all over the place

Another lunchtime update.

My roommate Kate is going home this weekend. She is from the beach, and her dad knows how to surf. I told her I really want to go down some weekend this summer and get him to teach us! I've always really wanted to learn how to surf. Hopefully sometime in July we will make a trip. Surfing looks like so much fun, and such great exercise. I don't think I'll ever get serious enough about it to do huge waves (they scare me), but I'd like to get up on the board and surf some nice small-medium sized waves. That's about all we have around here, anyway. This will be me!

I ordered a subscription to the Wall Street Journal today, which will be great for keeping up with Economics-related news. That will be important once I start interviewing for jobs. Anyway, I got the subscription free with some airline miles which were about to expire. I also got a subscription to People Magazine in Spanish. So, these subscriptions should be good practice for my majors. Unfortunately, I still have like 5,000 miles left and I'm not sure what to do with them because I'm not making any trips anytime soon.


On a sadder note, my mom just informed me and my dad that my childhood best friend's mom died yesterday in a car accident. It is so sad. Her family has been through quite enough already. It was a single car accident, so who knows, maybe she just hit her breaking point. I can't believe it happened. It's so weird to me--being young, this is one of the first people I knew really well that has died. Anyway, I need to pray for her family.
