we could run away, maybe we could change

Like I said almost 3 months ago... I'm bad at this.

It's amazing how things can change in such a short time. Brian is no longer part of my life. He and our relationship didn't turn out to be what I thought they were. It sucks, but I'm doing my best to move on. I think I'll be taking a long break from dating. Every relationship I have been in, even the ones I thought were good and healthy, ended up painful and disappointing. I don't think I can take any more of that. Not any time soon.

Classes will be over with a week from today, then two finals, then I'm out of here. I've decided to go back to GPC for a couple semesters and take pre-med classes, then apply to med school for the fall of 2013. I'm excited about it - it's nice to actually have a plan, and a timeline. Whether things will actually go accordingly, we'll see. But seeing as I've wanted to be a doctor literally since I could speak, I feel pretty confident that this is it for me.

I have a partial list of med schools to apply to: MCG, Mercer, and UNC Chapel Hill. I'm planning on volunteering at Emory Johns Creek Hospital, and hopefully I can meet a doctor or two willing to write recommendation letters.

I guess that's it for now. Time to venture out into the rain for my hour-long drive back home from campus. Only one more week of this...

this could be good, it's already better than that

It's been a long time. A really long time. I've been telling myself for probably a year now that I'm going to get back into blogging. Then I'll start a post and eventually forget about it. I have at least 10 drafts saved with nothing but one or two sentences.

So yeah, I'm a terrible blogger.

Things have been... going. I'm finally graduating from college this semester. On May 13th, to be exact. The ceremony is at 7 pm, then I'm shooting a wedding at 11:30 the next morning. Honestly, I would rather skip the graduation and just do the wedding. I'm not a fan of sitting in Sanford Stadium with thousands of other people for a couple hours, waiting to get a piece of paper that says "hurray, you graduated from college! Now good luck trying to find a job!"

Or for me, "good luck getting into grad school!"

Ugh. I don't mean to complain so much. It's just a stressful time. I guess it is for every other soon-to-be college grad as well.

Other than school, life is good. Brian and I are coming up on a year and a half together (for anyone who jumped from my last entry to this one and is really confused, Brian is "Date #3" from the last post). We've had some rough times like any other couple, but we've come out the other side stronger than before. I feel like being with him is a wonderful thing, a good place for me right now. Whether it always will be, who knows. For now, I'm happy to have a good man in my life.

We had a fabulous snow-filled time a couple of weeks ago, during which Brian and Chloe and I played outside and acted like kids. Of course, Chloe always acts like a kid. She is the Eternal Puppy. But we had fun times.





I think we make a cute family. :)

That said, I have mountains of German and Social Psych homework waiting for me. I'll try to be better about updating this thing, but no promises.
