For Kevybear
Kevin told me to stop being all emo and post something happy, even though I don't think my last post was particularly unhappy. So to indulge him:
Life is fine, it truly is. I like transition periods, to be spontaneous and discover the unexpected, despite my penchant to be a homebody and occassionally a bit of a wet blanket. So this time of year suits me. One month from today, I will be on a plane to Ireland. I'm kind of nervous but overall very excited. People seem to love the city, and I will hopefully find some friends among all the BU students named Shannon and Kaitlyn and Catherine and Kayleigh, etc, etc. My main concern is that it won't be enough of an EXPERIENCE for me, whatever that means. I'm not going that far to get drunk every night with Americans, basically. I want to get something more out of it.
Hmm, what else is going on in my life? I'm trying to figure out next year's plans, writing a thesis and all that. I am extremely confident that I can do it, as much as people warn against such a stressful undertaking. Academically, my life here is pretty great. I get good grades and talk in class and work in spurts so I don't feel too lazy. I'm going to be a UDR next year and hopefully work for admissions interviewing applicants.
That was boring. Blame Kevin.
