Hello all!!!! It's been weeks since I have last blogged. I know, I am very sorry because I am sure all you ever wait for is my blog posts on your Sunday nights. Well, here you are.
These past few weeks have been crazy. I had midterms and tests and homework and projects and college and wow. It all has come so fast and hard. I am surviving though!!!! I went home for the weekend to see Chad go to Homecoming and for his 16th birthday. It was really refreshing and much needed. I love my pups!!!!!! It's good to see everyone alive and well just as me. Shout out to Ann for driving mom and I late at night to SLO and for the great breakfast <3 The next weekend after that was Family Weekend. It was lovely to get to take my cute fam around my new home and show them some of the new places that I have found. We went to Avila Beach and hiked Arch Graveyard, has some beauty love with mom and got our toes done. Overall, it was better to see their happy faces again, TWO WEEKS IN A ROW!
Now, some SLO updates and me. Ella and I are great just the same. It's so wonderful to have a wonderful person to have this experience with and be comfortable with. We have made really good friends with our floormate, Christina. I love her and her beautiful spirit. I have an internship with the Equipment Manager for the football team!!!! It's SO INSANE. I cannot believe that I am already learning and doing things that I never thought would be possible in my FIRST quarter of college. I go to football practice two times a week at 6AM (it's a 30 min walk from my dorm to the field lol) and sometimes office work when I have some time. My boss, Rich, is a crazily cool person. He graduated from San Diego State and started his career there and then worked at San Jose State. This is his first year at Cal Poly and I feel so blessed to be under his wing. I get a lot of experience and get to have a personal relationship with football players. I am so happy. Today, I got to hang out with my RA, Maddie, and she's a really cool person as well, so it was nice to be in her company. Community Council is going well too! We had a pumpkin carving event with our hall that was really successful. Halloween weekend was also a good time. Ella and I had matching costumes all weekend, we looked cute. I'll include pics. Also, it's nice to have a BFF, shoutout Bobke. I found a friend to watch Broncos' games with. Michael and Ella and I got a campsite for Yosemite in April!!!! I'M SO EXCITED BECAUSE WE ARE GOING TO HAVE SO MUCH FUN AND I MIGHT GO TO SEATTLE FOR SPRING BREAK AND AHHHH!!!!!
Honestly, not many complaints over here. I miss my dog. Homework is pretty crappy. I wish mom could do my laundry. But it's COLLEGE!!!! I'm thankful for all the texts and love I get from everyone on a weekly basis. Hope all is swell. Two weeks and I'll be home for Thanksgiving Break, mom's bday, and a RECTUM GANG REUNION.
Much love,
Ari
