Here we go. Fresh off of a week in Austin (which I'll be recapping this week, get your stomachs ready to rumbleeeee!), I am back at school and ready to start my very last quarter of college. Exclamation point, exclamation point, exclamation point times a squillion.
While I'm in a corner trying desperately to process my emotions, here's a bit of verbiage to end this firecracker of a month (I mean, okay not really, but it was really really hot ... sorry East Coast) –
Watching :: SO. MUCH. I was getting the bang for my (roommate's) (mother's) Netflix buck this month. Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt, FRIENDS, Broad City, I watched it all. One of my favorite Chinese soap operas was also on Netflix, so there went 9 hours of my life never to be seen again.
Eating :: non-stop. After an all-out eating spree in Austin, I promised myself a week of detoxing once I got home. Tacos and Taco Bells and margaritas and milkshakes later, I laugh in my own face.
Shopping :: for a bathing suit! About to become a total cliche and fall victim to one of those Triangl bikinis. Or, more practically, Target.
Planning :: Our Europe itinerary. T-2.5 months!
Reading :: Well, I just today finished Yes, Please. Jazz hands and finger snaps! Up next: Provence, 1970. Also, this past week I was digging back into my GChat archives that go all the way back into 2006, when I was a wee middle schooler. Cringed the whole way through. Melodrama was the name of my game!
Enjoying :: days spent out in the sun watching my friends play softball, the feeling of being on an airplane and on the go again (um, and it was so incredible flying over Stanford!), hanging out with friends and basking in nostalgia and 'remember whens'.
Waiting :: to see if this last batch of classes will be a solid academic end to my undergraduate career. TBD.
Needing :: To detox. But not really wanting to. Plus – a job. See: trying to avoid unemployment in the coming months. (SOS.)
Feeling :: very, very, VERY bittersweet. Anything can trigger the tears at this point. Frat houses wrapped in twinkle lights, Senior Spring champagne popped, talk of beginning the packing process slow and steady, shopping for graduation dresses, imagining those last few days here at this paradise. Ball of emotions.
Wishing :: for the next two and a half months to be filled with the best memories of all.

When Ohio State switched to Semesters I HATED life, quarters were the business...until it was time for graduation and I was thankful for 15 weeks of bliss before I was forced into the real world of business pants erryday. That food looks delicious -- detoxes are for shmucks, keep the food coming!
