This week I ventured over to the other side of the mountains to Spokane for a few days. I left on Sunday morning and came back on Wednesday. I had an amazing time, and didn't really want to leave! I stayed with Shanon and Kyle, and it was so much fun to see them and their cute little married life. Also, it was so great to finally catch up (in person) with her and not have something in the way (like a phone or facebook wall). I also got to see Mallorie, Kevin, people from my old job in student accounts (where the craziness never ends!)... I went to a sociology class and talked about grad school (per the request of one of my old professors!), and got to go to DANCE CLASS and actually dance with them. That was one of my favorite parts of the trip-- nothing has changed! I could just jump right in to warm-ups and choreography like the last 4 months never happened. I miss dance so much- it's like a part of my heart is gone, and dancing again sort of put it back together.
Yesterday Kelsey and I went to the zoo! Yep, that's right! We had a great time, saw all of the cute little animals (I covered my eyes when we went past the snakes), and enjoyed a beautiful day in the pacific northwest. It was actually a really great week, because after I got back from Spokane I only had to work 2 days and they were not at all stressful, and then had a great day at the zoo. I wish every week could be like that!

Another piece of *sort of* exciting news-- I finally get to go into the schools this week. I'm going to be working at Stadium High School on Tuesdays and Thursdays, with at-risk students identified through the Guidance and Counseling Office. I am so excited to get out of the office and get into the schools, where I thought I would be all along. It's only for 3 or 4 hours each of those days, but that's better than nothing.
School this week is going to be crazy. We turned in our major paper for the semester last Thursday, but this T/Th I have my huge presentations in both classes. Once those are done, though, then I only have one more paper to turn in for the whole quarter, which is good. I just have to make it through this week!
Well, i'm off to work on my debate presentation. Thanks for reading, hope you all are well!

Yay for visiting Spokane! I'm glad you had a great time! How fun to see Shanon and Kyle,Kevin and all your old work associates ;) That's so exciting that you got to dance again too, I bet you do miss it. It was such a huge part of your life at Whitworth. The zoo looked so much fun too. Thanks for the great blog post. I am glad things at work are looking up too! Miss you Jess, love ya!
I am really glad that you covered your eyes when you went past the snakes. If they had seen you looking- who KNOWS what they could have done!
:-) Also, great post and also again, I miss you.
