i haven't done this in forever...
wow so as many times as i look at this thing a day, you would think that you would be hearing a lot more from me.... but sadly no. my life has been a roller coaster lately. well actually this year it seems. hectic is the only word to describe it. and the sad thing is, i enjoy it all too well. always going, never stopping... life in the fast lane. it's a beautiful thing. so i thought i'd give you all a little insight, update i guess, on what my life has been like.
first off, and probly most interesting and exciting to you all, is Mikhail. yes, i have a boyfriend. and i have to say he's a major step up from the last one. he makes me smile. and that means a lot. we also agree on a lot of things, politically and others, which is also good. and i think the fact that we are both so involved in the college republicans works so well. because in the last few weeks it's becaue of CR stuff that i've seen him so much. and it's just one more thing we have in common. i've met his family, and by what i've gotten they seem to like me. though i wasn't really worried. now he wants to meet mine, and well we all know how my family is... just a little nuts. so that should be interesting. he knows that the one person he has to watch out for is ryan, so i'm kinda preparing him. and... he's training to be an officer in the marines. which i find amazing. people think i'm nuts for really being ok with this. but in the end it's his decision, and i support him 110 percent. it'll be hard. but i think i can do it. so anyways, enough rambling. i could go on forever, but just know that this guy is right, and i'm extremely happy that i have him in my life.
so now to the most important and less exciting stuff. politics first. it's still running my life. but it's getting just a little easier. some state wide elections for CR are done, which is a huge thing i don't have to worry about anymore. but to get a sight into the drama. mikhail was running for a position, and had all the GV votes in his favor, well at convention most of GV decided to vote for his opponenet. i think it was becasuse it was an attack on me, but whatever. and so he lost. and the votes he thought he could get from GV would have been the deciding factor. all in all i felt like the worst girlfriend ever, but what's done is done. and i'm running for VP of our own CR group that i'm nervous about, but that's in a few weeks. anyways. i didn't get my internship through DC, but i'm still hoping for the mackiac center in midland. we'll see how that goes. and if i don't get that who knows where i'll be working this summer. i need a job, and no way am i going back to barnes and noble. not after what happened with christmas break and stuff. so if you know of any summer jobs, let me know.
so school i guess is left. the major thing, i can't wait for it to be over. summer is looking better and better each day. but i think i picked out another major, communications. i figure if i want campaigns and elcetions to be my focus, having a background in communications would be smart. i have a pretty nice schedule right now. just 2 classes a day in the fall, and no friday classes in the winter. so i'm happy with it. just now i have to focus on projects and papers not to mention finals. so it's pretty crazy round here. and i also have to look at signing my lease for my apartment next year.
so yeah. my life is crazy. but i like it that way. life in general is pretty good. i miss you all back home. i feel like i have no time to even talk to alot of you. so come summer, we be hanging out. ah summer... carefree and relaxing. i can't wait. :)
