"Yes. Nearly everybody gets twitterpated in the springtime. For example: You're walking along, minding your own business. You're looking neither to the left, nor to the right, when all of a sudden you run smack into a pretty face. Woo-woo! You begin to get weak in the knees. Your head's in a whirl. And then you feel light as a feather, and before you know it, you're walking on air. And then you know what? You're knocked for a loop, and you completely lose your head!"

Week 4?!?

The weeks are literally flying by. I cannot believe that it is week 4 of Spring term already...it just does not seem possible.  A lot has happened in the past few weeks...past 6 weeks actually, so I have a lot to say!

I know that Spring Break was quite some time ago, but I figured I could write about it anyway? Okay good, I am glad you agree :) I went to Nashville for my break, which was a really awesome experience. Most of my time was spend helping out my mom and dad with the trade show they produce, but I got to do some sight seeing while I was there! Nashville is such a fun city, there is always something going on, and there is so much music its amazing! While I was there I got to meet Ruben Studdard, who won the 2nd Season of American Idol. His season was the first one I watched and it was because of that season that I became really invested in Idol. I don't watch it anymore, I left when Paula left.  Anyway...seeing him perform and meeting him was a really awesome experience.

My mom, Ruben, and I after the show.

After the week in Nashville I got to experience my first cross country road trip. Nashville to Eugene in about 3.5 days. Needless to say, it was a TON of driving. But, I got to see some incredibly beautiful landscape.

School started again, 4 weeks ago, and since then things have been crazy.  My schedule is about as bad as the come, Spanish at 8 am, and one class or another every night. Not my ideal schedule, but there is nothing I can do about it now.

A couple weeks ago I went on the PLUS Team Retreat, which was very special. It was a very emotional weekend, but I got to connect with some people that I would never have connected with otherwise. I can't wait for this summer and new student week! Its going to be a blast!

One last thing to say before I sign off...I got some awesome news! I was accepted to a summer leadership program through Portland State University. I applied for it in March, and I just found out I got in! Its called New Leadership Oregon and its going to be a fantastic experience! I really cannot wait!

I think thats it for now...I just have to make it through 6 more weeks and then summer is upon us! :)

Love,
