Look! I'm updating!
Hello! It's been a long time since I've updated, but thanks to my changing facebook picture I'm guessing no one was too worried about me falling off the planet or getting abducted.
I'm done with my first year of college! Since I am not going to be insane and try to double major in business (oh wait...an extra two years of school can't be that bad...) only three more to go! Unless I go to grad school right after college.
College was alright--I found it not as great as it was cracked up to be but I have two good friends, my roommate and my friend John Mark, as well as my fabulous boyfriend. I learned that lunch time conversations go a bit different in a coed environment then at an all-girls school. Example:
Me: *Comes back with ice cream, a green glove used to scoop is on lunch tray.*
Joe: "That looks like a glove you would use for a prostate exam!"
Me: "---"
Matt: *Coming back from getting more fries, had not heard previous comment.* "Who had the prostate exam?"
Me: "This is so weird."
...Conversation proceeds about how none of the three boys (I was the only girl there), would rather die from cancer then have a prostate exam, then onto stories about how their dads had nearly fainted while their mothers were giving birth to them.
This summer I am BUSY! I am working at the Dept. of State starting Monday full-time and on weekends I work at Delia's. June 27th I go back to CNU for a couple of days before flying to London since I am going to study at Harris Manchester College, part of the University of Oxford for the first two weeks of July. It's pretty awesome, CNU is paying for tuition, room & board, as well as food. I only have to write lots of papers in return. Then I'm flying to Sweden to spend time with my now senile grandmother (she had a stroke a couple of months ago) but my mom wants me to "activate" her and get her moving. I'll spend 10 days in the middle of nowhere Sweden "activating" and trying to seem cool to my cousins.
After that I'm flying to Vienna where I'll meet my cat in the airport since my dad is arriving an hour later than me, and we'll go to our new home in Vienna! We're being transferred there for the next three years. However, I'll still be going to CNU.
Even though I'm busy, I'm still around and would love to spend time with you as you all return from college!
