Earlier today I went home to attend a wedding. My sister’s best friend’s wedding. That’s not particularly odd, until you consider that my sister is 16 months younger than me and her friend isn’t much older than her. Two people about my age got married. That’s pretty terrifying.

Do you know me? I’m that book, that at one time or another, you thought might be a good read, so you picked me up, took me to the counter, paid for me, and took me home. The jacket cover said that I was going to be amazing, filled with mystery, maybe romance, and with an awesome adventure that you couldn’t put down until you finished the last sentence on the very last page!

I’m at a party school. But that doesn’t mean I don’t work hard, too. Stems from the old motto: Work hard, play hard. I truly believe it takes both to have a great life. So I live it.

Only a month into the semester and I feel like I’ve been in school for way more. So far I have all A’s in my classes. My goal is to keep up my grades and pull a 4.0. This is a high expectation but I think I can do it. I am more motivated this semester because I am in classes I actually like. I’m taking EDRD (education reading), Math, English, and Theatre.

Number one, college has ruined my immune system. I was never really prone to getting sick very much. Maybe a cold once a year that lasted a week but other then that I was always pretty healthy. Man I have been really sick three times since I have been at college.
