In 68 days my life is going to change. I am going to become a college graduate.
I remember watching all of my senior friends last year who thought that graduation was an evil word, and dreading the day they actually had to do it. I am the complete opposite, I want time to speed up so it can get here faster. I just want to be done with this chapter of my life, and I am beginning think that this is the way it should be. You should be excited to graduate and go make your mark on the world. I still don’t know what that “mark” will be, but I know I can’t make it here. Plus part of the excitement of life is not knowing what is going to happen next but enjoying the ride. So that is what I plan on doing. I am going to enjoy the next 68 days in The Burrow before I worry about my after graduation plans and then I am going to enjoy being surrounded by my family as I figure out my life.
Sounds like a pretty good plan to me.

Thug Nasty
During the 2008 Summer Olympics I fell in love.
As usual I watched gymnastics, swimming and diving as often as I could. However this year, unlike the years before, I became extremely invested along with the rest of my family. I still remember watching each one of Michael Phelps’ races and being nervous that he was going to loose. I still remember where I was when I watched him win his 8th gold medal and how excited I was. I fell in love with him, however this love didn’t last for to much longer. What did last, was my love for Nastia Liukin. I watched each one of the gymnastic events and I loved the US team. While my love for the US team grew, my dislike for the Chinese team grew as well. I was so excited for each medal that the US team won, but my excitement was unparalleled when Nastia Liukin won her medal. So, so happy!!!
My love for her has continued to this day, when I think of amazing gymnast, I think of her. I named my phone after her, and it quickly got the nickname Thug Nasty. Each time I watch Stick It I smile when I see her on screen. When I drive through her hometown I get excited. During my trip I had the opportunity to see her leotard in the Smithsonian and I jumped at the chance. All day I looked forward to seeing her leotard and even though it was a piece of clothing in a glass case it was amazing. One of the moments where I was just so thankful for all of the opportunities in my life.

I AM BACK
...Sort of.
I returned from my trip two weeks ago but I haven't gotten around to posting anything. This is for two reasons:
1. Jet-lag was kicking my butt. My body wanted me to wake up at 3am and go to sleep at 9pm. I powered through and I am back on a normal-ish sleeping schedule.
2. School started this week. The course load isn't to heavy so far but I am still adjusting to having class after being away for two months.
I am going to put forth effort to actually have new ideas so I can post more often and I am hoping this will be easier once I am back into a routine. Until then please enjoy my face.

AWOL
Surprise, Surprise it has been 15 days since I even thought about looking at my blog. Sorry. I have been crazy busy preparing for Christmas and spending time with my family. Plus I do my best thinking late at night when I am trying to sleep which hasn’t happened lately, since I am on break. Which is good and bad I suppose.
Good: I actually fall asleep when I want to.
Bad: I don’t have any genius thoughts, they are all mundane.
What all this rambling and apologizing for is to tell you this, I am about to embark on what may be the greatest adventure of my short life. Washington DC, London England, and Valleta Malta here I come. This will be the farthest from home I have ever been and my first time out of the country. I am very excited and can not wait to embark on this adventure. I do have the appropriate amount of nervousness running through my body but the excitement outweighs it. This can mean good and bad things for this blog as well.
Good: When I am flying to London in the middle of the night I won’t be able to sleep, meaning genius thoughts will appear.
Bad: I will go AWOL and forget about this blog and I will never update again. Only time will tell. See you on the other side…or not.

Finals Week
I hate finals week, and it isn’t for the reasons you would think. Yes I hate the tests and papers but if I am honest those are more annoying than anything. I have known about these tests and papers since the first day of the semester. I have had time to prepare these assignments, usually I don’t, but I have had the time. So this is not a surprise.
What I really hate is the library, and once again not for the reasons you might think. I don’t study in the library, never have, never will. The library is my work place and that is all. I watch the library all semester with barely anyone in it, but once finals rolls around everyone and their dog is setting up camp. When I work I like to listen to my musicals play list and dance around and sing in the stacks. During finals there are people scattered throughout the stacks studying. There are people hanging out on my stage, how rude. These people are hogging my spotlight. However, do these people stop me from performing? Oh no. Now I just have to watch out and make sure I don’t accidentally booty bump a studying student. Those lucky bitches get to see me perform.
I really wish I could of made this into a dramatic poem. Or a rap
