history of my blog
yes, two posts in one night. crazy, i know.
sometimes i like looking back through my blog entries to think about where i was in life when i wrote some of those old entries. i realized tonight that i started this blog four years ago august. so much happens in four years....
august 2004 - started this blog... turned 22... kari (my best friend since age 4) moved in with me... started grad school
august 2005 - got stranded in frankfurt, germany... made it home safely from studying in prague... turned 23... asked a lot of questions about what i believe and how to live it...
august 2006 - had my heart broken... turned 24... got my cartilage pierced... finished my graduate thesis... let go...
august 2007 - realized i'd lost 20 pounds... turned 25... watched my one of my best friends get married...
august 2008 - visited my boyfriend's family for the first time... turned 26... and...
i'm still working on 2008. but four years ago, the beginning of grad school, feels like lifetimes ago. college feels even farther! people always tell you that you'll change in college. that you'll become the person you'll be for the rest of your life. that you'll grow into yourself. and in alot of ways, that was true for me. but even more so in the years that followed. learning to fit into the "real world" and learning to really be independent... i traveled halfway around the world by myself to study poetry. i worked hard (and took on a lot of student loans!) to earn a degree that can lead to a lifelong career... i started that career... i teach college students!... i moved to the city (to live by myself) and finally took on all responsibility for myself (own my car, pay my rent, everything i own is in my apartment)... i fell in love... what a road. i am not the same person i was four years ago. i almost feel like... an adult. (yikes!!)
