So, I just got a phone call from Robert Schwartzman of Rooney to say hi and congratulate me on my impending graduation from college.  And no, that is not a joke.  It's one of the cooler things to happen to me recently.  My sister went to their show since they were in my lovely town of Omaha and she got him to call me from her phone, it was pretty neat.  So, thanks to Robert, I was already having a great day and it was a pretty awesome way to top it off.

I've been working my tail off this week. Papers, studying for exams, taking exams, finishing up loose ends, the whole bit really.  And I. am. tired.  It's ridiculous.  And I am desperately out of motivation, not a good symptom for this time of year.  I am so much out of motivation that I have actually been having to incentivize nearly everything I've had to do this week.

I made a deal with myself that if I got my studying for the two exams I had this week out of the way, prepare all my study materials for next week's finals, write the entirety of the rough draft for my paper on shield law, finish loose ends at work and with PRSSA that I was allowed to take Thursday (today) off.  It was hard and quite frustrating but I did it.

My morning started with sleeping in, well as much sleeping in as a person who is accustomed to waking up at 6 AM everyday can sleep in.  Ran to Starbucks for a Venti Skim Hot Chocolate and then headed to the nail salon to get my long awaited pedicure, it was glorious.  I did have to make a stop by class but that wasn't too bad, there were cupcakes there.

From there I spent the afternoon with Ryan at Panera and walking around the nature trails in Bowling Green -- I actually jumped a fence in my dress today!  I'm pretty self-impressed by that, especially since I managed to not break anything.  But I had NO idea that Bowling Green was that pretty.  Oh my gosh, it was gorgeous out there and the smell of burning wood...smelled so good.

After that with was dinner and drinks on Bart, one of my faculty advisor's for an organization I'm in and then it was Iron Man with the boys which was an a-maz-ing movie.  I loved it.  In fact, it's probably one of the better movies in the superhero genre that I've seen.  Although, it'll be hard-pressed to beat Dark Knight if it's as awesome as it's being made out to be.

So in the matter of 5 days I will be DONE with college.  Praise the dear Lord in Heaven.  I'm totally stoked.

The Westboro Baptist Crazies are headed on their way to Bowling Green, look out for another spirit-filled blog on that, I'm sure it'll be interesting.
