2010

Proverbial. "Forgot I had a Blog" and haven't posted in several years.

Much has finally passed and others to fruition.

I finally received my diploma this fall after being a pseudo-Grad student and yet still an "undergrad". I feel so accomplished that I have finally achieved something that my family values, and also to take it to the next step and attain a Masters degree. I achieved a spot as a Graduate Assistant in the Center of Student Life here at SFU doing what I love ... working with Leadership Development and Greek Life. I'm a proud Greek here at SFU since Fall 2006 and love being able to work with others in the same program, as more as an advisory role, now. I love being able to develop my leadership skills in order to help others develop theirs. AND, I don't have to pay tuition because it is covered by the Department as a part of my GA.

Well, all for now. More for later.

finals.

Finals week again at SFU. I had a better semester than I thought I would have; I'll recap after all my finals are finished. I have a lot of pictures and think it'd be really neat to post them. They tell a better story of the last half of a year, anyhow!

thankful.

i am thankful for a few things today.

i am thankful that i have people in my life that love me unconditionally; no matter what mood i'm in, the sun still shines out of my ass in their eyes. my little, my val and ashley ... my big, too (though lately we're just huge grumps ... rawr!). i have rebecca and my music lovelies. and then i have a few of my gamma sisters ... who really care when things get down and make me laugh.

i am thankful that i pulled off a good enough grade on my ochem test on monday that i am no longer failing the class and have little danger of failing it at all. that makes my entire week. :)

i am thankful that i have a warm blanket to cuddle up in on my comfortable couch, in my wonderful (just not pretty) apartment, at a beautiful school (when it's not snowing too much). and i can have the luxury of going out and getting coffee, driving away in my OWN car, and sleeping in my OWN bed by myself. i love life right now. thank you, Lord. :) <3

fall.

it's one more monday closer to the end of the school year, and i'm really depressed about that. "ready, set, don't go."

it's not that time yet; please.

i need a really good hug.

i miss them.

i think i miss something i never knew i had, until it was gone.

revelation.

the only thing you can ask of yourself is to decide what is worth it and what isn't worth the waste of time. the difficult part of which is discerning one from the other, but when you do, it is a liberating feeling. my problem is that i find worth in every little grain of life, and it's hard to let go of a lifestyle that you can already see an ending to, before long.

i'm pained to find that i'm inadequate, and that time is fleeting. i'm frustrated because i fail as a result of stretching myself thin. it's time for a new beginning ... and a life lived for myself as i do for others.

as the pasta boils

if you're anywhere near loretto, pa, you should come and see the theatrical production by STAR productions (Students-Theatre-Area-Residents) at Saint Francis. we are putting on a stage production of agatha christie's "The Patient" and the original work by our director, Kenny Resinski, "As the Pasta Boils". i'm a Pasta-person ... and i love it. please come and support your fellow thespians. :)
