My Blog

As I am quickly learning, blogging is becoming the wave of the future. Although I have been opposed to it for a very long time, I now realize that blogging is a great way to get your ideas out there for people to read them. 

I hope through my blogs, you can form not only a better understanding of my personality, but also possibly get a new perspective on everyday issues.

I have not blogged in a while. It is finally summer time and I have all this free time to keep up my Web site, but I have mostly spent my time traveling and watching Soap Net. I do enjoying having the time to relax, but at the same time I get bored very quickly. The traveling was very exciting though. I went back to Knoxville, Tennessee to visit my boyfriend Johnathon for his birthday. Then I visited my friend Dani in Los Angeles. More recently, I spent a day with my good friend Jill in Galveston. I created so many fond memories from all of these trips, but it is nice to be home.

This is probably the last time I will spend an extended amount of time at my true home. I am spending the rest of the summer at my home and then it is off to study abroad in Milan, Italy. After studying abroad I only have a semester left before I graduate college. I cannot believe I will actually graduate from college in less than a year! I thought graduating high school was a big step, but it doesn't compare to the feelings I have when I think about graduating from the University of Tennessee, Knoxville.

I guess if life was a book, then graduating high school would be my beginning of the prologue and then graduating college would be the start of my first chapter. Along with starting the first chapter comes new fears. Where do I look to find employment? Will I find a good job? Will my rent be too high? Am I making the right decisions?

I guess the important thing to remember is that graduating college is an unbelievable accomplishment. These days people just see it as something one must do in order to get a good job, but you've got to see how outstanding becoming a college graduate really is. So I will take a note from Mariah Carey's song, "Hero" and cast my fears aside and I know that I can survive.

Yesterday was Easter. As a Catholic, this is a big holiday for me. My favorite part of the this day is spending time with family and eating a really great meal. Unfortunately, I spent spring break on campus in Andy Holt apartments instead of with my family in Houston. I woke up Easter morning feeling depressed because I could not properly celebrate with the ones I love.

My depression subsided though when my boyfriend, Johnathon, asked me to come home with him. I spent the day with J.T., his mom and his dad. We ate dinner and coconut cake, then watched basketball for the rest of the evening.

The opportunity to be around a family on Easter really lifted my spirits. We didn't do anything special or talk about anything particularly earth shattering, besides whether you would eat a vat of mayonnaise or butter for money. But I just enjoyed the company of feeling a part of a loving, happy family.

I am so glad J.T. rescued me from loneliness on Easter. Instead of watching the Food Network all evening, I was able to spend time with people I really care about and who feel the same about me.

Tomorrow I have a paper due in my Acting class over the play, "Intimate Apparel," by Lynn Nottage. This play was performed at the Carousel Theatre on the UT campus. I really enjoyed it, so I decided to post my paper on my blog.
