Reclaimation of The Bright Side

I forgot about my blog. I used to write a lot of posts at one point, back when I was in college. It was only today that I was reminded of it when I found an interesting blog online that I wanted to follow and I somehow found my way back to my blogspot page. It's been 6 years since I last posted here.

I started reading through my posts, some were amusing, some were annoying. A lot of posts were about silly trials and tribulations of a UCSC undergraduate student flopping her way through relationships with all the wrong guys. But a fair amount were about figuring out life after being a minor... when you are out on your own and starting to think for yourself for the first time. Never the less, it kind of read like a teenager's diary. So I saved them all on my computer, but I have deleted them from this blog for the sake of moving on.

I am reclaiming Always Look On The Bright Side Of Life, 6 years later as a 5th year grad student in Chemistry. I haven't played the trumpet in years, I don't draw much anymore (but I hope that changes once I graduate), and I can't wear flip flops as often as I used to (Long Island, NY gets a lot colder than Santa Cruz, CA). But, on the bright side, I am married, I am a yoga and biking addict, I have become a food snob (an inevitability when married to an Italian man), and my greatest desire after I graduate is to finally learn to speak Italian... oh, and finally get to live with my husband... oh, and get a real job!
