Thank you to these people above for making me feel again. I found my place.

Last of summer 2009... running away from a crazy lady. Hey Tam, is that your ice cream bowl? Don't answer that... Are those knives stuck in your door? Don't answer that either.

The most amazing thing about these people is how we all came together. Everything could have been so different, if we all just stayed to ourselves outside of class. But we always wanted to be together, we always wanted to experience life. There were people from America, England, Egypt, Russia, Spain, Brazil, Uganda, Lebanon... and many others! It truly made me realize how SMALL my life is. The world is so huge and I want to know more than just what's around me. I am never in the same place in the U.S. anyways so lets see where I can stretch the boundaries even more. oh yeeeee.

After NYFA wrapped up, I headed back to Arizona for school. These goodbyes were unreal. I mean we were all strangers 6 weeks prior and I felt as if I was leaving life long friends. The last thing I had on my mind was school, but life happens and it was where my commitments were. It was a little rough, because all I wanted to do was be back in acting classes. I was missing my creative outlet, and so I had to keep reminding myself what I was capable of, while maintaining the college kid life=not my thing.

Shout out to SAMTAM & the Fantastic Four. Samantha, Tamara, Andrew, & Richard= my soul mates= STAR. Yall are truly amazing people and I am so lucky to have found such special friendships. NEVER stop chasing your dreams. Because, I believe in you guys & OBVIOUSLY thats all that matters... okay, well whatever. I won't even start on the memories obtained at Oakwood because it would get out of hand, very fast.

NEW YORK FiLM ACADEMY::: SUMMER 2009.

This is where my whole life changed. I met the most amazing people from around the world,literally. & we all came together to study what we love, acting. I fell in love with the craft again and thought about my future. I am still great friends with these people, and I hope to see them back in the city of ANGELS this summer. I love you all from NYFA & you are in my thoughts.

Eurotrip '09

Oh haay, I'm Robert Pattinson and I am Beautiful & from England. anyways..

NOTTiNG HiLL>>> Well, this is another fave. It is just so trendy. I found some awesome stuff at the flea markets on Portabello Road. The little colorful attaching houses are... well, lets just say I want one. This day reminded me of the movie Notting Hill, which then reminded me of this quote: "I'm just a girl, standing in front of a boy, asking him to love her." awww, I WANT THAT.::LONDON:: Only my FAVORITE CITY IN THE WORLD!! Goodness, I love this place. It is one of those places that I push my fashion, because I can. I get inspired by street chic Londoner gals. I would not be opposed to living there and finding my future husband/ David Beckham replica. Then we could run off to LA with our beautiful British children... What? I can dream.

::PARiS:: Oh so cliche, but such a romantic city. Well not much romance for me, but it was cool to finally see it. I have been taking French for years and I WILL be fluent in French... one day. Proudest moment: telling a joke to the cab driver & he actually understood it & even more surprisingly, laughed out loud. Sarah and I were a big fan of the nutella crepes. I mean, who wouldn't be. Paris, I will be back someday! ::MARBELLA, SPAiN:: We stayed at a beautiful resort in Marbella. I found it so interesting to be laying by the pool with such a diverse crowd. Seriously, to your left there would be a Scottish family with their young abundance of gingers running around. To your right, possibly a Latino babe being creeped on by a fat man in a speedo. And then my favorite, the Brits & their accents that I would secretly be trying to imitate. Regardless, it was very fun to people watch. Sarah and I had many fun nights out on the Port, where I fell in love with, big shocker here: a British fellow. I pulled a few shenanigans at this location that got me on strict watch from the parents the rest of the vacation-- but it was so worth it. :)

I went to Europe last June & it was amazing!! I absolutely love experiencing new cultures. I was with my parents and a good friend, Sarah. We explored through Marbella, Spain, London, & Paris. I met a heartthrob Rob Pattinson look-a-like. It was pretty much love at first sight (for a week). London was my favorite city because of the fashion!
