hhmmm....can't think of a good title

School has started back up, it is my last semester which I am very excited about. But this semester is just very difficult-lots of work, but good.  I am applying for jobs internationally.  I got accepted to work (volunteer work) in the Galapagos Islands, which I was so happy about.  I'm waiting to hear about a job in Paris, which I would really love but am very nervous about.  
Mom, Dad & Sharon are on a cruise right now in the Med.  Sharon will fly straight from Rome to London then to York for her year abroad.  She is so excited, and I am so happy and excited for her. 

Here is another picture from the roadtrip: 
In Harry Potter, the ride in Hogwarts is totally awesome.  Here is a picture that we took in it.  We just loved that this is so what we looked like-this was our first of many rides.  We were going through the Forbidden Forest with the huge spiders.
