Snowmageddon 2010!

That's right, epic snowstorm of doom just got underway. Another weekend of snowy goodness. 30+ inches possible and the possibility of thunder snow! I would say "snowmageddon" is a pretty accurate name for this storm. I love the excitement and anticipation surrounding snow storms. I love watching the snow fall. I don't love having snow on the ground for the majority of the winter. I also don't love the cold that comes along with the snow.

I'm also not loving this particular storm because I am supposed to start my job on Monday. It's looking more and more like Monday will be a snow day for me. Which is fine with me, but I would kind of like to get my first day over with. I'm super excited about the job, I'll be a recruiting specialist, but I have no idea what to expect on my first day. I also have a lovely 1.5 hour commute to look forward to every day. Fun fun.

I did have a weird moment of realization the other day though. I went to Jazzercise with my future mother-in-law and I had to fill out an information card. It asked for occupation. Out of habit I almost wrote "student" but then realized that isn't true anymore. I actually had an occupation to write! Not student, not unemployed or seeking employment, not leaving it blank. It was a weird but exciting moment.

Speaking of Jazzercise... I had a BLAST. I wasn't quite sure what to expect from it. I am seriously out of shape from 3.5 years of living the life of a college student. Even the Wii Fit left me out of breath and wanting to fall over. 3+ years of Chick Fil A and Papa John's will really catch up to you. Anyway, I was excited to try something new but was worried I wouldn't make it through the class. By the end though, I was pumped up! Future mother-in-law gave me a coupon for 12 free classes so I have 11 more sessions to attend for free. I can't wait to use the rest of them.

New beginnings... (again)

So I obviously didn't do a very good job at keeping last year's resolution. Oh well, life happens. I've had an urge to blog recently so I decided to return to my trusty old blogspot account and see where that takes me. I can't say how often I'll update, but I do hope to update more than I did last year (and look, I'm already a third of the way there!) This time I hope to have a bit of a direction for this blog. I'm a college graduate now and I'm entering the next phase of my life... true adulthood. It's a scary but exciting prospect. I hope this blog will be a good record of this crazy time in my life. Job hunting, wedding planning, and everything else that goes into life after college.

So that's a basic overview of what I hope this blog will be. Kind of general and all over the place, but true to life. All the ups and downs, excitement and anxiety, and everything in between.

Spring Break is almost here!

Well obviously I have not done such a good job with keeping up with this blog. Oh well. Since this semester has started, I have had very little time to sit and collect my thoughts. Spring break is a little over a week away and I couldn't be more ready for a break. I'm enjoying this semester so far, but I feel like I cram so much into each day and don't take enough time to just sit and enjoy the little things. I think a week off from school will do wonders. I'm excited that it seems I won't have too much schoolwork to do over break, though I don't want to speak to soon.

The second issue of the Campbell Times comes out today. I'm really pleased with how it's turned out so far. 3 more issues to work on and then I'm done for the semester. It's really exciting to look at each issue and to have seen it gone from just a few story ideas to a full 12 page paper in just a matter of 2 weeks.

One thing that makes print week (or any week for that matter) go by faster is the fact that Lost is back on Wednesday nights. I love that show so much and this season has been beyond incredible. I've developed a routine of watching Lost on Wednesday nights and spending most of Thursdays reading recaps and theories. It's developing into a bit of an obsession. :D

I'm happy that I've pretty much made it through this week. Print week on top of a PR writing test, a problems in PR group paper being due, and a French test and writing assignment due made for a pretty stressful week. It's not over yet, but I feel like I've accomplished everything that needed to get done. Next week should be a bit easier, I have 3 tests but taking print week out of the equation will give me a lot more free time!

New Year, New Blog

I've finally decided to start a whole new blog. I think I've made a blog on almost every once popular blog site. Blurty was first. I think I was in 10th grade when I started that one. Then I moved on to LiveJournal. LJ provided a place to archive any 11th grade drama that occurred in my life. Some time during that year, I gravitated toward DeviantArt and posted my thoughts in that journal. After I grew bored with DA, I tried out Xanga for a while. Then, finally Myspace took over. I finally decided I would give blogspot a try. Only time will tell if this blog will go the same way as my others... abandoned and forgotten forever.

Anyway, I do want to try to keep up with this blog on a semi-regular basis. I enjoy reading old journals and old blog entries, no matter how embarassing it can sometimes be. It's a great way to see how much you've grown. I got my very first diary when I was 7 years old. From there, I can trace my thoughts through the series of journals I wrote in in elementary school to the million blogs Ive started over my years on the internet. It provides some fun times.

So enough blah blah blahing about blogs of the past. It's a new year and that means setting goals for 2009. This blog is a product of that tradition. I want to be better this year about writing down my thoughts. Goal #1 for 2009, though, is to have some kind of general plan for after graduation. Obviously, I know that plans like that can never bet set in stone, but I would like to have some idea about where I want to live, exactly what field I want to go into, and whether or not I want to go to grad school right away. This time next year, I will be done with college. Such a scary, but exciting, thought.

So that's about it for now. It will be interesting to see how many entries I actually have by January 1, 2010.
