To expand (since apparently I confuzzled some eager readers ;-) ... )

Fourth SAE engagement within 2 months. Craziness, what the hell is in the water over here?

Sheila is now officially a Fenwick Friar Class of 2011. I am SO ready to vicariously re-live my high school experience. Oh yes, it will be psychologically unhealthy galore!

Sheila also won $75 off of a scratch of Lotto ticket given to her by my aunt. *JEALOUS*

I have realized that I am so much more content when I learn to let go of crap. When I just stop caring about things all of a sudden those things get 100 times better. I should really learn to stop getting so involved in petty details that really shouldn't make or break my hapiness.

Also, I find myself jealous of my cousin who is graduating this May. I know that deep down I don't really mean that because I know I have a good life going on down here and the real world is going to hit be hard when I graduate. Ugh, that whole "finding a job" thing. But at the same time I have so much to look forward to in other aspects of my life and I think that deeper down I AM ready to graduate and move on with my life outside of Peoria/Bradley/Here.

Also I REALLY need to figure out the details of my summer plans. It's seriously sneaking up on me and I am not prepared in the slightest.

I really miss home. And people from home. And my parents aren't even going to be home for my spring break. I think I shall return for Easter then. And I think that I need to visit UofI soon because that is where Caryn is. And I need for it to be Spring Break so I can see Johanna. And man is it cold in my room ...

Right. Goodnight all!

So much to process today:

More engagements, front pages of papers, high school acceptances, lottery winnings ...

On another note, I am so homesick these days.

More coherent post later ... maybe.

*ah* and yesterday was what a snow day is supposed to be like ...

I should have been productive with my gift of free hours thanks to a psuedo snow day Bradley style. Instead I lazed about, watched The Departed, and generally did nothing with a great group of people :-) and I don't regret it one bit!

Happy Valentine's Day to ALL my loves :-)

5 Minute post because that's all the time I can spare ...

Life is crazy. Insane. Busy. What was I thinking taking 15 course hours, organizing a philanthropy event, and doing PR and publications for Panhel? In addition to working two job I might add. I don't have time to think about tomorrow, because I have so much to accomplish today. It sure as hell makes me appreciate the times few and far between that I get to goof off with my roommates or catch up with old friends. And REALLY appreciate the times that I get to actually get out and do something fun!

Lots of musing I could do regarding growing up, graduating in three semesters, and not having a clue where I am going from there ... I mean I've got a lot more than other people figured out. The whole personal life issue is pretty set. Which is very comfortable and gives me a lot to look forward to. But the professional side of things is somewhat murky and honestly I'm very unmotivated to try and fix that ... I know all the things I should do and all the things I should be thinking about ... but instead I just focuz on thinking about how I'm NOT thinking about them ...

I have a very life will get me where I need to go, and things will just work out ...

Probably not the best approach.

I suppose that I am lucky to be so busy this semester, racking up some "real world experience" that my teachers seem to be talking about so much these days. Apparently it can help get me a job ... if only I knew what that job was ...

It's really not too far away until I need to be figuring out where to apply ...

Ugh. THis was supposed to be a five minute nonsensical blurb. But then I opened it up while at work and got on this awful tangent. Let's close it.

Miss everyone from home, actually miss I had MORE time in which to miss them, cuz I don't really get tiem away from doing things to think about it ... But I am very much looking forward to Spring Break. Gaelic Storm and Madison Street and St. Patrick's Day and Johanna and 21 year olds, and most importantly time to RELAX!!!
