It's true that:

I just ate some awesomely good celery
I'm leaving for Colorado the day after tomorrow
I've fallen in love with Guster
I'm moving to the condo in 21 days
I used a meat slicer a lot this summer
Virginia is beautiful
I bought a pink laptop
I bought a hot pink polka dot laptop case
I've yet to receive either of the above mentioned in the mail
I only have 4 days of work left this whole summer
I'll be an aunt in September
Fred Thompson would make a good president
Diet Coke is the stuff
It's worth it to pay more and get the good shampoo
A duck's quack won't echo
Unicorns are superior to reindeer in every possible way
My mom's sucked me into the Vera Bradley cult
Online banking is pretty easy
Teenagers at camp have called me Miss Emily
My friends are too wonderful
I really miss my Grandmother
I'm almost 20
My family is incredible
Facebook useage is at an all-time high
I'm freezing
Umbrella is a totally hot song
My pillow still smells really good
My dad bought a book about birds of Virginia
Some mushrooms sprouted up in our front yard overnight
Harry Potter and I share a birthday and a forehead scar
Italy is an adventure
I will be attending chapel at FC for the next 2 years
Being a Camp Friend is possibly the best job in the world

If anything could have gone by faster than last semester, it was this one. I can't even believe that I just graduated from FC, where on earth is my life going? I don't even know what I'm doing with myself and I'm starting to get a little nervous. I DO know that I'm going back to FC for two more years, but I don't even really know why. It just kind of seemed to fall into place. I'm so excited to be back in Tampa with a good majority of my friends, but I just can't get around the fact that FC is over and some of my best friends are gone. That doesn't mean that I'm in the pits of despair, I just know that some things will be different.

I am really excited for this summer though. I have about 100 places to go and then I'm heading back to Tampa again in August. I'm doing Camp Friends and I have 4 of those scattered through out the summer. I'm doing Indiana, Ohio, Virginia, and Colorado. I've never even been to some of those places so that should be amazing. The responsibility of it all is starting to sink in, and I'm just not sure why on earth I'm someone who's been put in a position to be a role model for kids. I'm thrilled that I get to do it, but I'm also a little nervous about it...but mainly just excited:)

AND I'm going to Italy with one of my best friends in this world and her family in July! I've never planned on making a big trip like that, but it was just another one of those things that just happened. I'm so so thankful that my parents are letting me do that. I can't even wait.

That's it...a whole semester in 3 paragraphs. Enojy and feel free to do a spell check because I sure didn't.

OH! And I'm ridiculously excited to be an Aunt soon and very soon! Loren Grace should be showing her beautiful face sometime in September and I can't even stand it I'm so excited!

leaving on a jet plane

On my flight home, this very evening, I met this guy who talks more than any human being I've ever come in contact with; and that's quite the feat. Oh MAN, this guy talked to me the ENTIRE time and I really just wanted to bust out my iPod, but who could even find five seconds to get it out? Not me!

Well it actually turned out to be okay and he was real nice, but let's just say it's a fine line between "Hi, I'm friendly!" and "Hi! I'm going to make you want to kill yourself!" And he came perilously close to crossing it.

But it's all good cause now I'm home...so good...

P.S. Sometimes it freaks me out how much I'm like my dad. But then I just remember how cool he is and it's all good, man oh man.

Happy Thanksgiving!
