So it's offical. I am moving to Dallas the weekend of May 22nd. I will not have an apartment of my own, but I will have a fantastic house, fully furnished, and a great roommate in my aunt Penny, at least for the summer. I will be taking the TEXES exam April 4, and I will have a job when I move. I can't promise where, or really when, but I will have one!

And the Academy Awards this year was the best Oscars I have seen I think in my entire life. I actually sat all the way through them and enjoyed pretty much every single moment of it! If it continues like this (with Hugh Jackman hosting, of course), I will for sure be watching every year. This and the Tonys (because how can you not watch the Tonys?) will be my awards shows. My superbowl for women and gay men. I have a feeling that these will be the things that will be the big deal in mine and Allison's apartment. Well that and the world series when our teams are in it. :-) I can't wait for the new chapter in my life to start!

Tis in Ireland I wish to be.

I'm watching The Quiet Man, which is one of my absolute favorite John Wayne movies. It makes me want to go back to the Emerald Isle so badly. I believe that if ever I met an interested Irish man, I would be swept off my feet so quickly, I wouldn't know what happened. And then we could go over to Ireland and live happily. I would love it. Granted, it would be a poor life probably, but we could handle it. I love Ireland. It has such a rich history and it's wonderful. I think the week or so I was there was the best time ever. It was the best vacation I ever had. And that was simply doing all the touristy things. Amazing. I can't wait to go back. I would love forever and ever who ever took me there. Maybe I'll go by myself. Anyone want to go with me?

Travel the World

So Phonathon is starting. Well actually it has technically already started, since we're doing training this week. But our theme this semester is passport to Phonathon, so it's like a trip around the world. And it got me thinking how sheltered I am in my little life. when I was younger, we traveled around the country to different places every year. But since I've been a grown-up/in college, I have traveled exactly to the same places in the last five years. Houston, Dallas, San Antonio, Lubbock, New York, Oklahoma, and Colorado. I think I'm ready to go somewhere else. I wanna see the world. I want to travel to places that are completely different from where I have been right now. Granted, I could have done that if I had decided to join PACE. I would have been in Portland, on the West Coast. The only place in the United States I have never been. But maybe I will be there this summer when we head up there. Life is so freakin crazy sometimes. I just wish things were easier here. :-)
