It's been a while

But this has been a really busy transition week for me. Got back from London last Wednesday and headed straight to Vegas for an early bday trip thanks to my amazing older sister. Day beds and Thunder From Down Under, always a good idea. It was a really good trip with my older sister and lil' sis Shira. I found out that I am still a Vegas newb but I will try to work on that. 

This whole week I have been working as an RA at a great camp for under privileged girls at school. It is through the business shill and teaches them how to deal with money and also encourages them to go to college. It is awesome seeing these girls grow and learn. They are such high achieves at such a young age, it is quite refreshing. But at the same time it is super tiring. Watching 31 eleven and twelve year old is a huge task. We have already had some.....instances and difficulties but I have had a great time with them. 

Tomorrow I leave for my student diplomat trip to Israel/Palestine and Jordan trip. We start in DC and get to do so many amazing things. I will be gone for about three weeks and will get back on Sept. 1st. I can't wait to share all that I get to see and do. This is really going to be a life changing experience. I wish I could describe how excited I am and what progress this trip will help me make towards my future goals. Plus, the group of UCI and UCLA student that I am going with are the brightest kids on campus. I can't wait to see what I learn from them and the trip itself. 

Until we meet again Cali!
