Nice wig Janice, what's it made of?

The last time I blogged, I may or may not have stretched the truth a little. I'm not going to update with my Greece journal... it would just be a futile endeavor on my part in an attempt to keep those memories relevant. Which would, in turn make them less memory-like, and more, living in the past. So, in order to keep those memories in a pleasant place in my mind, I owuld like to move on to newer, fresher stories.

This past weekend, I went camping. (see, much more relevant). Spaghettifest was a delightful experience filled with many firsts on my part. I also spent the weekend with some of my favorite people, and some that I don't know well enough yet to include them in that category. But none of my least favorite people were there, so that was a nice bonus.

*Jump to the future*
Ok, not far in the future, but next week I am going to New York to visit Jonah, who has lived there for a while, and Lindsay who moved there on Tuesday. I am beyond stoked. SInce this is potentially where my remaining years of college will be spent, I am dying to check it out and get a feel for it. The only problem facing me is this: what if I like it too much? I might not get in. It will make my decision between Emerson and NYU that much harder. I won't want to leave. There are too many "WHAT IF's?"

And now, because I can, and because I am stalking Kathryn and Jessica's blogs (it helps that you are my only friends on here). I have decided to make a super long post and steal some things from the two of them.
