Sorry for posting all the win.
So I actually made this post for my xanga that I randomly remember existed, but I felt like updating it here as well for those of you I rarely see and might wanna know how I'm doing cause I love them, I'm looking at you Nicole ;).
I'm to decide if I want to keep updating here or switch to my other journal. I like the username more. You know, if I ever get around to blogging again. I'm prone to just... not doing it. Hah. Its just such a hassle to get people to switch between the old and new names. Or really, old and older names.
Aw snap, son. Look what I just found.
It's been a while, but what can I say? Life's been a little too fantastic to waste my time updating this. But considering its three am and I'm currently suffering from insomnia thanks to my awesome nap earlier today, why not give a little love to the first site I ever poured my heart out on? Let's recap a bit shall we?
I've made some huge changes in my life since I last updated, starting with getting rid of a lot of dramarama inducing people. And as terrible as this may sound, ever since I stopped hanging out with them, my life has be amazing. The last year, year and half, has been one of the best I've had. My life feels like its finally moving forward, instead of constantly having to deal with the past, and not necessarily my own past. Its incredibly liberating to final just say "screw you" to all your problems and focus on what really matters. To realize how poisonous some people really are and relish in how much better your life is once they're gone and no longer bringing you down with them. I've reconnected with a lot of old friends, made some new ones, and got myself well on my way to where I want to be. And while I have stumbled here and there along the way, I can honestly say, this is the happiest I've been since the year after I graduated high school.
Speaking of graduation, I am, dun dun dun, graduating! Five long years and I am finally done. I will be a May 2011 college graduate, sporting two degrees as evidence of the sheer amount of money I have thrown at one of the worst Universities I have ever attended. Let's just hope I've done enough to get me into the graduate schools I'm applying to next fall. Cause you know, I just love being in debt and want to accumulate as much of it as I possibly can. And what better way to do that then get my masters? And attending a non-Postmodern oriented school will be fantastic. Best part though? Moving. Once I graduate and return from my summer escapades, I am moving to the great white north. Here's to hoping I don't freeze to death.
I completed my first field school this past summer, actually. I spent two weeks living out of a tent, digging in the ground, and doing a ridiculous amount of paperwork, but it was a fantastic experience. If anyone is ever interested in archaeology, just do it. There's hundreds of digs that accept anyone for volunteer work, you just have to go looking. And honestly, I've come to the realization that Arkansas people are cooler than Texas people. Its just a fact. As for right now I'm looking forward to this summer, where I will potentially be digging in Greece. Yeah, that's right. Greece. And considering my field of study is Classical Archaeology and Ancient Mediterranean Studies, you can imagine how incredibly psyched I am to be going if I get accepted. If not, I'm going to California to attend UC Berkeley to study Attic Greek. Not quite as epic, but also incredibly exciting, cause you know, I'm a nerd whose into that kind of thing.
Comic Con has also taken over my life. Its my shining light at the the end of every summer and I don't know how I lived before being encompassed by its sheer epic awesomeness. I don't read comics religiously, but you can't go without falling in love with the whole culture. Not to mention all the people I've met, famous and not. But, I am incredibly frustrated that the ticket buying system has crashed twice so far this year. I need my ticket yo! I has a whole summer to plan and you're making that difficult. So jump on that SDCC, I'm waiting. Plus, I need an excuse to stalk Kiala and Marian more. I want to serenade them with my newly acquired guitar skills. (note: guitar skills equates to playing four cords. But hey! Its a start). Also, totally just kidding. I don't stalk them... they stalk me.
I'm also incredibly addicted to twitter. For realsies. Follow me, www.twitter.com/xkarenskii. I will rock your face off. Or just disturb you with the number of pants off dance off tweets I make and my discussions of why burrito diets are fantastic. Or you know, obsessive tweeting about how I want bone David Tennant. Or Jim Parsons. Or better yet, BOTH. Someone introduce me to them. Now. ...please?
But really, this post was pretty much just me saying: Hey. My life is amazing. My friends are fantastic. And while I'm still growing up and figuring myself out, I am so happy and excited I could burst. I have so much more to look forward to in my future and I can't wait to see where my life is going from here.
