Snippets of a Glorious Week
March 20th, 2010 | Categories: Friends, Life, School, Travel, Work | 10 CommentsMy thoughts are all over the place at the moment, so I’m going to settle with bullet points for this entry.
- It has been 70F without a cloud in the sky all week
I have been spending every moment possible outdoors, soaking up the sun. I appreciate this weather so much more after the Snowpocalypse and Snowmageddon. It makes having to stay inside and do work that much harder! - I got accepted to study abroad in Beijing next year
I got my acceptance letter yesterday! I’m going to be in Beijing next school year, baby! Words cannot describe how excited I am for this opportunity of a lifetime. Can it be September already? - Mission Detoxify is going superbly
There’s been some drama among my circle of friends this week, but none of it involves me, either directly or indirectly. Plus, I encountered someone on my list of people to cut out from my life in an effort to rid myself of negatives and I am very proud of the way I handled myself in that situation. I did my best to keep it classy and I definitely succeeded. - I did well on my midterm papers and exams
This week, I received all of the exams and papers I worked so hard on prior to spring break. I am very pleased with all of my grades; all I have to do now is keep them up for the rest of the year. - I have been assigned awesome projects at my internship
I am going to be assisting with the redesign of the website at my internship as well as working on the content and copy. While this project is still in the initial stages, I am very excited to be able to do something very tangible that I will be able to use to “show for” my work. - I spent quality time catching up with friends I missed while away on break
I might allude to all the drama that happens in my group of friends (which, frankly, happens a lot) but they are my friends for a reason. It’s been really nice hanging out with them and catching up this week, especially as the weeks will only get crazier as finals approach.

Hi, I'm Manda. I'm a college student studying communications and languages. I like to read, shop, bake, and travel. I have a tendency to listen to my favorite songs on repeat for hours on end. Sometimes I catch myself thinking in a language other than English. 
OMG CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!!!!! <3 <3 <3 <3
It's been gorgeous here all week, got up to 64 degrees!

Isn’t the current weather just brilliant? So perfect for hanging outside.
And congrats on the acceptance! Beijing is SO much fun, especially if you’re studying abroad there. Do you know which school you’re studying at? And hooray for acing the midterms! Looks like you’ve had a great few days. :)

Congratulations, girl! I’m sure you’ll have an amazing experience in Beijing. I love it there. And I’m glad your internship is going superbly as well — it’s always nice to have meaningful work!
I’m so happy that the weather is cooperating. It was almost 70 in Chicago yesterday, and apparently it started snowing today, but I got home this morning and avoided Chicago weather’s nasty bipolarity. Muahahaha.
YAY! all around! :D
