Finals are over. A lot of alcohol has been consumed. My brother is getting married in a week. And I am officially old. I've decided to become a nun. Summer school starts in a week and I need a job. A lot has changed over the past two weeks. Not really, but I have to tell myself this so I think my life is actually exciting. What is exciting? I'll tell you what is exciting! VEGAS! Bridefest 2k6 has come and gone, but it was a good weekend where obscene amounts of money were spent!


As soon as Jen and Nicole arrived in Vegas, we wasted no time in embarrassing the bride. My sister and I made a shirt that read "Bridfest 2k6" across the front. Nicole also made goodie bags, but what was included is way too perverted to write on here.

We decided to go walk the strip on the first night. I decided it would be lame and cliche to take a picture at the Venetian since that is where Jen and my brother met.

Nicole got us awesome rings that lit up red. We decided to use them in case we lost each other and we would just have to stick our rings up in the air to locate each other. Bridefest 2k6!

My big splurge was a pair of Marc Jacobs sunglasses. I had a panic attack for about three hours afterwards, but I love them dearly. They look black in the picture, but they're actually a dark green. Oh, Marc.

Torturing Jen was always fun. We made her take a picture with one of the studs at Caesar's Palace. She may deny it now, but she enjoyed it.

We surprised Jen by taking her to Bobby Flay's restaurant. She is obsessed with Bobby and this was the look on her face when she figured out where we were going. The food was AMAZING. I haven't eaten that well since Italy.

After Vegas I had to buckle down and study for finals. Finals didn't go so well so I deicded to numb the pain by drinking heavily and this is what happened...




I know nuns don't drink alcohol, but I've decided to bend the rules a little bit. There was a Flying Nun so why can't there be a drinking nun? Exactly.

One picture can sum up my entire cinco de mayo.


Two words can sum up my entire seis de mayo.

Hung. Over.

Today is Cinco de Mayo and what am I doing? Writing a research paper. Most college students are making themselves a margarita and laying out at the beach. Although I am going out tonight, I am still jealous of all those people laying out at the beach right now. I am stuck in my apartment until what looks like the end of time. I have never been so stressed out in my entire life.

I thought this semester would be different because I haven't procrastinated the way I have every other semester. I've actually tried to keep up on the reading, I really have! Still, May 16th is two weeks away and I am going out of my mind. I have to read two books, which amounts to around 800 pages. I have to write 7 pages which amounts to about 1 billion pages and I have 4 finals to study for. Oh, oh! Not to mention, I have to go to Vegas the weekend before finals for a bachelorette party! Don't get me wrong, Vegas is going to be a blast and I am excited, but the thought of excessive drinking the weekend before finals is making me kind of nervous.

I found out a couple weeks ago that I am going to graduate on time and I have been so excited. I started looking into grad schools and everything, but I think these past couple weeks have made me recosider my options. I started to think maybe the working world wouldn't be so bad. No more finals. No more cramming. Then I thought about it some more and I realized that my college years have been the best years of my life and why do I want those to end so I can go work for some asshole that doesn't care about me? I can stay in school and meet cute coffee boys, drink, procrastinate, and at the end of the semester I can get so stressed out over finals I want to cry. It will be great. I've decided I'm going to grad school whether I get the support I want or not. So even though right now I feel like I'm going crazy trying to get everything done, I'm excited. Even though finals feel like they are going to be the end of me, I know as soon as I'm done with my last final I'll be happy I did it.

On that note, I am going to crawl back into my cave and work on some more papers. I will possibly return after I get back from Vegas otherwise May 18th will be the date!
