Counting Down!

Okay my favorite people, my readers, I'm sharing with you exciting news this week!

I'm graduating college December 2013!

I got the reassurance that I needed last Tuesday (Jan.15) from an adviser at the very top.

And here's the countdown timer to my Paris trip!

Shown in local time of course but still exciting.

I have a couple really big kinks to work out with the university over this trip but I'm sure that by the week's end I'll have it all settled and I'll let you guys know for sure what the plan is.

I thought about creating a timer for graduation too but seeing as I have a younger brother graduating high school this May, I thought that I would be nice and not outshine him. He deserves to have some limelight too.

Anyway, this past week has been a little crazy. I have had practices for the fashion show and I'm getting really good at walking in heels. Granted, they aren't crazy high heels but I feel good walking in them except that my feet get so cold! If only my sexy boots were insulated.

I keep getting distracted by watching the seconds tick away on the timer up there...

I started an alternate ending to a story this weekend. I'm hoping to have both endings finished by Cassi's birthday on February 5th. (Now everyone has to go wish her a happy birthday. No excuses). We'll see what happens but it's coming along really well. I really like this new twist and it might replace what I have already but I want to wait until it's finished before making that decision.

The Brit has made plans to come back for Cassi's birthday! I'm kind of really excited to tell you the truth. We are going to have so much fun.

Watch out world, Cassi is 21 years old!!!

She's going to give me a dirty look for that but I think I'll survive.

Oh! I'm officially the "Girl on Fire" now. I know that many of you won't understand the Hunger Games reference in that but Ginny gave me a beautiful necklace as a late Christmas present this week (having her sister deliver it).

That's my handwriting up there in the picture, just in case you're wondering.... a sloppy mess, I know...

I also had dinner with the girls of the French House this past Friday. I felt super classy and we had some quite lovely conversation in which I was asked to display my Spanish speaking skill. I felt super self-conscious and got all read in the face of course but they believed that I was awesome so I guess that can be alright in my book.

After dinner, having been working previously on my alternate ending, I decided that a coffee pick-me-up was a grand idea. Of course my idea of a pick-me-up backfired a little when after a latte with  shots of espresso, I was falling asleep in my chair, only a couple hours later. It was a sad night for caffeine.

Pizza with my first floor Chapman girls on Saturday night, followed by Dairy Queen which left me sitting on my bed shivering while trying to watch a movie. I was so tired that I don't even remember what movie...

Sunday I passed being a princess in a tower, barely leaving my room for anything... I'm a sad excuse of a human sometimes....

Now, having done my homework (no classes for MLK day), and fished out some good stories for my other blog, I'm thinking I'll probably go back to my alternate ending and pull that out of my brain before it kicks my brain out.

As always,

Blessed Be
