I have been accepted to Pace with a 23,500 dollar renewable scholership!! Wahhh!! This is crazy!!! The feeling I had when I saw this was indescribable! 23,500 is a lot of money and with that extra cash, Pace's price is much more comparable to Uconn's price!

The poptart is there to cover my information =) |
It's been a little over a week since I've gotten back from my vacation and I really wanted to make a vacation recap. It's so strange, but I feel like it has been so much longer than 1-2 weeks since coming back. This is weird to say, but it almost feels like I did not go on vacation.. I know I did, but it just feels like break never occurred. Time really does fly when you are having fun!! I'm very sad that it is over, but for spring break in April, I get to go back!

Lots Of Gifts!! |
For the little boy, I found that getting gifts for him was a bit harder since I'm not a boy. Honestly, I find getting gifts for any guy quite difficult. He's pretty young so I just assumed he would like anything I got him. Therefore, I chose to get him stickers of cars and angry birds. Along with that, I also got him a strawberry EOS and a nail polish with cars on it. Everytime I go there, I get his sister a bunch of beauty products and he never gets to use them since they aren't his so he asks me for nail polish and chapstick of his own!!

Loving the festive spirit. |
I took the bus to go to New York and we were very fortunate to not hit any traffic. We left around 9:30 and got to the city before 12:30! It was a nice bus ride and I got to catch up on my sleep when I was on it hehe. Our bus dropped us off in the middle of Chinatown and from there, my mom and I walked to the nearest bakery to grab some lunch. I really love the food in these little "Asian" bakeries so I am always hungry for something to eat! The items I chose to get for my mini lunch was something called honey bread and a sesame ball. (They are both pictured in the middle!) The honey bread was very sweet and I guess I didn't realize how much honey they would have put in it. The bread literally ozzed honey though it was still yummy tasting.. just a bit sweet for my taste buds. The sesame ball is delicious! I have had it before and they are one of my favorite treats!

Applying chapstick and stickers hehe. |

I will force then to love Ailee (and Demi) hehe. So far, it is working!! |
Along with the bracelets and cupcakes, we also listened to music. I showed the kids some of my favorite singers including Demi Lovato and Ailee. It's my goal to make both of them love these artists. So far, I have gotten both of them to fall in love with Ailee's rendition of Halo. If you haven't seen it, you should check it out! I also have them both hooked on Demi's new music.!
I got to celebrate Christmas with them and they were the ones who got me a tablet. I still cannot believe it, but I love my tablet. I use it literally everyday! The kids got so much presents, but mainly legos. They love legos so much that they ever have a city made out of them. I think it is the cutest thing ever.
The weekend after Christmas, I got to go snowboarding with the kids. That was a pretty fun and scary experience. I went skiing with them once and I slightly disliked that because I froze out there, but snowboarding was quite fun this time. It was sunny outside and being with the kids made it so much better. I had to act like I knew what I was going to help them hehe. (though I think I was the one who was most afraid of falling there.)

What have you guys been doing lately?
Do any of you feel like you have been stuck in a "rut/post holiday blues" like I am? Hopefully I'll get over it once Feb. hits.!
Really random, but if you have opinions on Pace, please share them with me hehe. I get to visit all my colleges in March/April before making my final decision and it still has yet to hit me that what I pick is where I will be for the next 4 years!
Yeah Mindy Congratulation you should be proud in how far you got so far love the images and you have so much to celebrate about. Have an awesome weekend doll.
