Dreams

So a brief burst: I've decided that one day I will own my own event planning business specializing in wedding coordination. I'll do the lawyer schtick for awhile, but I don't know if my heart is in it. We'll see soon, shan't we?

I solemnly swear to update from now on.

Obsession

So I am officially done with my undergrad career. Which means we have time to kill and I have developed a new obsession: Showtime's The Tudors. I'm a sucker for historical fiction, and this is like history porn. LOVE IT.

Ready or Not

I'm ready to graduate methinks. I think if I were to stay, life would just stagnate. This kind of gives me pause about going to meet with the dean of admissions for W&M law tomorrow. I really do just want to go to RWU...I already have an apartment, a fantabulous scholarship, and I'll be so much closer to home. The opportunities are there, I just have to take advantage of them. Plus I think another 3 years in Williamsburg could be the death of me. It's not that its boring, because Bristol is no metropolis either...I think I've just been here, done that, bought the t-shirt. Which is kind of a refreshing realization. I hate that we are all scattering to the 4 winds on the one hand, but I know that we need to on the other. I mean Tom in Arizona, Ashlei in St. Louis, Clara and Paul in London, Ange and Katy and God knows who else in DC, Jules in Raleigh, Caroline in Poland, Natasha and Sarah in Norfolk, and me in Rhode Island. Thank God Kate and Kevin will be in Boston so I don't lose W&M connections completely. It's a new chapter...odd since college was as long as high school but seemed so much shorter. But I think I'm ready to turn the page.

Blowout Post Mortem

So, classes are over. At first I was uber-depressed about it, but now I'm gradually becoming more and more ready to move on. I'll still keep in touch with everyone I want to stay in contact with...it's time to go. And I think I'm actually going to be totally fine with having completed only 2/3 of the Triathlon. I can still die happy without streaking the Sunken Garden.

Yesterday was pretty sloppy...started the day with breakfast at Maggie's place out at Ludwell...pancakes, eggs, orange juice, and rum. Breakfast of champions. Then a nap because it was really much too early. Then we rang the Wren bell before a dumb sorority girl broke it and took lots of pictures. Got a taco from Operation Taco ie the awesome Methodists. Then went to the AMP office for a series of way too emotional toasts with the lovely Clara, Breah, Katy, Tom, Ashlei, Chris, Sean, Rini, and Sarah. Then toddled over to toast Landrum, Swem, and Millington 150. Then...DUPONT. Did it up with Ange, Kate, Caroline, Char, Julie, and Heather. Just like old times...we even got to go in our rooms <3. Then saw H's obnoxiously small single in Page, then Sunken Garden to return Olyvia's ID. The peppermint patty shots with the NKE seniors in Ewell and going to the school picnic. This was followed by an awesome Sister Hazel concert. Needless to say, I was smashed. Such a lightweight. Rounded the evening off with the Gentlemen concert and the IV Pancake House (+ last String Theory concert.) Busy day, but lovely. Didn't wake up today until 4pm, which is insanity.

Called Mom, and Mimi is thin and Pop Pop a bit better. Mom is getting them to eat though, and their neighbor brought over a TON of food. So hopefully things will improve in the Lone Star state.

Not particularly tired since I've been awake for a grand total of 9 hours, so I think I'll start Succeeding in Law School and Law School Confidential. In other news, I really need more meds. Egads.

Short

Allergies are making me feel poopy. Also, OCD is acting up and I had to reschedule my appointment with Dr. Noveras. Probably because I'm freaking about graduation, but it's wigging me out. Plus I'm out of Klonopin. Bah.

Took The Good Thief back to Swem because I wasn't feeling it. Got Sweetsmoke instead, which looks much better. Ran into Ange, and we're coordinating our Dupont toast for Friday. I'm getting pumped for Sister Hazel, too. Woop woop. And yay for no classes. Not that I've been going much anyways. Oops.

A-CHOO

Allergies....aaaaack. Also, spent an embarrassing amount of time on Pixie Hollow after reading about it on FML. I am officially too much of a little kid to graduate. Had two group projects today, a senior 20 days 'til graduation kickoff, and the 2nd day of 90 degree weather. Crazy! AND, tomorrow I'm getting my money in the mail so I can get out of debt. Life is good. Though sneezy.

Wanna Be On Top?

Didn't do nearly all I wanted do today. Managed to give Maggie her paints back, then got HIV tested at her AIDSTanzania event...negative! Phew. It's 90% accurate, so of course I'll worry about that 10%, but hey, I don't have HIV, so huzzah. Everyone should know their status! Then popped over to Homebrewaroo for our own mini-Woodstock. Cool glassblowing demonstrations, organic food, chill acoustic music, tie dying, and hippies. What more could you want? Oh, beautiful weather you say? GOT IT. In the 90s today, and not humid! I do wish I had gotten to go kayaking, but it's OK. Enjoyed the beautiful day anyway. Natasha came back from EVMS, so I'm not all alone anymore. Did a little bit of work for the group project meetings tomorrow. Gonna be so happy when those are done.

Watching ANTM marathon with the roomie, and they're in Barcelona. Makes me want to travel so badly! I've never been to Spain, and it just seems so great. Makes me excited for study abroad in law school in Lisbon and London! I'll need to pick up some Portuguese! And Spanish really for that matter. It is definitely going to be international law for me, even if it's something else with an international bent. I could never not travel.

In other news, the flowers in the room are attacking! Nat and I are sneezing machines, but they're too pretty to throw out! Oh the trials of witnessing beauty ;)
