Drama Queen Has Been Dethroned

So, I'm thinking now, looking back at that last post, that I was being a little melodramatic, no? That's ok though, it really is hard to leave all your friends, and I miss school. However, I am currently on vacation in a beautiful place called South Carolina with my family. Thanks to my lack of skills in sun-tan lotion application, I am now burnt in splotches, instead of all over...lucky me. I can say though that with the help of a little Sun-In my hair has started to lighten into a reddish tone...let's call it a pre-summer glow shall we? Right. Anyways, I just want to update this blog because I really don't want the last post to be so depressing as this last post was. I think I'm going to have a great summer. I'm a little worried about the job situation, because I really don't want the job I had last summer, but in this economy and my pickiness, I'm not sure what else I'm going to find. We shall see. In any case I'm going to have another amazing vacation in Ireland, so no matter what I else happens this summer, I'm going to be grateful. 

Well...I have a headache, so I'm going to just close this and go to bed. I will write more again soon...hopefully. Heaven knows I have the time now. Until then! 

Press Pause Please....

I'd like to take the opportunity to modify a quote from a dear roommate: "Press play please." I would suggest that now would be a great time to "Press PAUSE............please?" With Finals looming before me, not to mention the subsequent packing and goodbyes, I wish I could just press a Pause button on my life. Be it the added worry of moving out, or the harder nature of the classes I'm taking this semester, my stress level has reached a peak for the year and my head is on the verge of exploding from the crammed information I have stuffed into my brain. 

However, I think the worst part of this whole ordeal is the very finality of it all. Unlike last semester where I was just going home for a short time, now I face the very appropriately named FINAL weekend that is a veritable Final End to a lot of things. I feel like my life is a book in which the end of the chapter is coming and I can see it, but I don't want to read ahead because I know its going to be bleak. Maybe we could go back and reread the happy chapters? And as much as I want to stop it, I can feel the pages turning and the book closing with an ominous and resounding "SNAP." 

Maybe I'm overreacting, but the end always makes you look to the beginning and I can't help but feel like I need more time. More time to do what I planned. More time to make friends with the people I've lived around for the past eight months. More time to prepare myself for the inevitable goodbyes. More time. Period....or how about no period? Let's not end it. Let's keep it going. Instead of the terminating "period" let's just leave off at a semi-colon, or a nice ellipses...It just seems much kinder, less...FINAL. A little, "To Be Continued..." 

All you have to do is turn the page...
