Final Countdown

What a week. First off it flew by seeing as it was only a four day week. Time has literally been passing like the speed of light and I have no idea what I have been doing with the spare time I have been lucky enough to find. Friday marked the end of Freshman year classes, such a weird thought. I cannot believe an entire year of classes has come and gone and only a mere few hours separate me and SUMMER 2010! I have a final Monday morning, Tuesday morning, and a website due before I leave on Wednesday. I started packing to try and minimize stress during finals week and it is seriously such a weird feeling. My bed had to be lowered, I have a huge suitcase of clothes, boxes filled with items I'm planning on storing at Nana and Gaffers, and all my photos and wall hanging have been taken down. But enough about that, Casey and I already had a mental breakdown about leaving for the summer haha. Anyway, yesterday we celebrated the end of Freshman year as well as Samantha's birthday. Her birthday is technically Monday but due to the fact that is the start of finals week we decided to celebrate early. We had a "Rep Your Roots" party at a house called Happy Hour and everyone either dressed up and repped their hometown or heritage. I chose the heritage route and wore a plaid kiltish skirt along with my shirt that says "Made in America from Imported Parts" and has a Welsh, Irish, Scottish, American, and Union Jack flags. Everyone looked absolutely adorable! Needless to say breakfast this morning was filled with fun and hysterical memories from the night. Everyone is trying to get motivated for studying for finals so I decided to self-isolate and do work. I typed out all the text for my final website but tomorrow I am in desperate need of actual study time. As a reward for a hard days' work, the girls and I walked to Chipotle...some place I had never been. It was about a 2 mile, 40 minute walk but the weather has been amazing so the air was still pleasant even at 8 o'clock at night. I had a chicken burrito that was to die for but now I feel as if I'm housing a small child in my stomach! We had a relaxing evening and I decided to call it an "early" night.

Wishing I was home to watch my brother's reproduction of ILLUSIONS OF GRANDEUR but sending him positive vibes. I know he has invested so much time into this so I hope everyone appreciates his hard efforts as much as they should! Break some major leg and cannot wait to see the film!!! LOVE YOU ANDREW!

Cannot believe this time four days from now I will be at home...definitely bittersweet and not looking forward to saying all my goodbyes. xo
