And Life Goes On...


Wow. What a week. OH wait.. It's only Tuesday! Last weekend, my friend, Liliana, and I drove down to Thomasville, Georgia for a friend's prom. It was very relaxed and a lot of fun. It was my kinda evening!! Yesterday, I received some... bad? upsetting? interesting? news. I was not admitted to the University of Notre Dame (my DREAM school), which has left me questioning everything about my future. I have five amazing schools to pick from, but I was not prepared to make this decision. Thank goodness I have until May 1st to pick!!
Schools I Have to Choose From:
1. University of Georgia
2. University of Florida
3. Tulane University
4. St. Mary's College (in Notre Dame, Indiana)
5. Penn State
Lots and lots and lots of factors. Where will I end up? The only person who knows is Father Time.
On a happier note, only 8.. YES EIGHT!!!.. days until I leave for Walt Disney World!!!!!!
Eight Things I'm Excited to Eat:
1. Mickey Premium Ice Cream Bar
2. Dole Whips.. YUMMM
3. The Crystal Palace Buffet
4. Italian at Mama Melrose
5. Any food from World Showcase
6. Cheeseburgerz
7. Pizza!!! (from Pizzafari, of course)
8. Yummy Mac and Cheese

It's a beautiful day! :) (kinda... A little rainy, in my opinion)

Happy Birthday To ME!!!!!!


I'm 80???
Hello world! Today, March 22, 2011, is my birthday! I am officially 18 and loving every minute of it. I'm so grateful that everyone I've seen today has wished me a happy birthday. It's nice to know that I'm surronded by people that love me :)
A few updates:
-Crew is going fine. We are working hard in preparation for Southeast Regionals in less than two months.
-School is........... school.
- ANDDDDD only 15 days until I go down to Walt Disney World to see my bestest friend in the entire world, LISA M. KERINS!!! I am going to be accompanied by my one of my other best friends, Liliana! The three of us are going to tear up Walt Disney World.. Not literally. That would be a bit excessive.
- I'm still patiently (and by patiently, I mean not at all) waiting for decisions from Notre Dame, UVA, Boston College, and Yale. By the time I am reunited with my other half (otherwise known as Lisa), I will know where I'm going to college. How weird is that?!

As a little tradition, I would like to share FIFTEEN things I'm excited to experience while down in Walt Disney World:
1. The familiarity of Lisa's all-embracing hugs.
2. The unfamiliarity of knowing where I will be living for the next four years.
3. The weightless feeling on Tower of Terror
4. The beautiful stench of KlUmpZ water
5. The first sight of Cinderella's Castle while walking down Main Street
6. WISHES
7. Blasting off into space on Mission: Space
8. Emulating a bird on Soarin' (no, not Soaring.. Stupid people haha)
9. Shrieks as we pass the yeti on Everest
10. The first road sign directing you to Walt Disney World
11. Passing through the official Walt Disney World gates
12. The excitement as we shop in Downtown Disney on Wednesday night
13. Being told "Welcome Home" as we check into the POP Century Hotel
14. Leaving reality at the Georgia- Florida border
15. Experiencing nothing but pure happiness for five days :)
It's a beautfiul day!! :)
