Someone Special :)
Life is great right now! I cannot even begin to talk about how truly happy I am. All I can say is that some people come into your life for a reason, and that I'm looking to the future with a happy heart. I hope this works out the way I want it to...

LAU (Life After Undergrad): A "To Do" List
O. M. G. I graduate tomorrow. Ahhhhhhhh! What the heck am I going to do with no papers, so studying, no tests?!? Hopefully update my blog more. :) But I've got a list of things that I want to do after graduation, and I thought I'd share them with you:
1.) Take a vacation--I haven't been on one since I was 14.
2.) Buy a turtle
3.) Start dance classes or voice lessons
4.) Audition for plays/commercials
5.) Build a dollhouse
6.) Go to church and study the Word more frequently
7.) Cut my hair REALLY short (like, pixie)
8.) Write more poetry and participate in more open mics/slams
9.) Find and awesome job WITH BENEFITS
10.) Exercise
11.) Take pictures
12.) Go to cultural things (museums, plays, etc.)
13.) Read classic literature--I'm starting a summer reading list; please give me some suggestions.
14.) Save lots of money
15.) Pamper myself occasionally
16.) Learn to make pies/cook more in general
17.) Scrapbook
18.) Have a yard sale
19.) Go out and meet more people
20.) Watch every single episode of 'Daria'
21.) Study for/take the GRE and figure out if grad school is the next step for me
These are just some of the random things I've come up with for my life after college. I'll keep you posted on how I'm doing. Graduation pics will be posted on Sunday!

Getting there...
Ooh, girls. It has been quite some time since I've updated this bad boy. I know, I know--I'm messing up my New Year's resolution because I haven't been updating weekly, but it's been hella busy 'round these parts. So please bear with me.
First up, I graduate in 10 days! I can't believe I'm practically a college graduate. Right now I'm still burning the early morning oil in the computer lab finishing up papers for a few of my classes. I've still got finals week to go but I'm almost to the finish line (thank God). These have been the best four years of my life (so far) and I really can't believe they're almost over. I feel like I'll still go to the library and pretend to study for things just so I can have something to do in my free time.
Speaking for doing things in my free time, I've decided that I either want to start taking dance classes again or take up voice lessons as a hobby. I think I want to audition for plays and commercials and things; it's something I've always wanted to do and I might as well do it while I'm still young, right? I've always loved performing and doing either of these two things will allow me to do what I love on a regular basis.
Also, I competed in my first poetry slam today! I was really nervous about reading my poetry aloud--it's totally different than competing in speech. In speech, if someone hates your literature, you can always blame it on the author; in a slam, it's your original work that's up for criticism (or at least you're supposed to compete with your original work). But I had a blast and will probably post some of my poetry on here for y'all to read and comment on. I need to make sure that it's going to be copywritten though--I can't have some random person trying to jack my poetry swag, lol.
Anyhow, I supposed I should get back to studying. I just needed a break from all of this school business. I'm going to make an effort to update more frequently--after graduation I'll probably have more time, but I have to get internet in my apartment first. :) Until next time...
