8 Years in Athens

For months, I wondered where I will be in Fall 2010. I was so nervous I wasn't going to get in anywhere when I started researching pharmacy schools. I had such low confidence and didn't have faith in myself. Thankfully, I proved myself wrong and I am one step closer to becoming a pharmacist. Finally, the answer has been revealed. I am going to reject my Shenandoah acceptance and accept UGA's invitation.

It would have been nice to move out of Georgia for once and live on my own, but I don't think I am ready to leave my comfort zone yet. I will be living in Athens for another 3-4 years depending on where I go for my 4th year. I am super excited, but scared at the same time. It is going to be a lot of hard work... & I know that because I watch my pharmacy school friends study their butts off for hours a day just for one test. I am sure I will be able to do it because I can never get myself to just slack off. I am ready for the battle!

Now that I am in, I have been super lazy. It has only been one full day since I've known & all I do is just think about how happy I am and where I am going to live next year. I have a pile of tests, projects, and quizzes left this semester, but I can't find the motivation to finish strong. Someone give me the strength to finish... & to see Alton Brown at my commencement!

I am proud to call myself a UGA bulldawg - both UGA undergrad & pharmacy school :)

little moments

It is finally spring break. I am just ready to sit back & relax. I can't wait until Savannah/Tybee Island with the roomies & beaus. :) It will be quite fun, but I hope the rain doesn't ruin it. Why does it have to rain the three days we are going??? This is cloudy spring break, not sunny, pretty spring break.

First time going out this semester & it was quite fun. I always have a great time hanging out with the girls. Can't believe we'll all be going our separate ways in May. :/

College is flying by so quickly. I can't believe its already spring break. Soon it will be May 8th, 2010. I'll be in my cap & gown in Sanford Stadium. Ah, it will be a bittersweet moment. Hope my grandma can make it to the graduation. She is turning 90 this year & it'll be an exhausting day for her. I want her to see her last grandchild graduate from college, it will make her happy. :)

wish everyone a happy spring break & be safe!

Things I want to do before I leave

I am home alone in Athens on a weekend, so it gets me thinking. I may be in Athens for another 4 years, but if that doesn't happen, I have so many things I want to do before I leave.

1. visit the UGA Botanical Garden, possibly during the Spring when all the flowers are bloomed

2. go on the Mayfield ice cream creamery tour (I know its on 316, but I still want to go before the school year ends)

3. Terrapin Brewery (drink, drink, & drink!)

4. bar hop around bars I haven't been to ... because I am getting tired of the regulars.

5. go back to all the yummy restaurants I love in Athens. 5 and 10, Last resort, etc (if only I had all the $$ in the world)

6. take pictures with all the bulldog statues around campus

7. jog around in the intramural trails

8. try new restaurants (in the progress)

&& more. (I'll add when I think of more)

I thought being home alone will help my studies, but I find ways to distract myself. I went to kroger to buy funfetti mix (AGAIN!), keep listening to music, checking my facebook, and now its a blog post. Haha.

Where will I be by the end of 2010

this is my first blog ever, so gimme some slack ;)

I have so many decisions to make & many things to look forward to this upcoming fall. I may be in a completely new setting in VA or in athens, my comfort zone. I am very bad at trying NEW things and going somewhere I haven't been. Maybe its because I am scared things will go wrong. Even at restaurants, I tend to go back to the "usual" dish.

If I move up to Winchester, VA I will learn more about myself & learn to live on my own. If I stay in Athens, I will be around the usual people and stay in my comfort zone. My ultimate decision will be based on money $$. Which school is cheaper? UGA definitely. I love it here & I don't think I am ready to leave just yet. However, I am excited to move on and explore-- in the boonies of VA. I will be surrounded by a new town and new people. Please bear with me on this journey. I am sure I will make the right decision-- cross your fingers & hope I hear good news. :)

shall write more later. thanks for visiting!
