Goodbye Childhood, Hello Womanhood!

After spending the duration of my childhood dreaming about the wonders of adulthood, I can proudly say that I have finally entered the beautiful and busy world of being a legal woman. Although I have not even been 18 for a single month yet, I still feel the drastic difference. Already I have been in positions where my "adulthood" has been put to the test. I've had to learn how to speak up for myself, sign contracts, and even open my own bank account! With all these new experiences I can honestly say that I love being an adult! I have already opened up my own bank account, applied for a new job (where I have been hired), will began paying my own bill, and planning on moving to Seattle seems more of a reality than a vague dream! I hope everyone around America who enters the beautiful phase of adulthood takes it by force! :D

Happy Holidays :D

Merry Christmas & Happy New Year :D

I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas and remembered the true reason why we celebrate it. This Christmas was once again amazing! Although I didn't receive that many gifts, the spirit, love, and family made it all worth while. My brother did decide to buy a dog!!! He is the cutest little pup I've ever laid eyes on. Usually I hate animals and don't like to be around them, but this pup is sooo cute and little I just had to make an exception for him. His name is Louie and he is an all white labroder retriever. In other news, New Years is around the corner and I am really excited because 2011 will be the year of change for me! I will officially be done with high school and will be entering college! I am so excited and I can not wait to see which college I end up at. I really hope that I get accepted to Seattle Pacific University! It is the best college in the world and it's my first choice. They are killing me however by making me wait this long just to find out if I got accepted or not. I am literally dying, and to top it all off, I applied for early admissions!!!!!!!!! Well, I guess thats enough for today. Have a wonderful night guys xoxoxoxo

My personal review of The Scarlet Letter #1

Initially as I picked up the thick black book with no cover that I borrowed from my local library, I insisted that this book would be entirely too boring and meaningless for me to read. That was of course until I actually begin reading the book. The idea of never judging a book by its cover-even in this case when the book I borrowed came without one-stands to be true. Although the book is written in richly elevated language that causes even the most renowned literature lover to slow down while reading in order to fully grasp each concept hidden in each word, it seemed to catch my attention. I instantly noticed that the author, Nathaniel Hawthorne, uses imagery all throughout the opening of the first few chapters to foreshadow a deeper meaning. I anticipate to find out the significance of the rugged prison he described, the bright rose bush, and the scarlet red letter that seemed to haunt me throughout the beginning chapters of the novel. I, once again, have fallen in love with a book that I initially had no desire to read.

My definition of love has changed dramatically overtime. I remember, not to long ago, my idea of love was merely a feeling you get when you think someone is cute, or when someone looks you deep into your eyes. I was wrong. I learned that love is far more complex than a feeling or a stare. Love is bliss, love is logical, love is long suffering, love is pain, love is a choice. It amazes me to know that I found my true love in Christ. I trust him to guide me to someone to share the same love I have for him. My eyes will continue looking at Christ, my true love...
