a way it always will be, but I like to think that my heart will grow more for this city and begin to recognize it as home. I think the one thing holding this growth back is the lack of relationships out here. This is in no way a complaint for a lack of friendships, more it simply is something I understand comes with time. 

My neighbors are crazy Russians, they yell a lot in Russian, at times entertaining, and at times a little sad because I've never once desired to live a life where I was constantly that angry.
