Good Moooorrrning :D (Or afternoon)... or Morning again

Today is Saturday. Today is the day I slept until noon. Oops. Today and this weekend are kinda going to be packed full of boring stuff-- ya know, homework stuff.

... I lied. Today is now April Fools Day.. April 1st. I started this post at one yesterday.. got completely distracted by Netflix, Facebook, Killer Bunnies, and a lab due this week. Technically I should shut down my computer right now and go to bed so I can get up for homework crack down tomorrow.. but Netflix and Facebook are two demons I'm not sure I can defeat tonight. What if.. I do my lab while listening to a show on Netflix and reward myself with a few minutes of Facebook chat after every question...?

Don't judge. If you're a student.. you've done this. I know you have. We all have.

April first. Where the heck did this year go? I guess if I look back, every week seemed to drag on relentlessly, and I hated how long it seemed, but it's just like last year.. by the time we blinked.. it was practically gone. This time last year, I was starting to think about writing my speech for graduation, I had just registered for fall semester, I wanted to be a Stat's and Political Science major, I had just quit working at Starbucks.. and I was scared to death to think about the school year ending already.

This year.. I'm not writing a speech for graduation, but I'm writing this blog. I register for fall semester in just over a week. I am definitely neither a Stats or Political Science major, but am currently in the process of review for Geography and English majors... hey hey hey hey hey.. did you see that.. I, Hannah Eilene, have officially DECLARED two majors. I've decided. I seriously can't wait to hear back from Mr. Hage.. I can explain that in a bit..  I'm still on the hunt for a job closer to home for the summer, currently I work about 25 minutes from my house and without a car.. the commute is a tad difficult... or impossible... and as much as I'm really ready to go home and spend three months with my friends, with my family, and with my cat (don't laugh).. I'm still scared to let this year end. It flew by so fast, and I haven't finished my Freshman bucket list.

Mr Hage was a teacher at my high school who helped me decide what I wanted to do with my life about fifty times and each new decision he was shocked, because it shied away from the one thing he knew I wanted to do most. Even when I decided to major in Geography and get a minor in GIS, he was excited and proud, but still surprised that there wasn't any English or writing in there. Now, I can hear him laughing and giving me his "I told you so" smile.. and flat out saying, "I told you so".

I'm glad I decided to sneak English in there. It's the first decision that I can say I'm 100% excited and confident about. I love Geography too, so I'm excited to do both.. and I mentioned GIS.. that's in the plan too. These next three years... they're gonna be rough. Add in a semester in Peru.. stay tuned.. if nothing else for the pictures when that happens. Peru is absolutely gorgeous and I'm sure I'll have a lot to say... but I'm going to make these years in college worth every penny. I just need to remember not to blink.. because time FLIES.. like these Pelicans -->

On that note.. Happy April First, because I can promise I won't be playing any jokes today.

Always,
H.Eilene
