With a little help from my friends

Well, after my gloomy post last night I was able to finish the day off on a high note (thanks to my room mates). First of all I need to say that my room mates are the best, and they make me laugh until I cry, which was exactly what I needed to do last night. We hung out, went grocery shopping, and my one room mate taught me how to knit! (more on that later)

I am really grateful to have such wonderful friends, I am realizing this even more now because I am leaving for Washington D.C. in January. This week I am really savoring my last days with them.

So here's to the best room mates and friends ever, Britt and Sara!

Debbie Downer

Have you ever seen this skit on SNL? Well, this is how I feel today. This day just started off on a bad foot, and ended on one as well. Today was not suppose to go like this, it was the last day of classes and I really truly only got to enjoy one class. My other classes were key players in my "Debbie Downer" Day. The day was not bad on behalf of receiving poor grades, I am actually doing quite well, but instead I am just having this overwhelming feeling that I get around finals time. This feeling that my work just isn't good enough, and I am not good enough and so on and so forth.
So I proclaim today as my free pass to be down. After today I am going to shake this feeling.

The College Girl's Trek Home

Well, it is that time again. When I pack my car to the brim and head south toward home. I have to say I am glad for the break; two eight page papers in two weeks means I need a couple of days off. Not only that, but tomorrow is Thanksgiving, and I love Thanksgiving.

Here are some reasons why:
-It is a holiday that centers around being thankful for what you have, rather than thinking about what you want.
-There are not presents involved, so the focus is solely on spending time with the ones you love.
-Last but not least, there is some pretty amazing food involved, and after a couple months of cafeteria food I am ready for a good home cooked meal.

I hope that if you are away from family you have the opportunity to travel to see them, and if not I hope you have a place to go and share the holiday with others.


Safe Traveling....

I have succumbed to blogging.....

Hello Blogging World... :)

Blogging is something I have always wanted to try. I read all of the food diary blog's, and I think they are all really interesting but I don't know if I want to turn this blog into a food diary. I think that this blog will be a representation of me as a person. I will talk about my day, things of interest, the 2008 campaign trail (Go Obama!), and of course NEWS! I am a Journalism major and double minor in political science and history. So this blog will hopefully improve my writing and get me used to the new future of journalism, the internet! Feel free to comment on whatever you like.
