It was wonderful to finally get out to LA after a (very) long 8-month wait. I really missed my friends, I missed the area, and I missed the sunshine. I missed the heat. I missed the traffic on the 10 and the 405. I missed Diddy Riese, In-N-Out, and yes, even Del Taco. I missed USC. I missed South Central. I basically missed everything there was to miss and not to miss.
I felt free for the first time in months. I felt like me again.
I know that I am eventually going to have to move out there, without a doubt. I know I don't belong on the East Coast, but this is where I am at the moment and I am trying to make the best of it in every way possible. I even applied for a *real* job today! I am more than likely not going to get it, but a girl can dream, can't she? Ha!
I'm upset that I did not get to see as many people as I wanted to see, nor as many sights as I wanted to see, but I finally did do the hike in Griffith Park. One week was way too short.
On the Peace Corps front, I have definitely decided to put off leaving until at least next August. If I get the job that I applied for, I can plan my class schedule in such a way that I will have all of my classes done by next August, at which point I will be ready to leave. Hopefully, I can squeeze the MCAT in there somewhere, but we know that plans always change. Here's to hoping!

Mary! Where did you apply for your real job? If you need any help with this, I am more than willing to help in any way I can. I'm pretty good with resumes and all that jazz.
Also, I'm glad Cali was so good to you ^_^ I'm also thrilled that you'll be around for a while =) When circumstance brings you to Cali, I'll miss you terribly. Til that day, though, I'll enjoy you on the East coast <3
