Time to Drink Champagne

Hello my friends! I'm sitting here on my brand new couch wearing a "bazinga" on my t-shirt and watching the Big Bang Theory on DVD. I just finished a delicious salad that had lots of fresh veggies including radishes and I started to think, wow am I exciting or what? This summer has been full to the brim with activity, graduation, moving out of my place on Peach and into a house with about a million roommates (fleas, it was horrible I have scars), driving through 3 states in 2 days to spend my only vacation of the summer in Texas in August. Then after several days of moving and touring in LBK (Lubbock) I had to say goodbye to my man until December! A long day of flying back to California driving up to SLO and then I moved into my awesome apartment. I had help from my wonderful mother and our friend Stephanie, it was so much fun and I couldn't have done it without their help. Well now its September and things have settled down a little routine is setting in  and  I finally have a chance to catch my breath!

With that breath comes a little let down the excitement of the unknown is over and now I start to see how my days will pass. I was so looking forward to moving into my own place and while I love it and wouldn't change a thing I wonder if makes me independent or boring. I am 21 and taking on more responsibility than I ever have and then most of my friends right now. Is this too much for me should I be more carefree and wild as it were? More than anything I don't want to become isolated and introverted (I guess more than I already am), I want to look back on this time as some of the most exciting times. Then I remember my whole life will be exciting, its a new adventure each day and I look forward to each and every one of them. While I don't really know what I want to "do" with my degree or where I want to work forever, I am so happy not knowing. Why would I want to change a thing, I am living in a wonderful town in a fabulous apartment I love the work that I am doing and there is so much I have to discover about myself and now I have all the time to make mistakes and learn so much more! So I am going to make myself some tea and put in a movie, either Doris Day or Katherine Hepburn I think tonight! So who cares that I am 21 going on 82 in less than a month I'm happy healthy and so grateful for this beautiful life God has given me.
