Finals Anticipation

I've never been as close to straight A's for a semester during my college career as I am now.  I just want so badly to pull through this last week and a half of classes (plus finals week) with a strong showing and make it happen.  It's not easy with tech week for the Christmas show starting and deadlines piling up for reports on Phi Theta Kappa projects, but I know it's possible.

I started planning my schedule for the spring, and it's shaping up to be a lively but pleasant last semester.  LAST SEMESTER, PEOPLE!!  So stoked. :-)

Unrelated note:  You didn't hear it from me, but I made a Tumblr. :-x

Stole The Show

I thought last weekend's episode of SNL was kind of lame (sad, since the Muppets-themed opening scene was so cute).  But what made the episode worth watching were these two fantastic performances by Florence and The Machine.  This woman is a powerhouse!!  I would be very interested in seeing her live.

Blurbs of Accomplishment

Hey friends!  First up on the Blurb agenda, a few thoughts that really struck me today: 

I don't measure a man's success by how high he climbs, but how high he bounces when he hits bottom. -George Patton

The expression a woman wears on her face is far more important than the clothes she wears on her back

-Dale Carnegie 

I'm shocked to realize that this semester is almost over.  A month from now, finals will be complete.  At that point, I will have worked on four plays, completed a semester as honor society chapter president, and be one semester away from graduation. 

In the past few months I've been told many times "You look so healthy these days!" or "You look really happy, Debbie."  Hearing that is affirmation that my goals and hard work are taking me down a good path, and that a lot of emotional baggage that I've worked to lay down is in the dust on the path at my back.

I leave you for now with some pictures. :-)

One Time Only

In about 24 hours, it will be 11-11-11.

It will also be my birthday.

And I will be...well, never mind how old I'll be.  If you need to know, you already do.  I'll just say, it's an important birthday and I have been freaking out about it for weeks.

Mk, that's all I wanted to say.  Birthday.  Freaking out.  Epic calendar date.  Good night. :-)
