new year!

i know that it has been forever...im busy..ok?? anyway i think for the first time ever I am excited about starting a new semester. I know i must be sick or something, but there is just something about 14 hours - one class on wednesday and none on friday - that just kinda makes me a bit excited. of course the fact that this is my last semester of my bachelors degree means nothing to me...NOT!! I am so excited that it is not even funny!! anyway, point is i'm kinda glad its january and i am kinda glad i am in starkville in school! haha

so lets see, christmas break was pretty darn good. aside from just being a break I got to spend some time with the people I love most. I think the entire week of christmas we had an event every night. it was totally fine with me cause i got to make some awesome memories with family! on monday after christmas i spent all day at our camp cooking for all my friends. it was the annual "christmas at the camp" mini reunion. one of our closest friends who moved to alabama a couple of weeks after we graduated finally found her way back to hang out with us! we all had so much fun - i think everyone finally left at about 3 am haha i was worn out after it because I spent about 48 hours preparing/cooking/cleaning up for it, but it was worth it and it'll happen again next year unless something happens!

I also spent what other time i had over break reading. i haven't read a complete book since last christmas break so I decided that that is what I was going to do on my time off and i believe i did pretty well - 5 books in all. haha i was a geek and i know it!

ummm...i guess on to the good stuff. so i arrived back in starkville yesterday and it was flooding so i opted to only unload my laptop and to grab the mail. so i get this HUGE stack of mail out of the itty bitty tiny mailbox and run inside. on the top is a nice white envelope addressed to me from University Medical Center in jackson. I kinda had to just stare at it for a minute because i've been waiting for about a month to hear something from them. i was pretty anxious but i just tore into anyway ha it was a really long letter so immediately i thought - ok so if they were rejecting me the letter would have been really short so i must have made it to the next round! sure enough i finally read the first line which said that i got an interview!! EXCITED!!!!!!! i am not in yet but i am surely one step closer! the interview is just 2 weeks away so i am a little nervous but i guess i'll just go in and be myself! lol

well thats all thats been going on i think. i'll try to write more often this semester, after all i think i'll have more time!
