It's amazing how Dashboard can bring me back to so many memories.  I remember when I thought life was so difficult but it was so easy by today's standards.  Today I started crying because my request to postpone my student loans was declined.  I remember in high school, when I first discovered DC I hadn't even thought about student loans, debt or ( Read more... )

I'm not sure how or why I let myself stop writing for almost a year.  I haven't written anything since graduating a year ago.  To boot, I can't believe it's been almost a year since I finished school and moved away from Oxford for good.  It's really upsetting that the economy got as terrible as it did in time for me to finish school.  I have a ( Read more... )

Why is it that your first post-college birthday prompts people to ask you if you want "Something small and shiny" if you've been together for at least a year.  I'm only 23 today, is this the age at which young, educated, talented women should be getting married and settling down?
To quote the great DMB, who put my feelings into words better than my ( Read more... )

I think I only waited three years for this to happen.  It's finally here and I'm 100 percent positive the wait was worth it.  I'm so incredibly happy...words don't describe.  My life is going so well right now.  I walked in graduation a couple weeks ago, now I have 10 credit hours of summer classes and I'll be an official graduate of Miami ( Read more... )

It's over, pretty much.  What a fucking year.  I can't sleep and it's driving me crazy and I can't stop thinking about people I shouldn't be thinking about.

So I've been here for like a month and two weeks-ish.  I go home in like less than three (maybe?).  Today I realized I'm pretty much ready to come home.  I want to be back in Oxford/ Cincy with all my friends and such.  I also miss mi familia.  I want to be hoooome.  I have 20 books for this semester, which seems impossible.  I'm looking forward to ( Read more... )

It's 1:47 am and I leave for the airport at 3:30 am.  My flight leaves Dayton at 5:40 am.  I land in Boston sometime after that, then head to Maine which will take four hours ( Read more... )

countdown for Maine: 44 days.  I can't wait to not be in Ohio for two months and experiencing something totally different than I have ever done.  I want to meet new people, and hang out with Sarah.  I plan on using the opportunity to lose weight.  I guess they have a state of the art gym for the workers.  Sarah and I want to work out several times ( Read more... )

I turned 21 on friday.  Went to dinner at Alexander House with Mom, Dad and Erin.  Dinner/champagne/martini were stellar...company was even better!  I got a bottle of Skyy vodka, a bottle of wine and a bottle of 1800 THAT SOMEONE FUCKING STOLE.  We went to the bars, and I ended up seeing a guy who graduated who used to write for the Miami Student ( Read more... )

It's true...as of midnight I'm officially 21!

Everyone buy me a drink and tell me I'm amazing.

:-)

Everything is perfect right now...I love my life
