beautiful people holding hands

what up

so, uh, san diego was/is awesome. it was so good to see will, to hang out with kevin, to meet will's cohort (part of it at least) and to see my friend leonard who's living in l.a. why is san diego so lovely. why do i love my peer court job so much. why is my boss and (one of my) coworker(s) so freaking fantastic.

i also was able to hang out with my grandparents this morning, and i love them a lot. really, that is all i can say about that. oh and that i miss them and at times kick myself for moving so freaking far away.

so i am back to my "reality" of life that is momentarily san francisco. i still heart my roof a whole heck of a lot, and missed my walks around the city - though frightfully, my disillusionment with the credit union job is hitting me pretty full on super quickly - but ONE MONTH FROM WEDNESDAY and i am finished. praise be.

this also means i am closely approaching being in sf one year, which is wee-ehhrd.

i would like to say that my co-worker celina is one of the strongest women in my life. good grief. i hung out with that woman this afternoon, and FOR THE LOVE, you think YOUVE gone through some shit. i dont mean to compare. but for reals. i am trying even harder to not take tooo much for granted, and to recognize there is more to everyone that you see walking/driving along the streets.

below are photos from my credit union/americorps conference in north carolina:

front and centerish are leland and jennifer. they are brilliant human beings, and gave a presentation that dreams are made of.


in this one i am surrounded by my fellow disillusioned americorps volunteers from across the country. samantha, super awesome friend from the bronx, is in pink sitting next to me. we all look like we're going to punch someone (aaahhahah - esp the kids farthest to the right), which is fairly descriptive of our credit union conference experiencia.

miss you kids a lot. hope all is well!! love love
