Some thoughts on paper...

As my time in Providence is starting to quickly come to an end, I cant help but think about what the rest of my life is going to look like.

For the last few weeks, Ive been slowly starting to become buried in term projects for my classes this trimester and I feel as if the only thing ive been doing for weeks is homework, homework, and even more homework. I mean, Im not trying to complain but seriously....WHAT THE HELL DOES WRITING A PAPER ABOUT HARP SEALS HAVE TO DO WITH GETTING A DEGREE IN BAKING & PASTRY?! And coming up with a problem in the Johnson & Wales University system...we dont have enough time left in the semester to talk about the problems this school has. Thankfully I have 2 of my 4 projects already done so there goes a "little" bit of stress.

This weekend my dad and sister, Libby were both on vacation this week and the decided to come spend the night in Providence with me. We had so much fun going to the Providence Place Mall and the Roger Williams Zoo & most importantly...THE CHEESECAKE FACTORY!! It was am amazing weekend and it meant the world to me to have "part of" my family here with me :)

After they dropped me off and went home, I once again locked myself in my room and was convinced it was going to be a productive night....well, needless to say, facebook chat is wayyyyyyyyyyyy too distracting! Plus, texting should be illegal  when your doing homework :) Anyway, I didnt get much work done but I got to talk to some pretty cool people in the mean time :)

Thursday will make it 1 month until I graduate college and I cant believe its been 2 longgg years already when it feels like just yesterday I made that long walk across the stage at my HIGH SCHOOL graduation, trying not to trip and fall :) Never did I imagine that day would come so fast or I would have prepared myself a little better. How you ask? No idea...i just would have focused more and made more friends I guess...Lets just say its been one hell of a year! So far Ive met some pretty awesome people both at home and here in Providence.  Thought to myself the other day about why I am the way I am with meeting new people and making new friends...and came up with one reason....I have this thought that, if im only going to be here for 6 months...1 month now, then why bother making new friends if Im never going to see them again? I met a great person in my labs and we clicked from day 1...then she left for France, and she currently lives in Minnesota and its not like I can just gt in my car and drive to see her when I want. So why bother? I would absolutely LOVE to have tons of friends who I hang out with all the time and have tons of fun with...but sometimes it just doesnt come easy for some people...

All in all, a goal for me this week is to kick my butt into gear, get all my homework done, and spend some quality time with friends and family :)
