Sink or Swim

Unless something goes horribly wrong, this is the last semester of my undergraduate career, and my stint of eight year (yes that's right, eight horribly long years) "super senior" will be drawing to a close. I guess at that point I will have to find some other subject matter to blog about. I feel as though I am incessantly talking about school. But hey aside from school, work and Aaron I don't have much of a life or time for anything else. That is except for of course, my other true love, Costco, but you already know my feelings on that subject matter.

I am excited to be done, but I am also kinda scared. School has been my shelter, my excuse, and a big part of my life for nearly the last decade. While I am definitely ready to say good bye to those obnoxious 18 year old, graduated with my little brother, I babysat you when you were little, freshmen (mostly they just make me feel like an old married lady) I am slightly scared to step from the shelter of college and enter "the real world".

I realize that rationally this makes no sense at all. However life's questions such as working at a job I'm not that interested in and don't love and our apparent lack of children, cannot simply be answered with the excuse of school. This is by no means an announcement (one would be a fool to take it as such) I am merely using those two things to illustrate my point. Which simply put is this: I feel like I have to grow up now and face reality. I'm scared to death because I have been happy in the land of denial and graduation feels like a swift kick in the.... out of the land of denial and ejecting me into the ocean (I hate the ocean, it makes me very uneasy) of accountability.

We'll I'm not sure if anyone reads this blog anymore, heck lets face it I don't read this blog anymore, however given that it has been nearly six months since our last post, for which I can't even take credit for, I decided to give it a whirl again.

I would say that it is one of my New Years resolutions to blog more, but I have resolved to only make resolutions that I have a least a shot at keeping... thus blogging is definitely NOT on the list. I do wish to keep in touch with people more and since I personally would rather stalk them electronically (thank you blogs and Facebook) rather than actually call people and talk to them in person, I decided  that I would try to afford those of you who still have some waning interest in our lives the same luxury. Kudos to those of you who are phenomenal and frequent bloggers. I envy you for being able to capture your lives in the written form. I enjoy reading and be a part of your lives through it. I hope to one day be as diligent as you. At the moment however life is busy enough and so I choose to leave out the part where I beat myself up for not being better about recording it (it really does free up quite a bit of time). In short I may, or may not possibly be back into the blogging world on a more frequent basis. I make no promises or guarantees. 

To those of you stalwart bloggers out there, keep on keepin on. You know who you are, I may not comment, but I am always reading you and I am grateful to you for sharing your lives with us.
