For those who knew, I worked at Acen 2012 this year as part of my second required internship for school. It is only required by Acen standards that everyone work a minimum of 24 hours. However anyone that also knows me knows that nothing comes easy to me, I had to work 50 hours. 17ish of those 50 I worked pre-event doing: staff training, badge assembly etc etc. I was fun! I started "work" Thursday at 2pm and my last shift on ended at 3 pm on Sunday. I was only gone for 3 days but it felt like a whole two weeks, it felt weird and familiar working a register again. ( I sorta miss that side of my work life; working a register again and handling money!) However it is finally over, which means my other event Walk for MS Chicago 2012 is coming up, which also means school is almost up! I do have one regret that I had not started volunteering sooner. I was so focused on this-that-myself-others people but never the greater community. Better late then never I guess!
I love my best friend! We like the same things, act the same way, and even though I've only known her for 4ish months, it feels a whole lot longer! She mah twin! Mah partner in crime! Mah buddy! And it totally feels weird working without her! <3

In other news:
The Offspring's new album will finally be out this summer! They are going on tour over the summer and while I hope they come to the States, since they are doing mostly other countries. They seem to have a trend of doing a tour in the states one year and the next year outside the US. So while I have hope they do some dates in the US they will next year!
Carlos recently sent me a link to one of the new songs that the new album has and I could not stop laughing, smiling, and seriously I had flashbacks to the Offspring from late 90's to early 00's. It has such a feel of many of the songs they played during that time! (It reminds me of "Walla Walla, Why Don't You Get a Job?, Americana, One Fine Day, Don't Pick It Up, Original Prankster, Pretty Fly (For A White Guy), Hit That" Omgosh so many. I love the song! Its the old Offspring! They also re-did Dirty Magic so I can't wait for the album! They also released "Days Gone By" from their new album titled "Days Gone By."
