My Feet Don't Touch!
I feel like a child right now. I just finished my interview and I’m trying desperately not to start counting my chickens before they’ve hatched. I’m just really excited! This excitement is making it difficult to focus on anything else. I’m currently sitting at a table in the library on the downtown campus rocking back…

Test Run.
I have an interview Monday morning. Wish me luck! Quotation of the day: “The secret of success in life is for a person to be ready for opportunity when it comes.” – Benjamin Disraeli 25 page paper? Bugger.

5… 4… 3… 2… 1…
Set the countdown. There are five days left until I drive over to Grand Rapids, meet my friend with a trailer and move my belongings into my new home. There is chance, through all of this, that I will have to rent a storage unit for the bigger ticket items that I know will not fit…

Fact and Fiction

This damn paper.
This paper is the bane of my existence. Any joy that I feel is wiped completely from my slate when I begin researching, reading, or writing for this topic, FIN 48. I’d rather gouge my eyes out with a grapefruit spoon than spend my days working on this. That’s how passionately I hate this paper.…

Colorado Night.
I fly home tomorrow. It has been the fastest weekend of summer, without doubt. It’s a shame too; I could see myself living here among the mountains, trees, creeks, cities, life… Colorado truly is a beautiful place.

Love loud. Don't Lose loud.
So many thoughts. Race. Through my mind. At this very. Moment. I’m having a difficult time. Piecing. Them. Together. Bear with me. I am inspired. And inspiring? I’ve been told lately that I have become some sort of inspiration for – (get this…) – spontaneity in others’ lives. Me, the child who spent years of her youth…
