Sorry for the delay in the posting, loyal fans. It has been a crazy few weeks of packing, finishing my thesis, and getting everything organized for the big cross-country journey. Here is an update on life:
*Thesis is finished! Still establishing a date and time to defend the beasty before I leave. For everyone who has done this, you can relate that this has been one of the biggest stressors. Communication is key, and not having successful communication has made this a difficult process. For those of you who have kept up with me over the past few weeks, you understand what this means.
*I have spent the past few days packing, and I have a lot more stuff than I first thought. I have packed 3 boxes of clothes and blankets to ship out in a few weeks, 3 boxes of books to take, and I have 2 boxes of clothes to donate. Thank you hard work, eating healthy, and working out. I will not miss those large and extra large shirts and baggy pants and shorts. In addition, I have been able to relive my time in Stillwater with the help of some of the notes, agendas, and the "little things" that have made these past few years great. I actually found some of the recruiting materials that brought me back to the few days when 20 of us were vying for a few jobs at OSU. #stressful
So, I only have around 20 days-ish left in Oklahoma. This will be one of the last times I return to the state, and it has been bittersweet experience since my last post. Over the past few weeks, I have really bonded with some of my co-workers/friends through completing online ROCs, going to yoga, heading to the pool, seeing some good and ridiculous movies, and just going to lunch in the middle of the day. More than ever, I have taken in those moments that will mean something to me for the new few weeks, months, or even the next year. Snow White & the Huntsman with Michael - Terrible movie. Some incredible quotes. "Hasn't she been dead for at least two days. Gross!" "Snow White got more action dead than she did when she was alive." And it was also really cool to help a fellow Hokie transition to OSU.
Next week, some of my closest friends will be heading out on their new adventures. I am finally getting excited (and have lost that sense of nervousness) when it comes to moving out to Virginia. I have done some research on things that are actually out in that area, in addition to speaking with some formal locals (thanks Aaricka)! Unlike Stillwater, Blacksburg has a whole foods store, some decent music venues, and mountains. I will be getting that guitar and will probably be stopping by Teavana to get some great brews.
In a few weeks, I will take my last adventure with my Stillwater friends. A few of us will be traveling to Fayetteville to help Jen in her transition. I'm not a big history buff, so I'm going for the farmer's market and coffee shops (and overall experience, I guess). Others are excited about seeing Clinton's House. Eh... What's $5.00? Let's hope for some good weather.
Alright, friends. That is it for this post. It has already gotten lengthy, but we needed to catch up on the past few weeks. Enjoy the rest of the weekend!
