The BigInning

I'm starting this blog so that my family and close friends can stay updated on my new life in San Francisco. I mst admit I'm not a fan of blogging- it just seems a little concieted...like HEY everyone be interested in me right now! But still I feel like there are a lot of people I want to keep updated and keep close to me in my life and I figured I'd kill all you birds with this one stone.

So as most of you know I have begun my second semester here at USF. The first semester was pretty rocky. Leaving my family, my friends and all my roots in yakima was really hard. For a long time I was afraid I had picked the wrong school. But I was over-reactng...this school is wonderful. It took me a while to acclimate to the people down here. But it's a great city, the best, and the people follow suit...you just have to give it time.

I'm playing rugby trying to get a girls team going, which is much harder than i anticipated. The mens team lets whatever girls show up to practice with them and learn the game, but usually its just me and another girl Lindsey who show up. But the game is amazing and I love learning the new sport.

As far as classes, I'm in the great books program here called St Ignatius Institute (SII). Basically I spend the majority of my time with dead men and their thoughts. I don't mind though, the classes are interesting and the professors, for the most part, are great.

I'm working as a front desk assistant in the office of business and finance on campus and am...getting by. What I AM learning is that I'm not programed for a desk joband am NOT interested in a business or finance major. So that's a learning experience in itself.

more to come, much love
