Since my last post was super heavy. This one will be happier! :)
I just want to say peace out to 2013. It was the year
- I saw two Starkid shows live. Perks of living in the city in which they are headquartered.
- Delta Zeta won SongFest at Nicholls, and I got to be there! :) Surprised my grand-big because she didn't know I was coming.
- My sister visited me for her birthday and we saw Darren Criss in concert!! EEK!
- My parents visited me in August and helped me move. We went to the Art Institute Museum and the Museum of Science and Industry.
- My uncles, aunts, and two cousins visited that week too and we went to the Lincoln Park Zoo and North Avenue Beach.
- I got a new job and quit the old one.
- I dropped a class I really liked in order to save my GPA.
- I changed my mind about grad school more times than I care to admit, only to end up choosing a focus I had considered waaaayyyy before I had ever started college. (Thanks for pointing that out, Mom.)
- I had my first (three) snow day(s) of my life!!
- And I survived a Chicago winter. (Though, I'm told that was mild...)
- I started writing a new novel. (400-something words and going strong...lol)
- I watched quite a bit of John and Hank Green and friends make fools of themselves on the internet in order to raise money for The Foundation to Decrease World Suck during their Project for Awesome 48-hour live stream on YouTube.
- I trudged through the beginnings of my second Chicago winter, which has already involved nearly 8 inches of snow and ice since Thanksgiving and numerous days of subzero wind chills.
- I go asked to be a bridesmaid in a wedding in 2016. :)
- And I get to end the year back in Louisiana with my family and my best friends. :)
So, au revoir 2013. 2014 is my year. I will finish undergrad, walk across the stage, and start my next two years of school. (Le sigh)
See you on the other side!
