I was messing around on my blog, as usual, when I happened to look at my stats- 144 page views? No way! Then I realized, I spent a whole lot of time looking at how pretty my blog is and not a lot of time writing things on said pretty blog. So, now that I feel like the Narcissus of the blogosphere, I will proceed to write something.

I declared an English major at the beginning of the semester, but I hadn't seen my advisor, so yesterday I skipped up three flights of stairs to visit him. And oh my goodness, he is a cool guy! Basically we planned out the next three years of my life, which, actually leaves room for me to *gasp* double major. I have absolutely no idea what I would double major in, heck, I don't even know what I want to minor in, so we'll just see where this goes.

I am now the new cabin counselor for Camp Cheery's Junior camp! Basically, I get to chase little girls around for a whole week. On the downside, my summer job is a week long, and summer break is three months long. So I'm hoping either to get another camp job at the lovely local YMCA or to take some summer courses at the local community college.

The weather has been gorgeous here in Texas, so there has been a lot of lying out in the sun. My friends call it tanning, but for those of us with, let's be honest, pasty white skin it's just plain ole painful, but who knows I might be a tiny bit less white before the year is over... Maybe.

I got some very sad news today, one of my dad's former students has gone missing. His car was found on a bridge over the Mississippi River yesterday, but he has not been located. The news reports make no conjecture as to the whereabouts of this man, but the mind immediately jumps to one conclusion. No one understands why he would do such a thing, supposing the worst, that is. His friends has all received emails and messages from him wanting to make plans for the coming week. Everyone is thinking, "He's just not that sort of person." We'd all like to hear that he decided to do something very odd, but is safe and sound, doing something utterly bizarre, probably dressed to the nines like he always is. But now we're just waiting, hoping and praying our fears are irrational.

Any prayers for Philip and his family would be greatly appreciated. 

Spring Break- It's Nothing Like the Ride at Disney World.

I've been on spring break this week (that's how I found time to start a new blog), and I must say, I could get used to this relaxation thing. Except every time I do, I hear my Economics Professor's voice, and I buckle down on the homework she was kind enough to give us.

I've always envisioned college spring break as something out of those movies I wasn't allowed to watch in high school. I spent mine with my grandmother, which, contrary to how it might sound, has been very pleasant. I've been out to lunch everyday this week. How penitential of me, now that I think about it. I've gone to see two rather good films: Undefeated and Hugo. Undefeated was good, but Hugo was excellent. This was also the first time my grandmother had been to a 3-D movie, and it was one of the good ones,  where things come out of the screen at you, so she was totally thrilled.

I also managed talked myself into buying two very, very short sundresses.  Please tell me I'm not the only one who stands in the dressing room at a store going, "It's not that short, " and then walks out of the store only to realize it really is that short, and wind is not your best friend. Fortunately I do know how to sew (sorta), so I've currently got a dress with lace pinned to the bottom. I absolutely must remember to sew it on tomorrow otherwise it'll never get done. I'm usually not crazy about little frilly accents on clothes, but I love the dress, so I can put up with an extra 2 inches of lace.

When I told all my friends that I was going to my Grandmother's for break, I explained that I was going to help here with some cleaning because she's thinking about moving. Well, so far, the only thing I've done to help was to appropriate a large suitcase. I'm very excited to finally have my own suit case, you have no idea how many goofy travel arrangements I've gone through in the past several years. For example, on my way here I carried nothing by a backpack and a large tote bag. I was very self-congratulatory about my light packing skills. Until I got here and realized none of my clothes matched.

Well, it's back to the grind on Monday. I haven't done half the things I planned to do this week, but I've found I don't really care. I suppose it'll get done. Too bad my flight isn't longer, though, I could really do some homework if I had a 5 hour flight. Oh, well...

Well, Here We Go Again....

Every once in awhile, I become an absolute maniac. I'll empty out closets, rearrange furniture, and reorganize every aspect of my life. Of course, this becomes harder when you share a tiny room with another person who might seriously object to your maniacal cleaning. So I'm taking it out on blogger. Yes, I am the same Epiphany who wrote on the blog Maria's Maiden. Same exact person, only older and with different views about the blog. I tried changing up the old blog, but it just seemed like a fresh start was in order.

I'm hoping that I will be able to write about more serious stuff (and by serious I mean stuff I want to talk about). Since I've been in college.... Only seven months, you say? Well, it's been a very formative seven months, thank you very much. Anyway, I've started a big girl blog where I plan to write long interesting posts that the whole world will read, and then BAM- world peace, right there, folks. Well that's my vision . In all actuality I should probably just say, "Hi, mom. I hope you like my new blog."
