whoa, nelly ... it's been a long time.

i know that i am supposed to "enjoy today" ... "live in the moment" ... 

"not yearn for tomorrow, for it isn't promised" ... 

yeah. i know. 

but i can't help it. 

i am ready for the next stage in life. so ready.

i have senioritis. bad. 

i miss my boyfriend. bad. 

i want to spend these autumn afternoons frolicking in 

pumpkin patches with my best friend. bad. 

i want to be in grad school, living downtown chicago. bad. 

i want, i want, i want. 

life is good. it's nice and comfortable and i am blessed. 

i am still applying myself, and not grumpy and stressed all the time although, i have my days  ...

i am doing well. for real. 

there are rough days, but i'm well.

71/2 months and counting. 

graduation & moving day will come soon!
