Trying to keep this blog updated is hard to do. I do find it challenging to keep it recent... my apologies. So in somewhat of a brief fashion... I'll bring you up to speed with what has been going on.

Spring break was a lot of fun... Started off rough but all turned out well. My road-tripping partners hit the road at 6:30 AM and it had already started snowing... the weather the whole drive to California was interesting to say the least. Thought we were going to be blown off the road at some points. But we made it through... obviously. While in California we did the whole southern cal experience... Hit up Hollywood and actually got to see all of the set up for the Academy Awards. It was so awesome to see the whole set up and actually get to step on the read carpet! It was covered but I still walked on a part of it. Drove around looking for celebrity's houses and saw the sunset at Santa Monica beach... Beautiful.

Getting to Vegas was fun! We had an awesome view of the Bellagio fountain... No I didn't end up swimming in it or any other fountain. I behaved. It was fun walking around seeing all of the different shops and casinos. I want to go back!

Spring break came so early. Seems like other schools are on it now or had it at least 2 weeks after we did. Our break came at a good time I feel but was just a tease... I'm so ready for summer. I've enjoyed my time here Denver, but I haven't developed a deep connection with you. Its been fun here but I miss a lot of things about home. Classes are still fun and challenging but I'm ready for classes to be over! I am counting down till the end of May. Last day of classes is on the 19th then I'm loading up my car and a u-haul and trekking back East to the South.

I found out just before my spring break that I got the internship that I wanted... I'm heading to Yssingeaux, France to attend a school there in the fall. The school is called Ecole Nationale Supérieure de la Pâtisserie, or for short... ENSP. I cannot wait to get over there and get that started. Getting this chance to live and learn internationally is unreal! Who knows, I might even stay over there! Then I might come back and move to Austin, TX. Who knows...

Right now, my countdown is to Easter weekend... I'm getting to fly home and see my family and friends. My parents came out here to visit me last weekend and I had such a good time! Got to go fly fishing with my dad one day, shopping with my mom, and then just getting to hang out with them was such a great refresher. The last time I saw them was New Years... Long time. I'm obviously a big family person. Only 8 weeks left till I'm back in the South for summer! so ready to be there!

Now I have to get to work and studying. Have to finish a project for class and do homework for another. So cheers for now... Oh and for those of you who do still read this... I'll be starting a different blog soon about my preparations and adventures of going and living in France. Be on the lookout!
