3 Days


So little time until graduation day. Yesterday Emily and I finally experienced Fat Ho Burger! It was awesome. The fries weren't very good but the burger was delicious. I has a supa fly ho with cheese and bacon. The cheese was melted on the burger making it messy but delicious. The place is also pretty cheap which is great for poor college kids.

After lunch we picked up party supplies for the graduation party Friday and spent the evening cleaning the house and scrubbing everything down.

The rest of my night was spent hanging out with Ellie, Barrett, Stephanie and Ben celebrating the end of school, and the end of a terrible roommate.

So far I haven't done much today. My room is pretty much packed so I'll probably finish that up and if the sun ever comes out maybe go to the pool.

5 Days

As of about 2pm I am totally done with college. My last final, which was a paper was slipped under my professors door making me finished! The rest of the day was spent at the pool and seeing Water for Elephants (which should have been called Whiskey for Elephants because as Emily said "Those elephants are all boozehounds").
This last week here is going to be spent packing and cleaning the house so that we all get our deposits back. Also there will probably be a lot of sleeping in and pool time.
Oh Happy Mothers Day to everyone!

One Week!

My room is really starting to look empty. Which gives me hope that moving out won't take that long but that probably isn't true. We haven't even tackled cleaning anything because everyone's stuff is still everywhere. At least most of the actual stuff in my room is packed though. 
A week from now is graduation and this time next week I will be officially graduated (and hopefully enjoying some celebratory drinks). It's finals week here at Baylor so I've pretty much studied, taken tests and packed all week. It's been pretty boring. I have one paper due Monday at 9am and I'm done with college!

I can't believe it is already May. Time is passing too quickly these days, I'm not ready to graduate.
Friday: Morgan, Ryan and I went to see Ke$ha in concert! Such a fun show. We even hung out by the tour bus hoping to get autographs, which sadly didn't happen.

Today was the senior road trip to Independence. It was really cool to see the birth place of Baylor, especially since I didn't go to line camp freshman year. We had dinner in a really pretty garden where President Starr and some other Baylor staff spoke. Then we went to Windmill Hill to see where two of the dorms and the bell tower originally stood. There is a little building with info about the founding and first years at Baylor. We also walked around the town looking at the different historical markers. The night ended with a trip to a church where Sam Houston's initials are carved into a pew (too bad I forgot to get a picture). In there were heard Samuel Palmer Brooks immortal message before going over to the columns that still stand from the original university. At the columns all the seniors passed under them and received a piece of the original Waco Hall stage from President Starr. It was pretty cool.

16 Days!

Today was a very long but exciting day. I got up really early to drive to Dallas and sign my lease before coming back for class. So I am officially an apartment renter! I can move in May 16. After class Emily, Reagan and I met with the woman in charge of catering at La Fiesta to pick our menu for the graduation party. Then we went through jewel degree with the rest of the ADPi graduating seniors. We are all now officially ADPi alum! Exciting but weird. Tomorrow is my last day of class here.

Monday was another day off. I got drug tested for my new job and did a little shopping for my new place. Tuesday was my last ADPi chapter meeting ever! It was really weird to think that I would never got to another one. We had senior recognition and everyone got a little star dangle for their pin. We also had cupcakes, which were very good. After meeting a bunch of us went to dinner at Elite and while we were there the weather got a little crazy. Waco was under a tornado warning until around 10 because there were some tornadoes (now a confirmed 6!) in the areas near us. Nothing hit Waco that I know of but campus was locked down, and we got some hail. It made for a very interesting Tuesday!
Only 3 classes left!

19 Days

Can't believe Graduation is less than 20 days away! Since the last post I've been to Houston, back to Waco, to Dallas, back to Waco and finally back to Houston. I came home for Easter break Thursday afternoon to drop off furniture for Kristin. Friday morning my Mom and Dad and I headed to Waco to pick up a drug test packet (which wasn't there) and packed up some of my apartment. We headed to Dallas that night and spent the day apartment hunting. So, as long as my application gets approved I'll be living at Villa Miranda in Las Colinas starting in May! The apartment is on the third floor, has a nice balcony, and a really nice kitchen. The only downside is I don't have a washer/dryer. So that will probably be my first purchase.

Today is Easter and I finally got to sleep in. I met my friend Johanna for lunch at PF Changs this afternoon which was really nice. We hadn't seen each other in a long time and it was really good to catch up. Other than that I've been working on a paper and making a list of all the things I need to do in the next few weeks.
