From Kristyn

This year has been very crazy for me. In september I began my last year as a college student. In June I will finally be graduating with a degree in English and a separate degree in Psychology. I moved into my first apartment and it is everything you could expect a broke college student to love in... falling apart, hardly any sunlight, and sometimes dirty. But it is nice to be living on my own (despite having 3 other roommates!). My most frequently asked question this year has to be "what are you going to do after you graduate?" The honest answer is that I really don't know yet. Eventually I would love to move into the music industry, hopefully promoting and planning concerts or maybe managing bands one day. But that is still a long time away.

I am excited and ready to be done with college and have been counting down the days until freedom (or lockdown, depending on how you want to look at it). Right now I am sitting in my living room watching TV... I just got done baking some pecan pies. Dad says they are as good as Grandma Thompson's but he might just be saying that because he has to. Haha. But I do love to cook and bake in my spare time. We don't have a dishwasher in my apartment and I hate doing dishes, so I don't cook too much... but every once in awhile its like I channeled Emeril. :)

I am working two jobs still... one on campus through the University helping the Associate Dean of students with Parent Notification -- sending Parents letters when their students exhibit problems with drugs, alcohol, and the law so the family can make supportive decisions. My second job is with a businessman in an office in Montecito (that's where Oprah lives!). So between school and work, I keep pretty busy.

Not sure what else to say right now. Hopefully that fills you in on my life at the moment. I miss everyone a lot and hope I can come visit soon! Love you! -- Kristyn.
