So I noticed awhile back (like around the same time that Nat and I got engaged) that the ads on my blog changed based upon what I wrote about. Lately I've been paying attention to them and it kind of creeps me out. For example, right now I am looking at moving ads...most likely because I talked about my parents moving. Nat was reading my blog earlier and commented on the beer ads...from my grocery store tales of getting carded. So now I'm wondering, is there an ad for everything? If I write about sex, drugs, and rock 'n roll will there be an ad for that next?
Yeah, these are the things that happen to you when you have way too much time on your hands. Not that I really do in all honesty, but that is neither here nor there. See, I've been puting off the dreaded packing thing as long as possible. Needless to say, four days from now I will be at Nat's apartment, but it's questionable that my stuff will actually be ready to go. Oh well. This is how much I am worrying about it right now. :-)
I suppose Gina is all moved into our apartment now. Hopefully she just kind of kicked my stuff around to make room for hers. I kind of left stuff everywhere when I moved my stuff over there at the beginning of the summer. Of course I wasn't planning on her living there a good 2.5 weeks before me, but whatever. I'm sure she will make do. I'm looking forward to this year. Gina and I have a goal to become regulars at a Hautian bar. Not just any Hautian bar though....Miss Extremes. Mostly because it is right across the street from our apartment and we figure we are within stumbling distance at all times. We hope to be able to go in and have everyone know us. Not in the Cheers sense, but in the fun laid back sense. I really had to fight the urge to break into song back there. Wow, I'm weird.
On a completely different note, still no word from Lemelson. At this point I am assuming that no news is bad news and that not only have we been phied (how on earth do you spell that word?), but that they hated us so much that they aren't even going to tell us. I guess this could be the end of my cool senior project group. Sure, our project was going to be harder than hell...seriously, none of us know anything about optics...but it was going to be so much fun working with those guys. They definitely would have had group meetings at the bars where we all know we would have been oh so productive...hehe.
And now I sound like a raging alcoholic. I'm looking forward to my last year of school. As I explained it on our SGA Exec retreat it is my last year as a single woman...I plan to live it up. Looking back at my college career I don't think I have any regrets thus far. There are definitely things that I would do differently given a second chance, but I don't regret anything I've done. For starters I never would have come to school with a boyfriend. Especially not one that I knew I wasn't going to stay with. I don't mean for that to sound harsh, but I knew...I just didn't want to admit it. I think I missed out on a lot those first few months just because I was so afraid of making him mad. The next three months of my life were by far the wildest and craziest that I have ever had. That's not to say that they were wild and crazy in the sense of a lot of people that I know, but for me they were. They were also a lot of fun. The past 2.5 years have been somewhat of a blur. Things seem to run together and time has flown by so quickly. I still can't believe that I am a senior in college. When did I get so old? At any rate, I do plan to have a ball this year. Yes, I am going to work hard and get good grades, but I am also going to party hard. We'll let the rest fall into place.
Well, I think it may be time for this girl to hit the sack. Goodnight all!

One more week of work! I should hear this week if they are going to offer me a full-time job, so that's pretty exciting. Of course, the more time I have to think about it, the less I really want the job. I guess I just don't know that the Caterpillar culture is what I want. Sure, the people are all nice enough, but everyone has been there FOREVER! I don't want to stay in my first job forever...and I definitely don't want to end up in a cube farm. Talk about hell. So, the offer or phi will come this week...we'll see what I decide to do with it.
Other than that I am slowly packing up my place. I kind of lack the motivation to do anything too quickly. I think I'm going to try to have everything packed up by Wednesday so that Friday I can just hop in the car and go. I am so ready to go home.
I don't really have anything else to say. I guess this is the most boring post ever. Oh well...
I almost forgot. I added a link at the bottom to post where you are from if you are reading this. :-) Thought it would be fun. Comments are next on the list, but my ghetto summer internet connection has left me somewhat unmotivated to do anything that requires searching online. I'll get to it soon!
Have a great week!
