Ultimate Fighting Champion...!

Now that I got your attention...

This week was super hectic! 

So as my regular schedule job. I worked at SKIPP with the kiddos M-Th. 

Took off Friday morning for Seattle! My third volunteer opportunity of the summer, with Seafair. 

Started my shift at 2 and went to 6pm. I met a great group of girls who were working as interns. They were all going into their senior year of college at WSU and one from UW, all majoring in either, Marketing, Comm or PR. - I want to major in PR! We had a lot of common interests off the bat and they gave me some great advice for getting PR experience. 

Saturday, I had another shift, but working at the Seattle Center. My legs got so tired from standing up the whole time. My job position was "packet pick-up" as the pre-registered runners from the Torchlight run would come pick up their "packet." I would find their name through all of the names, organized alphabetically by last A-Z. It took me a while sometimes and lots of asking to repeat or spell the last name. - Who knew there were so many "Olson" & "Miller" 's in this world!? 

       After I was relieved from my shift. I got to enjoy the fair. I watched the Torchlight parade and met UFC Ronda Rousey!! I waited in line for 30 mins., amongst some mid-20 year old guys who looked at me like "does she even know who she is?!" with their bro tanks on and their arms tatted up. She is really nice and has a really chill vibe to her. It was an honor. 

Overall, fun weekend! And got lots of pictures and shirts to remember it all! Check out my photos on my  Flickr account! :)

I'm Back!!

Hello!
Sorry I've been absent for so long! I am back and ready to commit to weekly blog posts!

First things first...
I AM a HIGH SCHOOL GRADUATE! WOOHOO!!

Can't believe I made it. - Now the easy part is done! ;D

What i'm doing now:
I have been doing volunteer work (for job experience) with The Color Run, Color in Motion and coming up, Color Me Rad & The Color Vibe. I have Seafair coming up this weekend. And Bumbershoot is next month!! Oh! And I've also got a position with the Hands on Children's Museum at Sand in the City. I'm just a busy bee this summer!
                                                          "Go Getter!" - parents and grandma
Also, I'm a volunteer with Olympia Park's and Recreation S.K.I.P.P. over at Woodruff. I started 3rd week of June thru August 16! As of now, the positions I've volunteered for don't stop until mid-September!

Enough of my workload. It's making me tired just writing about it!

I'm still taking the year off, like I had planned. And the travel plans, not so much. Sadly, I won't be staying with a host family and improving my spanish speaking skills in a South American country, BUT I am going to get a paying job.

I love to travel and that just disappointed me that it didn't end up working out. I wanted to cross another country off my list. ... mental travel-bucket list. Oh well! That's life. Not everything works out as planned.
    sidenote: I am in the process of planning a trip to CAlifornia this fall to do some shopping and visiting! I have been having a HUGE craving for Brandy Melville and In N Out burger. I need to update my wardrobe with some cute hipster -"LA Lifestyle" look. After all, I am going to become a Californian, I should start blending in. :)

Hmmm.... What else is new. . .

• My 18 Birthday is in less than a month!! 
• I'm already super tan from my job (summer camp counselor)! We're outside M-F morning to afternoon. 
• I'm going to miss my friends as they go off to their first year of college in a month. :/
• Thought I was going to be at the US Surf Open...next year!
• Definitely going to Coachella '14 - another CA trip! :D
• One of the campers at SKIPP is an actress. Like Hollywood famous! NBD. 

Talk to you later! :)
