I just got back from barista training at Peet's Coffee and Tea in Fremont, and I feel I have accomplished one of those secret little goals that everyone has when they're young and idealistic and going to college. And that was to be a barista in Seattle. I actually steamed a perfect pitcher of milk on my first time and pulled some delicious shots and simply had an awesome time with Megan and Allison, my incredibly amazing co-workers. I feel like I'm a part of a little family at the store and it's such a great feeling and it's also nice to have a break from school and be making some money to go towards tuition.
Other than working and homework, nothing much has happened. I got an interview for the Mary Gates Leadership Scholarship, which is a scholarship for students who have developed a leadership project. My project is the Earth Club "Green Team" and the greening of the Center for Experiential Learning, an office of a staff of 30 which houses about five or six different UW offices (scholarship office etc). It's a huge, groundbreaking project and we're all really pumped to make our plans for this office (carbon neutrality, alternative paper sources, composting) a reality. It's quite inspiring.
It was also Halloween and appropriately enough, I was a dirty, barefoot hippie (sans granola, I'm sorry to say) with aviator sunglasses. It was actually the best costume I've ever had. I smeared eye shadow and bronzer all over my face and chest and I really looked sunburnt and dirty. It was brilliant and so so much fun! I want to be a dirty hippie all the time, but alas, I enjoy showering. In my soul I'm a dirty hippie I suppose.
I love you all and enjoy the pictures below. Hopefully I will be seeing some of you at Thanksgiving! Happy Turkey (Tofurkey!) Month!

Yup, I'm pretty cool.
