things you don't realize
-I didn't realize how much I'd missed Meg til she spent the night twice and we stayed up til 3 or so both times.
-I didn't realize how much of a procrastinator I am til I found myself cleaning for fun.
-I didn't realize how much sign language I knew til I watched David sign the songs and sermon at church this morning.
-I didn't realize how many missed opportunites I've had until I found myself taking advantage of unexpected ones.
-I didn't realize how much NOT a feminist I am until I got spoiled. (Thank you, a hundred times)
-I didn't realize how non-threatening my dad is compared to David (ask Bob who hung up on him!)
-I didn't realize how fun it would be to die while eating chocolate (Murder really is fun!)
-I didn't realize how appealing naivete and innocence were.
-I didn't realize how high the standards are that I've set for myself.
-I still don't realize how much I'm going to miss my friends after May.
-I still don't realize all the benefits of being little (young) physically and spiritually that are now gone since I'm older.
So, Meg's home! :) We had fun surprising everybody at Swing Thursday night :) I apologize once again to those of you I deceived by not admitting she was already here prior to that night...but you can't have a surprise if you tell it to everybody! We've had fun....late night talks about everything and nothing are the best...especially because they're late at night which means we're delirious :) Quite a few of you of the male specimen should've had your ears burning while we discussed the things we absolutely love about you! :) We are so blessed to have such good friends. It is also fun to have the friend that you can speak solely with your eyes and convey an entire conversation. It drives everybody else nuts but it really is amazing. I love that I have friends who kick my butt when I need it, and also let me cry on their shoulders when I need that as well. Y'all are awesome :) Finals begin tomorrow and I have officially lost my mind. Naptime will be after church tonight and then I'll stay up.........awhile.... studying World Religions (I am the Buddha...). After finishing that exam I'll read for Torah and throw together the best paper ever (30%...it better be the best!) due Tuesday. Oh yeah, thesis......hmmm.......that'll get done........umm.......yeah. It'll get done. Parents arrive Thursday at 6pm to help me move out. Technically I move into my new room that day too but it really won't happen til I drive back in Janurary. (Must be back to B'ham in time to watch GA win the Sugar bowl...) Then classes and....blah.
Ok, news that really may be news for some of you. I made up my mind. And I have submitted my application to the University of Georgia's Graduate School of Education for a Masters of Education in Early Childhood Education today, less than 1 hour ago actually. I will be finishing the application process (letters of reference and all that jazz) over Christmas to turn in by January 1st (though I'll techinically turn them in earlier than that) January 12 I will be miserable from 8-12 my time to take the GRE and, consequently, miss class to do so. So after turning in my thesis I will begin studying for the GRE. Collegiate vocabulary and math will be used mainly for the next month. Boo hiss. Cain't I tawk li' thes? (I'm not good at spelling southern) Oh, note: If I get accepted, I won't have another day off for........a long time. The ECCO program starts in May-mester while I'm still at Samford finishing my undergrad. Twill be entertaining to say the least. :P No, Shylan and Lauren, I will NOT miss your David weddings....but they'll be the only breaks I get because I'm also going to have to be working while I'm in classes. Hopefully my job will be to teach at Westminster or Athens Christian. I think they are non SACS accredited which means I can teach w/o a certification. Or....Oconee might hire me under Title 1 since I'll be working on my certification..... Anything can happen at this point. First I have to get accepted. And to do that, I have to finish the application process. But, I also have to graduate from Samford. I can't do that if I fail my classes and if I don't study for finals, I won't pass so...........I need to go get busy on something other than this.

P.S. I want a dog...I really do. But let it start out as a puppy :)
