What's up guys! How's it going! I'm at Starbucks right now, working on a bunch of things, and I only have about an hour before I have to head off to my next job. But! I really wanted to write a little something. Life just has me so excited right now.

I don't know how long this feeling will last, but I'm in love with it. Here's what I'm up to:
-I made the choice to apply to grad school last week, so that's what I've been doing. I just have to write my personal statement (which is what I'm doing at Starbucks lol) and then I'll be good! I hope everything works out.
-A few weeks ago I was sitting in my room thinking about how much I want to visit LA. And then I thought... I CAN. So right then and there I used my saved travel points and booked a round trip flight for the end of April. I found a cheap hostel on Hollywood Blvd, have been outfit planning nonstop, and mapped out my 4 days there. It's cool to be excited about a trip because I haven't really done that for myself since early last year. When I was in college, I would get bus tickets to random places by myself all the time and now I don't do that as much. ALSO! I booked a tattoo appointment with an artist in LA I look up to so much! His name is Vince Espinoza and he's tattooed some of my favorite people. I should hear back about a confirmation soon - I'm beyond stoked.
-You guys. Kids are cute. I've never really vibed with kids (I prefer to work with teenagers - weird, I know) but I've been around kids so much lately and it makes me excited. Not that I want to have kids right now, because I don't, but as much as I thought I wanted to travel the world and live in a million places, I think I'm most excited just to start my career and plant down in one place for a bit. I hadn't even thought about it until recently, but I find myself looking at apartment decor way more than travel essentials. Everyone knew this about me, except for me. Haha! Seeing cute kids everywhere makes me think about what life could look like soon(er than I think! But not that soon ;)
-Besides that, I'm keeping busy. I'm still taking the TEFL course online even though I won't be teaching abroad any time soon. I get to facilitate art therapy sessions every Monday at my internship, I still work retail which is a bummer but it helps me save, I babysit on Monday afternoons, and I also am a substitute teacher about twice a week for schools around my town. I try to just sub for art classes, which is awesome, but it's fun just to chill with the students for the day regardless.
How have you been feeling? Anything in your life have you excited? Are there changes you can make to get that feeling?
Happy Monday!
