Stay strong please, stay strong. I will be successful, just for you. I will see you in two weeks, so stay strong until I get back. I love you halmunni.

Summer X

I am done with undergrad. I have a whole summer to play until pharmacy school starts in August. So what will I do? play, play, work, and play some more. :)

1) Cali [5.19-6.1]

2) Chicago [sometime in June, i suppose]

3) work as CVS sometimes

4) Wedding in MD at the end of July

5) move into my new apartment the beginning of August

...there are many more things that will happen in between the list above. If you want to hang out, give me a call. I'm sure I'll just be bumming around watching movies & playing with my dog.

Time flies, I can't believe I'll be 23 this year. My birthday plans this year: dinner with a birthday buddy....thats it. no more parties for me :/ Thankfully I still look like I'm 12. I've been hearing how young I like more often lately. Its sort of frustrating, especially when I know what they're thinking. Adults don't give me respect because they think I'm one of their middle school kids' companions. Think again!!!!!! I am 22 going on to 23! About to start professional school. Haha- I suppose I'll be happy when I'm 35 when I'm the only one out of my friends getting carded for alcohol.

Anyways, cheers to the summer! Everyone have a lot of fun.. even in this scorching, humid GA weather!

Happy 90th Birthday G'ma

Happy 90th birthday Grandma.

You have lived a very long life. You will even see your youngest grandchild graduate college.

I love you halmunni, please stay healthy.

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.
