“Looks like a storm’s a-brewin’!”

I. AM. DONE! With my first! Year! Of COLLEGE!!!

Iiiii can not believe this!! It’s…aahh!! I was talking to my best friend [Maria Rodriguez] about it yesterday, and I was like “Aahh :’( I’m done with my first year of colleeegggeeeuuhhaaahhhh!!” And her reply was AWESOME! “Ugh! Stop whining! This is exciting! You’re the first in your family to even go to college!” Bahahaaaa….I loved this because…1. She’s a junior in high school. Usually, I’m the one giving her advice and words of wisdom. 2. You just gotta see this girl…I grew up around her [we never talked until I was a sophomore in high school, but] she is the most quiest girl until you hang out with her…and she’s HILARIOUSSS…but in a real subtle way. ANYWAY…I don’t know what the point of this is….

The sweetest Asian girl came into the office earlier and she was so polite! She even asked if she could personally thank our International Advisor [Julie Russel] so I escorted her to her office and then she was thanking me for taking her to her office and I think she was trying to refrain from bowing but she was anyway and aaahh she was such a blessing!

So, this week was finals week. I studied soooo much for my History exam! Caitlyn, Courtney, and I and a couple of our friends [William Johnson and Michael Minasi] had three nights of study group. TONS of fun!! Turns out I helped them study more than I helped myself. Haha. [Brown v. Board of Education was in 1954 because 5 + 4 = 9!] <–Iiii totally forgot to put that in my essay! But they didn’t! Aaahh…haaahaaaa…   Lol.

So…this is the end…of a beautiful year. This past week, I’ve been hanging out with my friends from my residence hall, Brazos House. We’ve been having so much fun bonding before we say our goodbyes! From random Bethany runs to visiting the Chinese grocery store, to Ultimate Frisbee at 1am. Last night I stayed up until 6am hanging out with them. ….And then I had an exam at 8am. And here I am writing this blog. Because I am SO! DEDICATED! To my work!! Aaanndd Carl has been pressuring me alot. Haha. SPEAKING OF CARL PRESSURING ME…Yesterday, the admission counselors started helping us with those bagillion packets that we have to do…[Remember, TWELVE THOUSAND!!!] And Carl and I were partners and he was like, “Hurry up, Alexz! They’re beating us!” Apparently…we were racing? Haha. Now, I have a kagillion paper cuts!

Anyway, I grew so much this year. LIKE 5 INCHES!! Haha jk but I mean mentally. And this summer I’m doing an internship with a church in Montana. I just knoooow I’m going to come back so refined! I can’t wait. Well, this is my last blog for a while. :sigh:…I’ll let you guys know whether or not I passed History as soon as I find out. Stay unique.
