enJOY it by Elise Blaha Cripe

aware.

Gave a fabulous presentation in 302 today.  It was good because of what I said, not how I said it.  Heifer International might just be the greatest organization on the planet.  It seeks to determine the real issues within impoverished communities, and then solve them permanently, not just cover them up for awhile.  This is an organization that has made, and will continue to make a difference.  So excited that I got to learn more about it.  So excited that I got to tell others about it.  Have officially decided that someday I will buy an ark. 

Remember this proverb: Give a man a fish, and you've fed him for a day.  Teach a man to fish, and you've fed him for a lifetime.

Life just got crazy. 

It gave me two presentations tomorrow.  And 40 opportunities to go out.  It gave me a cold.  And it made it rain outside.  It took away my bank account. 

Life finally caught up to me.  Now I have to catch up to it.

Spent a delightful weekend with the fam courtesy of Alpha Phi Parents Weekend. 

Loads of work to do now in order to be ready for the remaining two 21st bday celebrations.

Get on it, Elise.

qualified.

Got Target.  As in the internship.  As in spending the summer in LA.  As in I think I have a career path.

Excited.  Have to take a drug test.  And as long as alcohol doesn't count, I am golden.  Then it's official.  From June 12 - August 18, I intern in store.  If things go well, I get hired after I graduate next December and start at $48500.  Then I hopefully get on a fast track to corporate in Minneapolis.  And then it's the dream. 

I feel like I just grew up.

the five.

I have good reason for creating these weekly lists.  For the (21st!) birthday, the girls got me this necklace that I said that I loved.  Glorious.  Quality choice girls.

So here we go.  Not gonna lie, big week.  I had to hold auditions to come up with these five:

1. Heifer International: Most amazing charity in the World.  Doing a speech about them next week for 302.
2. Grey's Anatomy Original Soundtrack
3. My orange jersey sheets.  Honestly. 
4. Cereality: I Need to get to one of these cafes.  Stat.
5. Legality.  Pretty Amazing.

I am blessed.  Happy Friday.
