Back from Break

Exciting news: I’m going to the university of Minnesota pharmacy school next fall! I found out that I was accepted 3 weeks ago, but now it’s official that I’ll be moving to the Twin Cities at the end of August! My good friend in AmeriCorps, Mae, found out that she was accepted to law school in Minneapolis the same week as me and it’s exciting times for both of us!

Another winter break accomplishment: I talked about NCCC so much that 5 friends said they are applying for next year.

Upon returning to the dorm from the airport this afternoon I found that half of the floor that I live on was flooded. Luckily it is not the half I live on, but there is furniture in the hallways and laundry room.

I’m back in Sac for the night and will be driving down to Long Beach with my team tomorrow morning. We will be purchasing all of our groceries for three weeks before we take the ferry over to Catalina Island on Tuesday morning. This should be interesting. As far as I know, the first week we’ll be working with biologists to save foxes that are endemic to Catalina. I’m hoping to develop a passion for animals this week. I also have a headlamp and approximately 6 books so I will hopefully be able to survive without electricity for 3.5 weeks.

I will hopefully give an update when I go into Avalon (the only town on Catalina) every once in awhile, but until then, email/facebook me your address and you will receive a postcard! :)
