About Me

"It's a new day", as Lauryn Hill would say, and I really feel like it is. So many things remain the same but also so much inside and out has changed... not for the good of bad.. it's just changed. I'm 19, and a Junior at Cascade College in P-Town OR. For those of you who don't know about Cascade (which is everyone) It's a 4 yr liberaly arts school with 250 students on Burnside in Portland. I work at Starbucks, and am fully addicted to a drug called caffine, in the coffee form. SO for lent i decided to give up my addiction. I know i'm crazy ;-) I love Oregon, tho i did leave my heart with Intervarsity in San Diego.... I miss you guys. I love God, and try to believe he loves me. I try, despite my innumerable failures, to show that i love Him with my life. I'm real, to a fault, and i love real people. This is me.... uhh ya.Here's A Photo Album- Just Click it January
