I got a Little!

Yay! Big Brothers Big Sisters just called and they found me a match. Her name is Jae Lynn, she's 7 years old, she's been waiting to become old enough to get a Big Sister because her older sister who is 10 has one and she gets jealous of the fun her older sister has with her Big that she wanted one of her own. She is active and into sports like basketball and baseball and playing outside. She likes to go shopping and watch TV- her sister and her mom are really girly and aren't into outside activities so she's excited to have someone to go out and do all that with. I think it's exciting too. Now they will call her and her mom and tell them about me and ask them if they think it will be a good match. If they do, then I will go to her house with my adviser to meet her and her family. If they don't, then they will look for another match for me.
Pretty cool.

Big Brothers Big Sisters

I got my acceptance letter today! They said next time I will be hearing from them it will most likely be to propose a Little to me. I don't know how long that process will take, but I am really excited! I'll let everyone know once I find out who my match is.

Just some updates

So I'm almost half way through the summer quarter, I'm taking Psychology 110. My final grades for spring were 2.9 in English 102, 3.1 in Math 098, and 4.0 in Sociology. My GPA is a 3.3- only 0.2 points away from the Dean's List! (You need at least a 3.5 GPA for the quarter).

I went back home to PA for a week last month and visited with all my friends and the family, it was a very crazy hectic week but I think I managed to spend a significant amount of time with everyone. Brianna is coming out here to Seattle this weekend and Kelsey and I are so excited to show her around and have her here to visit.

I had an interview with Big Brothers Big Sisters, so now I'm just waiting to hear back if I got accepted or not, which I think I did. They are checking my references and going over my application and then they will let me know if I was accepted and if I was they will start looking for my match. I'll get a "little" between the ages of 7 and 16, a girl, who I have to spend time with 3 times a month. Hopefully I will be accepted and I'll let you all know about it!

Well there's lots of TV on tonight, Big Brother 10 started last Sunday, and the 2nd epsiode is on tonight, along with Wipeout and Japanese Game Show... Kelsey and I have already claimed our spots on the couch.
