"Here's hoping."

There is one thing I have realized in the past 8 days. I suck at blogging. I mean, I haven't been particularly dedicated to this blog. In fact, it wasn't even my choice to start it, way back when. I just did it because my friend was bugging me to, and it seemed like everyone 'cool' had one. But now I am rededicating myself to this blog. It may not always be particularly witty, and it's incredibly unlikely that it will ever be funny. But it's here, and I might as well make it half-way decent, right? And there is one thing that I promise you, my two or three readers. This will NEVER be a place to:
A. Vent (Ok, maybe sometimes. But rarely, and they will be understandable, and not about some lame moment or thought in my life. If I vent, it will be about world events or something big.)
B. Showcase lame writing attempts (I feel that I've come to a place in my life where I can understand whether or not my writing is decent. If I ever, god help me, write a lame piece about a Victorian-era lady finding her prince, or some piece of crap like that, please shoot me. After all, it seems like there are way to many girls out there who actually think they're good story tellers, especially romances! I pride myself in knowing that stories will never be my strength.)
C. Write a poem (Does this really need explanation?)
D. Waste time (If I write on this blog, it will be thought out and decent. No more two AM sessions of writing simply because I am bored.)
Well, that's all. This is my blog's new beginning. Here's hoping.

The Quickest Post Ever.



So. This is being written after frantically studying for my Spanish exam, and before frantically making my dorm spotless so I can leave for Christmas break. Therefore, this is in bullet point form, to save time.

Things that I have been doing lately:
  • Exams. Death!!
  • Writing a 35 source Political Science paper about the circumstances under which the international community should use economic sanctions against rogue states.
  • Meeting new people. Who are, coincidentally, wonderful.
  • Seeing old people. As in, old friends. They aren't elderly or anything.
  • Dancing! Why yes, I have been a part of numerous 1 AM dance parties on Tharp 3rd.
  • Taco Tuesday! 75 cent tacos :)
  • Downtown Chatt. So fun!
Things that I will be doing Summer 2011:
  • WORKING AT GLACIER BAY NATIONAL PARK IN ALASKA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm so excited about this! I'll be working in the Lodge there! I will leave from Nashville, fly to Seattle, and the next day I will fly to Juneau, Alaska! After this, I will take an Air Taxi (the worlds smallest plane) to Gustavas, Alaska, where employees from the park will pick me up! I will spend my summer sea kayaking, hiking, and biking in one of the most beautiful, wild places on earth! Most visitors to the park don't even set foot on land, they just view the glaciers from cruise ships. I, however, will have access to the entire park, and all of it amenities for free! On my time off, of course. I get to kayak in the ocean with whales! Oh, man. I'm so pumped. And here are some pictures of this amazing place.
