I learned a pretty important thing today: Walgreens brand umbrellas will break when it's windy out. Luckily it wasn't raining too hard! Tomorrow's supposed to be sunny and in the 70s and I can't wait.

But I'm really just trying to get my work done ahead of time, and get through this week so I can go to Austin on Thursday, Houston on Saturday, and Florida on Sunday. I cannot wait!

If you know me at all, you know I'm really close with my family. It may be abnormal but I talk to my parents almost everyday. So as exciting as it is, I'm going on SB with my parents, but I'm actually really excited about it. It'll be a nice break, and it's nice not to have to worry about money, but I wish my sister and Brad could come with us, too bad for grad school! I'm excited and ready to go home for a while, relax, take a break off school, shop, eat my favorite foods, take it easy and see my family.

But until then, I have a couple of quizzes, a paper to rewrite, research for a 15 page research paper to turn in, and a lot of cleaning to do, but at least no tests like so many people have! Hopefully I'll get a lot of stuff done this week so I can avoid nagging from my momma when I get back to Houston.

Until next time.

Trying this again

So I originally started this blog as a class assignment that had to do with politics and really only wrote for the class. I've thought about starting a blog for a long time and decided maybe it was just time to do it... so I am!

It's kind of surreal to me that this might be my last spring semester at TCU. Weird, but exciting! The ups and downs, school and parties, finally coming to end and I'm actually kind of looking forward to it. As much as I would hate to leave the people here that I love, I know that I'll take them with me wherever I go.

I am at the point where I have some pretty important decisions to make and I never thought I'd have to do it so soon. I guess that's kind of what I get for deciding to graduate early! For a while now my plan has been to graduate, stay at TCU for the spring semester and take grad classes, or move back to Houston and start grad school at home. But lately I've been thinking that I need a shock to my system. I'm tired of playing it safe, living the boring and routine life that I've always had and always liked. I feel like it's time for me to get out there and do something different. Move somewhere far away, try and make it on my own for a while (by a while I mean 6 months but hopefully in grad school). Sometimes I just think I need a change, something completely different, where I can finally learn to try and stand on my own 2 feet. I would love to go to London or Spain and travel. I would LOVE LOVE LOVE to be able to travel in Europe, more than anything! Too bad I always think this, and say this stuff, but never do it. So maybe this time I will, lets hope!

So even if I don't end up doing anything like that.... maybe this will help me see my journey through it! To the next step in life.... I'm ready for it.... ready for something new.

But as emo as that is, and I know my roommate will hate it, it's just something I needed to say!

This week is gonna be a tough one to swallow.... spring break is so soon and I'm so ready!! No school, Austin, Houston, and Florida. I cannot wait, and luckily, no tests this week, just a couple of assignments but nothing I can't get through.

Until next time...
