I really can not be any happier. What a change I am thankful for.  I have been going to Boston a lot, and having a blast.

College is over; I did really well this semester.  I am now a Mathmatics minor, with a major in Biological Science/Pre-Medicine.  I’m really starting to study everything, and even went out and bought a few MCAT study books, since I will be taking the test not-so-long into the future.  It is both scary and exciting, but I am sure whatever is thrown my way I can handle with a great boyfriend and a great family by my side.

I am honestly a new, carefree person.  I have never been so calm in my life.  Regardless of the happenings throughout the day, I go to bed realizing I am so much more myself now.  I have really matured a lot recently (having an older boyfriend will do that to you, I suppose).

This year I am going to be starting my undergraduate research at my college, so I am really excited about that.  As of right now I am doing a lot of volunteering, relaxing, spending time with my grandparents, and visiting my boyfriend.  On Saturday I went to the New York Mets vs. New York Yankees game, which of course my team lost.  Shem is a Yankees fan though, so he had a good time.  It was our six-month anniversary this past Thursday, so I thought that would be a great present

The best thing is, there is still so much fun to be experienced this summer, and I can not wait!

… life is always changing. Sometimes it comes and goes in waves, like the beat of the ocean.  Or sometimes it has an odd beat, like a heart muscle palpitating in the thoracic cavity.  Sometimes it varies day by day just like the days of the four seasons vary.  Regardless, it always changes – the question is, do you change with it,  or do you get lost within it?

I have changed a lot since my last last post here on this domain.  I have grown and matured in ways I can’t even begin to describe.  I have met a wonderful man, and I am happy.  I have stopped biting my nails because I have felt stress-free.  I have been doing good in my classes, and am starting to even do my own undergraduate science research on phthalates.  I have also been looking into student groups, professional groups, medical schools, and so forth.  I have really been trying to figure out what I want to do with my life and what makes me happy the most.  I am blessed that I love science and everything to do with science, so my possibilities are endless.

My faith and spirituality has been renewed the past few months.  The power of prayer is truly amazing, and what a gift it truly is.  Many of my prayers have been answered through the delivery of my boyfriend to me.  I know that is so cliche to say, but I always speak the truth.  I was always convinced good things happen to good people, so I have always tried and will always try to be the best person I could be every day I am given the greatest gift of all – another breath, another second, another chance.  There is someone out there that won’t receive that precious gift come tomorrow… so if it is me, I am glad that I lived today to the best of my ability.

Our story is quite an amazing one, we actually first came into contact with each other on a political forum, and then actually physically met at this huge political rally in DC.  It’s great to know he has the same political ideologies as I do.  He is a true American patriot, and I find that amazing.  Our quest to bring back the Constitution is better together, no doubt, but I am a bit biased.  There’s only one tiny thing about this man that is going to take a while to get used to… he is a New York Yankees fan.  And what team does Nikki despise with every bone in her body?  The Yankees.  Who is the Yankees rival team in the greatest city in the world, New York City?  The New York Mets.  What is my favorite baseball team?  The Mets.  This is going to be pretty interesting, no doubt.  But in the end; the Mets will be victorious this year and all will be good.

Life has just been amazing.  I’ve never been happier.
