Be Happy

People always tell me that I have a contagious smile (I'm not really sure that its true, but I'll take their word for it). My uncle tells me "you're such a happy person, every time I see you you're smiling." I think that's the biggest compliment he could ever give me. I think life is too short to be miserable and to be sad. I like to smile, and be happy, so I try to laugh at things that would otherwise make me mad, I'm quick to forgive because holding grudges is not healthy, and I try to do as many things that make me happy as possible. So when I saw this quote it really struck me and I thought I would make a post just to share it. BE HAPPY!!

Finally

So it has been brought to my attention that I have been noticeably absent from the blogging scene, and for that I apologize.

I have indeed been slacking a bit I suppose. So since my last blog, I officially finished at UCSD and now have a bachelors in International Studies-Economics. I have read about 5 books from my list, and I have been working an insane amount of hours at the bank, hence my absence.

Now that I have finished with school (for now) I am embarking on my new adventure, the real world, which includes working 40 hour weeks. I feel lucky that I already had a job after graduating, since many are not so lucky, specially in a bad economy with high unemployment.

Along with working I also hope to get involved with a non-profit and start working to really make a difference. I also need to start looking into grad schools, and all that fun stuff.

Just thinking about it all makes my head spin, but in a good way, I'm excited that the months ahead are going to be so busy. So here goes nothing, my chance to go out there and, as I read in another blog, "fail beautifully." Or as Samuel Becket put it:

ever tried
ever fail
no matter
try again
fail again

fail better.
