| Hello my xanga dears,
I've decided that while I will be studying abroad this coming semester,
I will be writing on blogspot under http://pjenroute.blogspot.com/
(get it? Pj en route? yes, yes...)
No, I'm not leaving xanga. I'll be updating here sparsely during this coming semester, but in no way shape or form am I gone. The travel blog is specifically for those who want to read of my traveling tales and such. I'll be posting videos, pictures, and artwork that I create so it'll be a fun new thing to do!
anyways, if you're interested please visit! I'm going to try to update often. I'll be leaving on the 24th first to London, then Paris, then Rome.
See you all later, loves!
Paula
p.s. I don't know why I'm up this late/early either. just another sleepless night.

| well well well.
how my life has changed since my last post.
I'm 21, I am very much employed, my computer completely crapped out on me, I started an application to the Peace Corps, I saw Ben Harper perform, and I will be leaving the country in a month.
I am a Graphic Design Intern at a signage company. However, my title is actually now "Project Supervisor".I do a lot of pretty un-creative but interesting and important stuff, and this is supposed to be my last week... I might have an extension. All in all, I have enjoyed my very tiring last 6 weeks and 2 days.
Me and my computer had a fight. we both lost.
I am starting to think about post-graduation plans. I know I definitely want to move. Probably pretty far away. I'm thinking California or Arizona. Maybe work, maybe graduate school. Or, leaving the country and doing a mission trip or the peace corps for a few years. I'm starting to do some research. There are so many things I am interested in and want to do with my life....
I'm finally starting to look at Rome prep materials. We booked our trains and flights for traveling around europe before school starts and I got my visa and all of that, and things are looking on the up and up. I'm excited, but it still hasn't reaaally hit me.
I saw Ben Harper, and I haven't been the same ever since. His songs, especially his old ones are sooo sad but so deep and really tug at my heartstrings... It's possibly dangerous how much I have submerged myself in his music. But I love it.
Emotionally, I actually feel very...eh....meh. But I'm trying to keep that on the inside.
I'm thinking of moving my blog to blogspot. I love xanga, and always will and always said i'd never leave you!
But sometimes, you have to move on.
Some times you have to turn over leaves.
Sometimes, you just have to...grow up.
I am not even close to the person I was when I started this xanga, and either I will completely re-design my page or move onto another place... I'm unsure. I'm also thinking of getting a new youtube account.
It'll be about my travels.
I've been playing a lot of guitar as of late, and have recently purchased a Capo. I love it.
And I love you.
"They say if you love somebody you have got to set them free,
But I would rather be locked to you
than love in this pain and misery"
-Ben Harper, ofcourse.

| Hey there.
I've noticed that the only people who make somewhat frequent updates are Brandon and Nick...so hey guys, if you're reading things. I appreciate the fact that you two are still bloggin'. I'm getting back in the game...watch out.
SUMMER!
Summer
Summer
summer.
summer....
After internship upon internship fell through or were filled with people other than me...
I began to realize that I was going to be quite unemployed.
I recently decided to apply to the summer camp in Michigan my brother is working at this summer.
If that is also an epic fail, I'll be searching for random retail or receptionist jobs.
Onto something with much more substance and interest...
My last post? scratch that. People let you down, it's what they do best.
While I play the waiting game, I'm preparing for Rome in the Fall. By preparing, I really mean throwing half of my crap away. I have an unsettling amount of worldly possessions.
It hasn't gotten to the point that I am yet excited about Rome. It doesn't even really seem quite real. It's something I've been waiting for...for so long. I can't believe it's almost here. I've always wanted to travel the world.
There's just a few months to separate me from then.
Instead of wanting these months to fly by, I want to make the most of them.
We'll see how that pans out.
Any suggestions?

| Hello xanga.
I've been missing you.
My life is interesting, and it's about to get even more interesting. The end of the semester is nigh, and I'll be missing some of the people I hold dearest to me. The question is, does this have to change things? Is it possible to maintain relationships with people over a great distance?
My answer? I know it will change things. There's no way it can't. However, I think it can work if both people are invested in the said relationship.
As a practicing pessimist, my first answer would be that it is near impossible for two people to work it out in such an early stage of the relationship over a distance. However, I am also a practicing believer in God... and that part in me gives me faith. That part in me tells me that it is possible. That part in me tells me that if it is supposed to happen, it will in fact happen.
It can happen. It can work. I know it can. I just hope he wants it as much as I do.

| Just when everything seemed to seem better, everything just came crashing down.
Christmas break was going well, I enjoyed spending tons of time with my family, and I finally got to see some friends too. But then something happened. I won't get into details about what exactly because it's not my details to broadcast over the internet, but I just ask that you keep my brother Chris in your prayers. My family too. I'm scared, worried, sad...all of the above. I don't know of anything else to do but to lift him up in prayer. My usual instinct when dealing with tough situations is to run. But this time, I'm choosing fight over flight. We're going to get through this. He's going to get through this. With God's help, I know we will.
