My New Home

"You can tell more about a person

by what he says about others
than you can by what others say about him. "

Audrey Hepburn

It's been a long two days. I just got back from visiting the University of Vermont. I was nervous that it would be the same as Pitt and I wouldn't be crazy about it. Unlike Pitt, I fell in love with the university the moment I got there. The campus, the town, the programs-- everything. It's perfect (for now). I'm really excited that I finally found my new home for the next four years.

Treasure each day

"Not to live for the day, that would be materialistic--

but to treasure the day.

I realize that most of us live on the skin--

on the surface--

without appreciating just how wonderful it is to simply be alive."

Audrey Hepburn

Read and watch

"It's that wonderful old-fashioned idea that

other come first and you come second.

This was the whole ethic by which I was brought up.

Others matter more than you do, so don't fuss, dear; get on with it."

Audrey Hepburn

This morning something great happened. I was given a copy of Breakfast at Tiffany's and Charade to watch this weekend. Since I do not own any Audrey Hepburn movies, I am extremely excited to watch them.

Also, I was given a couple books to read too. I haven't spent nearly enough time reading for leisure lately, and it makes me sad. There is not much thats better than the crisp sound of turning the page to an old book, or becoming aquainted with new characters.

"I love people who make me laugh. I honestly think it's the thing I like most, to laugh. It cures a multitude of ills. It's probably the most important thing in a person."

Helping hand?

"Remember, if you ever need a helping hand, you'll find one at the end of your arm ... As you grow older you will discover that you have two hands. One for helping yourself, the other for helping others."

Audrey Hepburn is one of my favorite women of all time. I can't help but respect her great career but what I love the most about her level of class. There are very few women who are always classy, and for this reason I look up to her as a role model and only hope I can someday be as classy as her and also self-suficent, like her quote tells us we should all be.
