i love knowing that im wearing really cute matching bra and underwear when no one else knows. ha.

i also love having boobs. seriously.

yesterday was so hilarious. lizs car wouldnt start, so me, liz, lyn and sara pushed her car all the way to the gas station. it was so funny. a few people tried to stop and help us, but i told them it was ok, we were doing it for excercise lol. then we stayed up until 430 in the morning...we are the funniest people i know.

im really looking foward to the lsu game this weekend!

im very excited--i have the highest grade in my biology class. i also finished my biology and english papers. wooT! i wrote my biology paper on microscopy...holy crap, i had no idea microscopy could be so detailed and so complicated. my papers only 4 pages long, so i feel like ive shortchanged the subject or something, but oh well.

i am really looking foward to going home on tuesday. i swear, the past week i have been eating, drinking, and sleeping the anticipation of going home.

over the past few weeks, i have come to realize what an awesome experience it has been for me to move down here. ive been here only a few months, and already things seem to be falling back into place for me. its been a huge eye opener--ive been exposed to a completely different mindset and code of behavior. im also now experiencing the effects of a falling economy and that in itself has been a huge, like i said before, eye opener. not to mention, my mood has improved ten fold. for this, i think i owe thanks to the friends i have made down here...theyve introduced me to new people, new experiences, new music, new hobbies, new interests, new ideas and new beliefs. its amazing all the people that flow in and out of your life--the effects they have on you, on other people. i am so grateful for the friends i have made down here. because of them, i have overcome a lot of childish and self-depricating mindsets. ive also been able to overcome issues that have haunted me for years. one in particular.

i feel like the luckiest person in the world. ive known so many amazing people, and each and every one of them is important to me. ive experienced love, like the kind in corinthians--and i think so few people get to experience love in such a pure form--maybe ill get to experience that again, maybe not. either way, i am still so fortunate to have known those emotions. thats enough. Now, i have my family, a future, and an incredible set of friends that i treasure greatly--they remind me why i used to smile so much.
