And Here's May's.
Sorry for the short cut stop at the end of the previous blog. I figured I should leave some stuff for May. :)
I'm soon 22. Don't really have any opinioins about that. I stayed up until 5 AM to watch the Royal Wedding of William and Kate. I'm glad I did. It was a good night. Osama bin Laden has finally been located and taken out. That's headline news! The annual Wheeler Block Party ended in a riot. Not too happy with that, but I won't rant because I've already done that.
Really, the focus of this month is that I graduate from college. And, I'm not all too sure how I really feel about it. I mean, yes, I am going to be glad to be done with assignments and classes and tests, but I'm going to miss pretty much everything else. Well, except dorm food. Even though Macomb, to me, is noisy, I'll miss having everything and everyone so close. After I graduate, my friends will be miles away. In some cases 3 hours away. In most cases really. I've really had a very good time this year. I would like to thank all my friends for being there for me and for all the good times we've been having.
Moving on from college is going to be like culture shock. I mean, I've been in school of some sort since I was 5. That's 17 years of my life that I've been in school!! It's almost like all of a sudden I have to grow up. Actually, that is probably the point. But, who knows if I will or won't go back to school to earn my Masters. Or maybe I'll do some more travelling. What I really know at this point in time is that I'm going to have to start paying school off and my goal is to accomplish this daunting task in less than 10 years. In other words, spending is going to be tight. But, on purpose. I realize 10 years goes by faster than one can imagine (case and point 10 years ago I was almost 12) but I don't want to have to dish out money for school that long. Not to mention, I'm going to have other expenses to look after. It should be an interesting time in my life, trying to make ends meet as well as I possibly can.
Here's to the Future!

There Went April . . . Ooops!
Soooo, April. Yeah. Meant to blog. Can't believe I didn't, other than being busy. Which isn't really an excuse seeings how I'm still busy and writing a blog now.
April seemed to fly by. Lots of reading for classes, keeping up with papers and other homework. The weather has been all over. Really warm and then really cold and a frost warning out for the next few days (even though I'm talking about May right here).
A lot of things have fallen to the wayside. Reading anything other than assigned books, any sort of relaxation, and healthy eating habits. We're down to the wire now. I have been writing a lot, hanging out with friends, attempting to excersize somewhat regularly, and enjoying (for the most part) my last few months here at Western. I think I'm doing a pretty good job of attempting to keep up with everything, even though a good Agatha Christie novel would do me some good at the moment.

"March Madness" Is About Right
So, I just looked up and realized that March is quickly flying past. Therefore, I decided to stop and take a moment to acknowledge its existance (and smell the flowers).
If you didn't get this from my first two sentences, ITS BEEN BUSY!
But, on the other hand (for the most part) it has been fun. It's college, of course it's fun. Well, classes . . . eh, but we all knew that.
Now that we've gone and done Spring Break (a trip to visit my Gram), I've settled in to a sort of groove, disrupted every once in a while by "senioritis". I think that just comes with the territory. I've been writing a lot (which I LOVE) and I've started running fairly regularly-ish. My sleep schedule is a bit off, but that's life.
I cannot believe how close graduation is. I don't know what to expect afterwards, I don't really know what I want out of a career. In other words: It should be interesting!
Well, that was a random post to keep a person on their toes. Random thoughts from a late/early time in the morning . . . however you wish to view it. A bit of the glass half full or half empty except more of a . . . night owl or early bird twist. Well, there you are, cheers!

Dear February, You crack me up!
Hiya! So, February!
-Snowpacolypse. Meaning 20 inches of snow and 2 snow days off. Beautiful.
-A week later temperatures reaching to 70 degrees F followed by a cold front reducing the temperatures to 50?! Lovely!
-Rehearsals!! I'm stage managing the production All My Sons here at Western! :D BUSY!
-I graduate in a few months. (Excited) Classes are very busy. (of course) Including my most difficult class of my college/uni career. (EEK!)
So, I've been a bit stressed, but that doesn't seem to be anything new. I'm trying to get everything together, but it's a bit difficult with everything on my plate. The play opens this Wednesday (Feb. 23) so it will be over by the end of this coming week. (An exciting and yet sad prospect as I've really enjoyed working on this show!) However, I've also missed writing. Over Winter Break I got into a groove (writing-wise) and it has been put on hold a bit for the show. But, now that the show is coming to a close, I'm looking forward to being able to write a lot again.
I suppose that is really all that is going on besides missing England every once in a while (or a lot) and yup, that's about it.

Happy 2011 Time!!!
Well Happy 2011!!
It seems not so long ago when we just hit 2000 but now it's officially 11 years later. Crazy, I know.
Well, this new year finds me ready to go back to university and leave my job behind until summer. It has been frustrating and I think I know I'm not meant to work retail for the rest of my life. A good thing to know at this point in my life.
However, I'm very anxious about my last semester of Uni. It's probably going to prove to be the most difficult semester of my college career and that is saying something. I thought this past semester was difficult, having to re-adjust to Western like I did. But, I made it through, with decent grades as well!
I'm going to be doing a LOT of reading this semester, not to mention a 15-25 page paper worth 40% of one of my grades. And, a week after we start back, I'm beginning my second stage managing job for the school year. I'm excited, but at the same time it's going to add a bit of stress to the first 6 weeks of the semester. I hope it will be worth it though!!
For the record, I would like to point out that when I say 'a lot of reading' I mean a LOT. I have ordered my books on Amazon this semester because there are 19 of them. I think I saved a lot by shopping on Amazon. But 19. 19!! It's gonna be one helluva semester.
I would also like to put in writing my hopes for the year. They are as follows:
-Write my heart out. (Translation . . . WRITE LOTS AND LOTS)
-Exercise lots
-Get a job in my career field (please, please, please!!)
-Save lots of money for all the different things I need/want very much
Yup. There we are. Goals. It's always nice to have goals. End of. :)
I feel like I should recap this past year, but I think it would be very near to impossible. It's been a strange sort of year really. That's my 2010. Strange. It began in Paris and ended in Illinois. A strange sort of year that I would live over 2010 times again if I could. I saw Barcelona, London, Vegas, and the humble little town of Macomb. It's come full circle, I think.
Here's to 2011 and whatever it may bring to us all!!!
