I WISH I WAS HERE...

"I know you can be overwhelmed, and you can be underwhelmed...can you ever just be whelmed?" -Quote from 10 Things I Hate About You.

I've come to the realization that it's hard to have so many things on your plate that you want to do well...and so many people you want to be around...and be able to take care of yourself at the same time. Definition: overwhelmed.

Yet...I walk on =-)

Two Reactions...

And here you have my 2 reactions

to Barack Obama's speech at the

Democratic National Convention in

Denver, Co

August 28, 2008

First off I must point out that the fact that I even put out the effort to watch the speech...only goes to show that not all conservatives are close minded. I was impressed with his speaking ability and was surprised that not everything that came out of his mouth was crap. By that I mean, that instead of simply saying the word 'change' in a few different ways without providing any sort of explanation about what that might mean or look like to the American people, he actually presented some of the things he wants to change such as education, health care benefits, limiting the outsourcing of American jobs, and providing benefits for soldiers who serve our country, & end the War on Iraq. The problem is that I'm still skeptical as to how all of this is going to take place. I feel like so many of Obama's ideals are intriguing, and that he is doing a good job of trying to unify the different parties, yet he's also avoiding a lot of the important issues by playing the fence to appease both sides.

So there you have it....impressed yet skeptical.

Sigh...

Wow, it feels like a million years since I've written. Life has been just a tad hectic lately. I guess that's just how it goes with me. I'm in my last semester of college, and that is terrifying and exciting all at the same time. My main goal is to finish strong. I am very close to graduating Magna Cum Lude, and I will be incredibly proud of myself if I do. I'll still be proud if I don't - but I know that I'm capable of accomplishing this goal. I was looking into ordering my graduation announcements, and as I looked at the proof, I almost teared up. I can't beleive that I've made it. I am going to be a college graduate...it's an insane feeling. It's crazy to think that I finally have a career path and I hope and pray that I will continue to be successful in my schooling and that I can get into a Master's Degree program that will afford me a positive experience. I am anxious to see how this next stage of my life will pan out, and my greatest hope is that I can manage to save up the money to sit back and relax a little and do some traveling. More importantly I hope that I will have someone to come with me!

I feel very greatful that I have had people who have come along side of me and supported me through all of my many adventures, successes and set backs. To the handful of people who have always found time to be there for me, I will never forget it. I am incredibly lucky to have so many wonderful people in my life.

As this exciting time of my life unfolds, I will do my best to update any new developments that come along!

Best wishes.
