i have been really wanting to update this badboy lately, but i just have not had the patience for it. so now i will give it a go.

the end of my junior year at msu has come and gone. i really really cannot believe it. honestly, although throughout the course of the year it seemed like it would never end, it flew by. i can't believe that next year at this time, i will be graduated. from college. effing weird. i'm old.

this past semester was the most painstakingly horrible semester of my life. it's funny that when i was writing that sentence, i messed up "semester" and instead wrote it "smester", because that is what it was. sme (science for elementary students) made my semester what it was--full of work. if that was the only class i had to take, that would've been just fine, but it definitely wasn't. anyway, it's over and i'm done thinking about it. let's just hope i passed it. because if i did not, i am refusing to take it again, therefore not becoming a teacher. i'll be a writer or editor or just tour with astl instead?

however, there was one thing that made my semester livable--my friends. i finally got to live with katie. words cannot describe how amazing it is to have your best friend in the same living space as you. just knowing she was there for me to talk to was amazing. we're sweet and a lot of our intense conversations occurred with us sitting in our rooms looking at each other in the bathroom mirror. our lives have continued to be paralelled, we're just weird like that.

abbi & i have also gotten super close this year. we worked together almost everytime (being that we're sups and we can do cool stuff like that). if you would've told me at this time last year that abbi and i would be good friends, i wouldn't have believed you. we're a weird pair, but we're sweet. i can't believe i haven't written about this before, but i'm going to be a bridesmaid in her wedding! i'm so ridiculously excited, and i am in love with my (possible) dress. it's soo not a stereotypical bridesmaid dress. she's coming to see me on tuesday & hopefully i will get to see my dress live and in person.

so...it's summer. i'm home & already in love with it. i had my first softball game friday. i don't think i have mentioned this, but dan is also on the team with me. we're a coed team, called the softballs, and honestly, it is so much fun. i was so nervous to play being that i had only practiced once with the team, but i played alright. dan was real cute & called me today to tell me he was proud of me for how well i played which i thoroughly appreciated. me and ms. kt are kind of insane together (as per usual), and i love it.

i have a good feeling about this summer. i just want a certain part of it to begin, though. but i will be patient. because patience is a virtue. this part of my summer is real cute though. and something i've been waiting patiently for for about a year now.
