Although I didn't make the dream team all A's that my mother was praying for, I did well enough this semester (or at least I will after I knock out these last two pesky finals). My daddy put it best when he said, "She hasn't failed a class yet! Let her party and have fun." I like his motto, and I fully plan to adhere to it. I had a wonderful time this semester. I won't be missing the classes, but there are definitely some friends that I will be sad to see leave next Friday.
My leave of absence from the gym is being to show on my hips and thighs, but the problem will soon be corrected. I don't plan on eating in Italy since food is last on the list of things I plan on buying. All of the walking around Florence and other travel destinations should also help melt off that extra weight. So fuck ramsey. I have been and plan on continuing to get my exercise through more fun and exciting methods.
Sharing feelings never was a strong suit of mine, but to be totally honest I am not sure how I feel these days. Being that it is that time of the month and the end of the spring semester, my emotions have run slightly haywire. I am happy, sad, excited, and sentimental all at the same time. Bundled together its all one really confusing emotion. I love all of my friends, and I am sad that I will be saying good bye to some of them for long periods of time. There are plenty of people I am going to greatly miss this summer and next year. I will definitely have to find ways to keep in touch. I am also excited and nervous about my trip to Italy. Twelve weeks is the longest I will have been away from home and friends. I am sad that I won't be able to completely share my experience with some of the people I love the most. I am sure all will work out wonderfully in the end, but at the moment a nervous anticipation won't leave me. Everything will work out for the best.
I have finally gotten (almost) completely comfortable with a certain boy. I was afraid to be completely open with him due to past experiences and recent heart break. Therefore I set the ground rules rather strictly. I now feel that I would be more than willing to negotiate. A distinct giddiness and my former confidence is beginning to come back to me as I spend more time with this boy. Sadly time does me no favors. I will only be able to see this boy for another week, and then a twelve week leave of absence. With such a long period of time to myself, I see no need to change the rules. Let us both go out and enjoy life. Whatever happens will be left in the hands of fate. If nothing else, it has been a lot of fun.
Trying something new is definitely at the top of my list. I have made goals for this summer. I plan on falling in love with travel writing. Then I can hopefully use my skill to get a job with Rick Steve's or, even better, start my rival company to Rick Steve. I also plan on building my Italian language skills. I want to be able to carry out a full conversation (above a kindergarten level) with a fluent Italian speaker. I also fully intend on being an extra on The Jersey Shore. I discovered today that the entire cast will be staying in the same dorms as me this summer. My mission is to find the cast party with them for a least one night. I am going to make Snooki my best friend. I plan on convincing her to come to Athens to hang out with me and all of my friends. Challenge accepted.
