AAANNNDDD WE'RE BACK...

Longwood has welcomed me with open arms yet again. I moved into my new APARTMENT on wednesday and I must say "I'm lovin' it" (I'm right next to McDs). My apartment building has a starbucks in the bottom..along with the bookstore (Barnes and Nobles). The building across from mine has a Moe's Mexican restaurant and the one right next door has a Chic-Fil-A. Can I say "here comes FATTY!".

Okay, so the story is I'm back. The problem is class starts tomorrow and it's my final year. Sounds like a wonderful adventure where the girl looks deep into life's serious questions and finds herself at the end of the perilous journey, not to mention a dreamy hunk of a guy comes into play.

Wouldn't that be nice!?! well, we shall see is all I can say. BUT, I am very nervous about classes starting tomorrow. The nice thing is I know someone in every class....the bad thing is...I know someone in every class. Usually it's a great thing, however, there was drama last year with a few of them and I wish I didn't have to see them everyday!

But that's over and out as I like to say. See ya on the flip side as they said in the '80s. And remember: Always Look On The Brightside of Life.

Endless Packing

It is never ending. It is messy. It is exhausting. It is hard. It is packing. I hate having to go through all of my things and picking which things to take with me. I hate trying to fit it all into the least amount of boxes. I really cant wait until I officially move out and only have one place to keep all of my stuff. This way I wont have to keep unpacking every summer just to pick back up and leave in the fall. But as of now I am still living at home. I am getting all of my junk together yet again. I am leaving on Wednesday to unpack it into a new living situation. And then I will pack it all back up in May and bring it all back home to unpack. This terrible cycle will continue next fall. BUT hopefully it will end next year. Hopefully I will be moving for good. Be in an apartment for two years. Then I will reluctantly move again. My life will be on the move forever. I should just buy an RV and drive around. That way when I have to move, my stuff wont have to. Haha. Oh well, live goes on!

Over and Out

Today I took the GRE (graduate record examination). I received an 1100, not including the writing section. I'm not too sure how good of a score that is, but all of my graduate school options require at least a 1000, so I feel alright about it.

I must admit that until the test ended I was so completely nervous and stressed that it felt like the day lasted a year. The test is much like the undergraduate SAT, except that the analogies are so completely ridiculous that I had to look up every one in the practice book. I was so spastic that I arrived an hour before the test. I had to fill out a form that said I wouldn't discuss the test and I had to answer questions, get my picture taken, and empty my pockets. I felt as though I was about to enter prison!

Oh well...that part of my life is over...once I get into a school I will never have to take a test like that again. Let's just hope that I get into a school. There are 8-9 slots available in each program. That means that I am completing with hundreds to get the best slot in the best school. The pressure is on!!

However, I am not even going to think about deadlines and applications until I go back to school. My first one is due in October. But no...I don't care. I get to go to the beach next week and relax...for the first time this summer!

Wish me luck, pray for me...either way I'm going to need it :)
