back to the future.

this weekend was graduation. for many of my friends, they became alumni while i realized that i have one year left at this amazing university.

i was a little weirded out about it, yet my mother's phone call this morning freaked me out. she asked when my graduation was. I responded with "ummm i don't know. mom, that's like a year away." well turns out UT plans in advance, and sure enough the date of graduation weekend is in the calendar system.

one year from now: i'll be a UT alum. i'll be on the edge of total independence. i'll be poor, which i suppose is nothing new.

plus, that same month my mother is retiring and my little sister is graduating from high school. it'll be insane. but wait wait wait... that's a YEAR AWAY. let's get back to thinking in the present...

SASQUATCH IS UPON US!! we embark in two days. Our route is planned out, and I could not be more stoked. This trip will be insane in everyway. We are smooshing in a tiny car, packing TIGHT, driving across the entire midwest, and camping in washington paradise.

really, i have to thank God for this trip. so many things were seeming to not go right, yet He has guided us through the entire process. I ask everyone to pray for us as we drive. That we remain safe, no car trouble, etc. I can't wait to see the wonderful cities of boulder, portland, seattle, and all that's in between.

God also pulled me through school this semester. I made it out alive, and even raised my GPA. :)

I'm a little lost when it comes to my career these days. Being in television, there are so many different routes you could take. I love music television journalism, I love the idea of working on a morning news show (gma, today show, etc) I love the idea of working for the travel channel and hosting a show... just so many things. I pray that God helps me sort it out.
