Happy Summer! && Crazy Eights

Hey everyone! As of right now I am OFFICIALLY on summer break! This is the first summer since I got into college that I won't be taking any classes, so I'll just be working and RELAXING!

As far as the previous post, this past semester is probably going to be my worst one yet, grade-wise. It's kinda pathetic considering the classes that I was taking, but talking with a friend of mine made me realize that everything will work out how its supposed to. If I'm meant to get into pharmacy school, it'll happen. If I'm meant to graduate with a B.S. in Biology, I am confident that I will be able to find a career or a further speciality that I will love. This is all in a process to learn that there are some things that I won't be able to control once they are outta my hands.

On a lighter note! I found this tag that Emily posted over at From the Land of Cotton and thought it would be a good way to kick off my summer of blogging.

Well ****

Just when I think that life may be slowing down and reaching a calm....

...life laughs at me for being so silly and slaps me in the face.

**sorry for 2 downer posts in a row, hopefully things will be looking up soon and i can be back to my regularly scheduled (hah) blogging.

Wait-listed....

Just got the letter today that I have been put on the wait list for pharmacy school. Definitely not the answer I was wanted. Now I have to send back a paper stating the latest date I would be willing to accept a spot and whether I would be willing to go to either the Columbia or Charleston campus. This pretty much throws off everything until I get a sure answer. I still have to go to registration as if I'm continuing with my biology degree, which is a very real possibility. I have NO idea what I would do with that degree. like none. I had no intentions of going to college and getting a biology degree. This is the only thing I want to do. And I REALLY don't wanna have to apply again next year and do this process all over again.

As I'm writing this post, I'm realizing that not only do I have to do REALLY REALLY well the rest of the semester, but also that I need to just fully put myself into God's hands. He's knows whether or not pharmacy school is the best thing for me (even though I feel like it is and so does my family) and exactly what I am meant to do in life career-wise. It's a hard lesson to learn, one I'm gonna have to keep learning and keep in mind as this whole process continues. I'm just hoping to hear sometime before school lets out in April, but it could be as late as a couple days before classes starting in August.

Speaking of staying on task this semester, I have a lab report, history paper, and biology test calling my name....

Exciting Things!

Hey everyone! So the spring semester is in full swing and I am trying my hardest to stay on top of things, hence the lack of posts! If you follow me on twitter I do tend to update that multiple times a day so make sure to check that out!

Speaking of staying on top of things, this weekend I pretty much spent the whole time on youtube watching tutorials and various vlogs and decided that I wanted to do that myself! Problem is, I don't have a webcam and my Canon Powershot microphone's range isn't big enough. So I plan to go to Best Buy tomorrow and find a cheap webcam that I can attach to my laptop. If anyone has any suggestions or you have a webcam that you really love, please let me know!

Also, the tutorials I watched all weekend were mostly about beauty, something I KNOW I have no place talking to people about! So as of right now I'm thinking that these vlogs are gonna be about my daily life. So I would like to know what yall would like to see! I was thinking about doing a "whats in my purse" vlog or what I keep in my school bag, how I keep myself organized for school (I dunno I watch other people's videos like these and think they're cool). I'm pretty much open to anything, so PLEASE let me know what yall would like to see! I'm hoping that these vlogs will be an easier way for me to document my life, since obviously I can't keep up with this blog!! Thanks and can't wait to hear your suggestions!!!

National Champions!!

ALABAMA WINS THE 2010 NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP!!!!

Even though Alabama KILLED South Carolina when we played them, I can't help but root for whatever SEC team lands in the National Championship (yes even Florida!) I couldn't help but want to see Texas try and come back after Colt McCoy was injured though. I felt awful for their freshman quarterback with this being the only game he had any true playing time in. But I couldn't turn my back on my conference!!! This is the 4th straight National Championship that the SEC has won and I couldn't be more proud than to be part of this amazing conference! Who knows, maybe ONE day **far far away** the Gamecocks can fight to be the national champs!!! haha who am I kidding....we have to win the SEC championship first!!!

Goals and things I'm looking forward to in 2010 coming up next!
