twenty..
its been almost a year (two months more to the day) since ive last posted in this. To begin im posting this from Rome, Italy. Im studying here for a month. Tomorrow, Ill head to Florence for the weekend. I feel as though alot has changed. Well.. the girl who would never have a boyfriend turned around and found herself in a serious relationship. We're mainly opposites I'd say but its really one of the better things that has occured within the past year. My 20th birthday is in three days and for the past two years I've shared it with my best friend Erin, since her's is June 17th. This year I'll be in Rome with strangers, but its ok. Incredible how I will no longer be a teenager. Seems really strange but I can still vividly recall my first "double digit" birthday (10) and what I did on my 16th birthday (as opposed to the huge wedding like parties or 'Sweet Sixteens' my best friends from Long Island were having). Im still really focused on school, actually speaking of; Ill be graduating this Spring (May)2009 as an Art History major with an Arts Management minor. Yep, at the ripe age of 20. i know, apparently I like to bust my ass and keep very busy. I also keep a job at a makeup store in Charleston called Ulta. Hopefully Ill still be promoted to lead key when I return from this trip. hehe. Im not quite sure what i'll do after I graduate. Probably head back home to Greenville, get a gallery job and an evening job at the Ulta over there. Possibly take some GRE classes and take that exam. Also have to look into Graduate Schools, etc. Im really excited to see what the future will hold but im really just trying to enjoy every moment of the present. Im super content and grateful with the way things have turned out for me so far and I wouldnt change anything if I could. I feel really almost thankful for it all and can only hope for further good fortune for myself and for everyone around me, since ive found it best to surround myself with people that care for me and that I care for. Could this be a sign of increasing maturity? I dont knowwww. I feel as though my outlook on life has changed since this time last year but I still adore good times with good people. After all whats life if you cant laugh shit off you know?
