New Year, New Me

(Attempting to take a pic of my new hair)

I don't have a lot of time to write today because I need to prepare my lesson plans for tomorrow and print out semester exam reviews, but I thought I would update on how my new year is starting off.  I visited my friend Lori at her salon the other day and got an awesome new haircut and new color.  She and I decided that I should go darker and redder with my hair.  I have to say I love the way it turned out!  It is a deep auburn type of color and it makes my complexion look a lot better than it had been looking lately with my faded highlights.  I really feel that highlights on me are a summer/spring thing only. 

So, I have a new haircut and it came at a great time because lately I feel like a new person.  I attended an orientation weekend last weekend for my Rotary Group Study Exchange program to Germany and I am really excited and very proud of my self.  I was able to truly understand what an awesome opportunity I have been given and how much this is going to affect my future career in education.  I also met a lady who does my dream job and made a great contact for advice on how to get there.  My dream job, by the way, is Director of Study Abroad at a university. 

I am reinvigorated in my job right now and it feels great.  I think that the Zumba club sponsorship has also had a big influence on my feelings toward my job lately as well.  I really feel like I am doing something meaningful and that I am making at least a small difference in the lives of teenagers. 

It's really early to say, but I am pretty sure 2011 is going to be just as good or better than 2010. :)

Salud!! (Cheers!)

Yay Aunt K-K! Way to have a career goal ... I've been thinking a lot lately about how I need one of those. I love the color. It looks awesome. Isn't that my shirt you're wearing? ;)

Thanks, Mer. Actually, it is my shirt. I bought it at Old Navy like 3 years ago. I do have a lot of your shirts though, and I wear them often!
