All Quiet on the Blog Front

So I realize that I have been MIA for about ten days now but I have good reasons.

Number one: FINALS, need I say more?
Number two: Chicago. I traveled to the windy city with my aunt, sister, cousins, and mom. We had a good ole' time, and it was a nice little break after torturous finals.

However, I am back now and in my hometown....boo.
I will be here for a month and then it is off to Washington D.C. for the big internship! I cannot wait. To pass the time I plan on relishing this month of no responsibility by reading my days away.

Here are some of the books I plan on reading over break:

-On The Road by Jack Kerouac

-Persuasion by Jane Austen

-Howl by Allen Ginsberg




Oh, and I just picked up this copy of Vanity Fair:






I love Tina Fey, and her impression of Sarah Palin was the best!

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.
