holy crap

I just found out that I paid over $2000 in interest for my student loans last year. That really sucks.

Another Day in The Bahamas

I am currently in my hotel room with the glass balcony door open, listening to the sound of the angry waves crashing down on the beach. It's a bit overcast and the beach is mostly vacant; a rare treat for a massive resort like Atlantis. The sounds of the ocean seems to have cast a spell over me that makes me feel pensive. Last night I took a long walk on the empty beach. As I dug my bare toes into the sand with the water flowing and receding over my feet, I pictured my dear friend Stephen walking next to me. He passed away nearly two years ago, but I still feel his presence at times, especially when I am alone and in a peaceful location. I miss the talking to him for hours on end. I wonder if he found my naïveté charming, or humorous. It doesn't really matter, of course. But I do remember begging him to go to college, and I still think that he was meant for college. He was the most intelligent person I've ever met and even after meeting so many people I still hold that opinion. I also remember what a shame it was that we would so often lose touch. The reason for that was his girlfriends always seemed to find me threatening, despite the fact that our relationship was platonic. I really do regret that... but it is what it is.

There isn't much of a point to this blog posting, but I just wanted to share my thoughts. I am enjoying myself here and I love that I have finally been outside of the United States.

Happy New Year!

Hello all, sorry for the lack in updates! I just haven't gotten around to it. I've been busy, and when I'm not busy all I want to do is sleep and go out and explore.

Matt (my boyfriend) came to visit me in LA for Christmas, and I really enjoyed spending time with him. I miss him a lot, since I basically jumped from seeing him all the time, to never seeing him. We got to go around Los Angeles and check out different areas. We even went to a really dangerous area to donate some cat and dog food to a non-profit vet.

Since December 26th I have been working and I'm so tired of it. I just need a day off to myself. I'm sleep deprived and I just feel so rushed and generally exhausted. I was in West Palm Beach from the 26th-30th and then I was in Ft. Lauderdale from the 30th until I left for the Bahamas on New Year's Day. I did not get to do anything in West Palm Beach or Ft. Lauderdale. I'm in The Bahamas right now and it is beautiful here, the only downside is that I'm here for work so I won't get many opportunities to go out and enjoy the resort (Atlantis).
The scenery alone is breathtaking. The water here is clear, but from a slight distance it has a gorgeous turquoise tone to it. It's one of the most beautiful sights I have witnessed, with it rivaling Monterey Bay, California.

I'm off to bed, but I hope to have some fun tomorrow at this lovely resort.
