Manifestations of your own blessings: Productive Sunday and Colorado favorites

After a very unproductive last couple of days I became overwhelmed yesterday morning and decided to power through some work. I had a few power hours during which I must have sent more emails than I had all week long. I also worked on a few secondaries and did errands during my breaks. Even with the slight stress, I worked pretty hard and it was just a great release to get to do some night tennis. Basically night tennis is one of my absolutely favorite things this summer. Its nice to just completely focus on hitting the ball properly and rally with someone. Its surprising how I feel that this sport is slowly becoming ingrained into my new life. I have many hopes for this upcoming semester and the things I plan on continuing. Most importantly, I hope I can continue having an active lifestyle.

This week will be crazy. I plan on submitting my revised Fulbright application, but first I need to settle on a country and affiliation which I pray I will get in time - I'm going to be skyping a woman in Malaysia who has supported two Fulbright scholars before so that may end up being the country but I still hope to hear back from the Health Chancellor from the Hanoi School of Public Health because it would be really awesome to work on the Vietnamese HIV/AIDS project. I also hope to submit 6 secondaries: VCU, UVA, EVMS, VT, Boston University, and Georgetown. Then in North Carolina I need to submit my Rhodes and Marshall applications, and then another 6 secondaries.

Thankfully I'm stranded at the Subaru dealership until 12 pm today so maybe I will actually be productive! I'm going to try to go to the super intense Fit ball/Core class again afterward and work on my questions for the Fulbright discussion.

The chill in the air makes me so excited for returning in the fall. I have been thinking of this quote all day long.

That is why fall is my favorite season. School supplies, books, new study spots and lunch buddies. It will be fantastic.

Here are some of my favorite couple of Colorado photos, having not gone through these yet XD Someday I will upload all of these...
