Planning Visits…
Oy... Michelle has only been gone a week and a half now. Somehow it feels MUCH longer than that. Levelling my Orc Warlock and playing some Halo3/GTA4 have been good distractions, but still... it's hard to not miss someone as awesome as Michelle. 
We've got our first visit planned though!
Heheh... We'll be going to Leo's wedding, looking at apartments and have a great time. 
Absence may make the heart grow fonder, but I'd rather have a good hug every now and again...
Its OVER.
My relationship is finally over... with Baylor. 
The past weekend was a whirlwind of activities, from family arriving, graduating, packing, partying, etc. While I was tired nearly the entire time, it was so wonderful to have people that I love and cherish so much around to celebrate this culmination of my trials at this university. Looking back, it is easy to see how much I have grown, from a skiddish, do-right freshmen all alone in Central Texas to the driven, independant, and sometimes crazy woman I (feel I) am today. The change is rather amazing to see within myself, and I know that my past four years of struggling have been well worth it. I have figured out who I am.
For the next two months I will be spending my time in El Paso with my parents. My dad asked me to come home for the summer, which he would never do if it were not for some really good reason. For those of you who don't know, I haven't moved home in over two years; my last two summers were spent at school, working on my thesis. It seems that my parents needed to have some 'Michelle Time' before I truly do move out on my own. They sold it to me as a means to pad my bank account while I pay no rent and work. As for myself, I am mildly dreading the next few weeks, since I have a)lost my freedom and b)lost visual contact with Bryan. And NO BRYAN, I WILL NOT GO BUY A WEBCAM.
Aside from that, life is going rather well. I am slowly destressing from classes, and becoming quite excited about graduate school. I understand now that some greater being really did have a hand in directing my life towards research, for it has become both my sanity and passion. I can see that the next few years are going to be awesome, and its all going to be for my dreams. How cool is that?
Hopefully now Bryan will begin to look for employment in Austin, and we can begin the next leg of our wild journey as close friends. One thing at a time, one thing at a time.
