So long farewell to you my friend.....
So this is my last class week as an undergraduate and it is starting to scare me a bit. Today in class was my last class with my co-hort and we had a potluck breakfast and things seem to final! I swear it feels like just like yesterday I started my journey here at Seattle University. It feels like there isn't just enough time to hang out with friends especially since soon all are families will be flying in and our time will be taken up by them. However I just started the interview process for my new internship and it really seems final that I am really leaving a place that I have started to call my home.
Below are pictures from our Senior Soiree! It was a lot of fun just having a party for seniors at Seattle Aquarium. The funny thing that even at this little shin dig I was still meeting people that I never met before and keep in mind I have been at SU since my freshmen year. ahhh...

Thursday: When visitors come in to town especially high school friends its so much fun to take them around and share with them our beautiful city! This past weekend one of my good friends high school cam into town for the weekend and we where able to show her the Seattle we know as well explore new places together as well.

April showers bring May flowers!
Hey everyone! Let me tell you Seattle has really taken me for a spin this past week! For one thing you would not believe how beautiful it has been and plus how warm toooo. I think I had the little thing called spring fever which meant I didn't want to do any work at all! This past weekend was filled of fun my friends and I where able to cross out a couple things off our list of things to do in Seattle before we all leave.
Friday: Bainbridge brunch, Outlet mall shopping
Saturday: NAMI awareness walk [which I helped organized a team for :)], Picnic at Gasworks park, Ice Cream at Molly Moon's
Sunday: HOMEWORK!
As the days are winding down I really don't want it to end.

The count down is soooo ON!
39 days till attending my friends wedding
33 days till graduation
30 days till my last final [ever] as an undergrad
2 weeks till senior presentations
8 more class days
2 months till I say goodbye Seattle
WOW. All I can really say is wow. The countdown till the end of my four years at Seattle University is coming to a close. A little bit to fast for my liking at least. I wanted to let everyone know that even after four years in college doesn't mean you know everything or that you will truly be an adult. However, the feeling of never wanting to grow up will always be there no matter how much you say you want to be an adult. I can speak from experience. This time four years ago I was actually getting ready to graduate from High School, I actually graduate Memorial day weekend. Four years ago I knew exactly where I was going, who my friends are, who I am, bust most importantly the world was at my feet. I can tell you that feeling has not changed after four years. I am graduating with a BSW [with a professional degree :)], I will be attending Graduate School in July, I know who my friends are both old and new, I know who I am, and the world is still at my feet for the taking. I still have dreams that I am chasing after. After Grad School I know I want to teach English in Korea for six months, move back to the Mainland [that is what us islanders call the continent USA], go back to Europe, secure a job in the UN working on Health related issues, and so much more. I know most of you who are reading this are current seniors getting ready to graduate as well as you High School Juniors who are starting there college search. Word of advice: Set your dreams and goals high and do what you can to make them happen. You only live once so pick the place that you know will help you grow!

Decisions, Decisions
Decisions, Decisions
Guess who got into two more graduate schools!!!! I did! So I have three schools to pick out of and with the national date to confirm which school you will be attending is nearing [May 1] oh no! I am also in your shoes future readhawks or high school seniors. Making that final decision to pick your school. I know where I want to go it is just tough to make that final decision. I am sad that this new path in my life is taking me away from my new found home in Seattle! Starting over is always hard and I am just worried and scared about what is about to come in the future. On one hand two of the schools are located back home in Hawaii while the other one is located in California. Ahhh... I need to make the decision and I know where I want to go next but I am not 100% positive if the choice is right for me. I have a few more days to make the final decision. Wish me luck!

Senioritis! Oh no!
So it is official I have Seniorities! I wish so bad to be back on my Spring Break with the girls in San Fran! <That's where the picture is from> ahhh!!! I really am pretty sure that I am at that point where most of you high school seniors are at. Where you do not want to do anything anymore and just want to graduate already! I want to graduate BUT I don't want to go into the real world yet. It is kind of Scary when I really think about it. I got into one of my grad schools of choice and now after one more year of school I will really be an adult in the work force! ahhh!!! How can I feel so young and be so young and have to soon become a full pledge adult! It is a pretty harsh reality. But hey I am taking some advice from some very wise person which I am going to enjoy every moment that I can. Take everything in as much as possible and take large leaps of faiths when it come to everything in my life. I really am going to miss Seattle to say the least when I have to leave this place that I have called home for the past four years. Don't worry I love this place so much as of right now my plan is to move back in a year *crossing fingers* Only 7 more weeks to go!
