About Me

I am currently living in Syracuse, NY ... working on my Masters in Social Work at SU. It's been great getting to know new people, everyone has been pretty cool! I'm excited that I have a two bed room apt. to myself! The work load is insane! But I'm making my dreams happen, day-by-day! I started an internship at the end of Aug. (2006), working out in the community with those that are chronically mentally ill ... I'm really excited about the opportunity! Though I do admit that it is a difficult job! Basketball season is right around the corner ... therefore, if you need to find me - I'll be at all the SU games! I got an awesome "student discount" on season tickets ... I'm so excited for the games to begin! I feel grateful every day for those people in my life that send their love and support to me ... so thank you! I love you guys! I miss you all! And thanks for keeping me sane! Lots of love- L. P.S. All visitors are welcomed!! this layout is from whateverlife.com!
