Why hello!

Anyone still out there?! I know it has been ages and ages since I have written but in that time I have finished up college! I am home until tomorrow, heading to Hilton Head with basically my entire class for Senior Week and then back up to PA for graduation next Sunday. What a whirlwind! Cannot even believe it is already May! This semester, or this year rather, has just been flown by. I can say with the utmost certainty that I have loved just about every minute of college (with the exception of that time I got in trouble for drinking by my RA during freshman orientation... whoops) but I am so ready for the next phase in my life, wherever that may take me!! 

I have every intention of getting back involved with this blog now that the craziness of senior year is over. I hope some of you are still reading and that I can attract some new readers as well! This summer is going to spent primarily on ME! I need to make some lifestyle changes before heading out into the wild blue yonder of the grown up world and I hope you will come along on this ride with me!

In other news, my girl K*a*te Huds*on is going to be starring in the movie Something Borrowed, based off the novel by the fabulous Emily Giffin (who has a new book coming out soon)! I am probably the last to hear about this just as I was last to hear about Jul*ia Rober*ts in Eat Pray Love, which I am waiting sooo anxiously to come out this summer! And J*ohn Krasin*ski (phew, lots of famous people int his post) is in it as well and I find him completely adorable! Cannot wait.

Well hello...

Hello to anyone still out there. Where did this past month go? I have certainly been running around like a crazy person, so here is a quick run down on the past 30+ days of my life.

*Summer boss's son decided that he wanted to work for his pops. I get it, I really do. If my dad owned his own business I would totally be all about it. But in this case, son trumped stellar fabulous wonderful summer intern so my grand plan fell through.He did send out a very nice email to all of his peers in the area and I have been in touch with a few people. I have a phone interview/discussion today! 

*I flew down to Nashville for an interview with a recruiter. I wish I had more time there, but I really liked what little I saw of Downtown. It went really well and he told me that he had high hopes for me. I need to pass my first exam (the field I am entering has a series of exams and accreditations, etc etc) , and hopefully go from there!

*Two best friends from home came for visits. I am always skeptical about blending friends from different aspects of my life but I think they both enjoyed themselves! Middle of Nowhere, PA is a bit to get adjusted to but we definitely have fun here.

*Graduation announcements have been ordered, party invites have been sent out. Crazy crazy! I know all my friends from last year said that this time would fly by but I really wasnt expecting it to be this quick! This semester has gone by in an instant. Currently looking for dresses to wear under my gown. Any suggestions? I dont want to be too hot as we will be out on the Academic Quad for hours and we all know those gowns are less than breathable! 


Hope this last month has been good to all of you!

Woo!

Scored these bad boys today... since my FAVORITE pair seem to have vanished into thin air.

And for $39 on Haute*look, I didn't even have time to talk myself out of them! Settling in for some American Idol. Am I the only one that thinks this show is on its way out? Now that Simon is leaving after this season I am not sure there will be much to watch. But Millionaire Matchmaker is new tonight! Yay!

I got sunshine...

Oh my goodness.. It is BEAUTIFUL outside! I could not be happier. My mood is exponentially better when it is warm and sunny out. I cannot wait for Spring to finally arrive! Happy Monday to you all and I hope that it is sunny and warm wherever you are! Quick weekend recap...

Friday night I went to see Alice in Wonderland in 3D! Johnny Depp was as cooky as ever as the Mad Hatter. For a lot of it, I really couldnt understand what he was saying but he was still great. I guess I fault my own ignorance because although I knew that the Disney version was completely different, it was all I knew. The effects were great so I would recommend it!

Saturday I had to go to a training for a committee I am on and finish some school work. It was so nice out and I was stuck in the Engineering building for a few hours but was glad that when I was done our afternoon party with one of the fraternities was still going on so I stopped by for a bit. Saturday night was pretty quiet. I watched To*p G*un and did some work. I can't stand To*m Cr*uise in the slightest but I do love that movie! 

Sunday was another gorgeous day out so roommate L and I decided to go on a walk. We circled the golf course and it was just nice to be outside in the sun! We stopped at the coffee shop on campus and got some smoothies and sat out in our backyard. We of course watched the Oscars and I can say that I agree with all of your best/worst dressed picks so I won't go into that. 

I was so happy for San*dra Bu*llock. Her speech was great and I LOVED The Blind Side. I was sobbing through the entire movie. I think next year I want to make it my business to see all of the Best Picture nominees, but I do think that 10 is a bit too many. 

Spring Break is next week and while I would LOVE to be somewhere tropical, home in VA will suffice. This semester is going too quickly! After Spring Break I have some sort of event every weekend. We have a big Greek party weekend, Spring Concert, Spring Formals, my mom's birthday, my brother's birthday, and before I know it May will be here and college will be over. What a whirlwind! 

Here's to a great week and great weather! :)

Hurry Up Spring!

Man oh man... This winter is really taking its toll on me. It feels like its been winter FOREVER. The snow, the rain, the gloom. Seasonal depression is in full force. And seasonal depression + senioritis = A BAD COMBINATION! Hope you are all making it through this rough February. 3 months from the 23rd and I will be walking across the stage on a (hopefully) sunny warm May day on my beautiful academic quad with my family and best friends around me. Woohooo! I know I will be sad when its all over but I am getting SO bored of the everyday here. Its a vicious cycle for me, established at a young age of moving around due to my dad being in the military. 2 and 3 years and I am ready for the moving boxes, new bedroom, new town, new school, new friends. So maybe its a little different now but I know that feeling that I get when I yearn for something new and different and it is definitely present right now. 

Friends M, M, and L and I are going to Penn State this weekend. Should be a fun time if the weather decides to cooperate with us. It will be a nice change of scenery since we go to a tiny school where everyone knows everything about everyone, often before it even happens. Sneeze and someone across campus has already heard about it. Sometimes I wish I had gone to a bigger school, but no use worrying about it now. 

Still waiting to hear back from my summer boss... I sent him an email a few weeks ago just to be in touch again about working for him after graduation. He said he would call last week but its been 2 weeks and no phone call. I know he is a very busy man, but I am getting antsy not knowing if I need to start looking elsewhere for a job, something that I really thought I would be able to avoid at all costs. So keep your fingers crossed that I get some good news!! Please and thank you! :)

I am literally itching to wear a sundress and some comfy sandals. I NEED A TAN LIKE YOU WOULDNT BELIEVE! I usually subject myself to the harsh UV rays of a tanning bed, but I have done without that this winter and it is VERY APPARENT. I have never been this shade of pale in my entire life. The mental shopping list is full. Now I just need to get my butt in gear as far as working out is concerned. 


Happy Friday to you all! Next week it will be March! Holy crap.
