the future is upon us

So today is New Year's Eve...I am happy. I am. I am excited for things to come. I'm even more excited that this is closing in on the time I'm having to stay in Georgia. I'm a little scared of the unknown (of course) and I'm just...impatiently-patiently waiting for what will....what will become of me, my life, my relationships, my friends, my family, my future.....ah, there's just so much! And interestingly enough I feel like this portion of my life is moving rather rapidly. Though I'm happy about that in one sense, cause I'm so ready to get my professional life on...I'm not ready I fear...I'll have to like legit be an adult and whoa. Why am I totally thinking really hard about where I'll be working when I finish school (NEXT MAY) and where and with whom I'll be living. Brittany and I have been discussing living together since the two of us will be real adults and out of school and working for real. I think we can do it. I think with separate rooms and separate bathrooms we're a perfect pair. I think I'm most anal cleanliness of the bathroom and sleeping space, so if we're apart in that regard there's no need for tiffs. It'll be good. Great actually. Though I enjoy living with myself, I think it'll be great to live with someone I like and care about and who likes similar things as me...or who will at leas humor me, and vice versa. And we have history. It'll be so great. And we can cook and entertain guests. I'm excited. I'm perusing apartment finder.com right now. I figure she and I can live in a townhouse maybe...or since she's done this year, maybe in an apartment that has 1-bedrooms and spacious 2-bedrooms and I'll just come into the picture post graduation. Who knows...I dunno...I'm going to try to focus on the current future...me finishing this semester, gettin' an internship (hopefully in town) and finishing grad school in general. Ok. done.

Changed my mind.

So I decided when I started, on a whim, that this blog would be to chronicle my experiences in Athens. Then today, just now, as I'm thinking I want to describe much of today...I am realizing that technically based on what I said its usage would be for, I can't use this blog for my in Texas goings-on...which would only mean I would have to create a separate blog for bein' at home in Texas...and I presently have two...and I think adding a third would be a bit excessive especially because it's not like I'm home that regular...meaning the Texas blog would essentially disappear into oblivion. So....long statement....told long....I re-vamped said Athens blog, to just allow me to express me. Besides Athens isn't that worthy of an entire piece of webspace.

Definitely totally know that that anything but brief introductory paragraph is completely the opposite of necessary, but hey...let me do what I do.

Anyway...I'm at home for like the 20th consecutive day since I've been home. Not having a car is definitely not the business. The only good thing about this is that without a car I don't have to worry about spending money that I need to keep. So, I guess I'm happy about that. But at the same time I'm still so freakin' bored all the time.

Ok well...before this post becomes completely boring, I'll depart.....for now.

Why does Athens suck so much?!?

Alright, so I decided on this here blog thing, mainly cause Brittany has one and I can only follow her blog if I have one of my own. Anyway...this one I decided shall be for the life and times of me, in Athens. I'm currently stationed (love how that sounds like I'm in some sort of armed force or whatever) in Athens, Georgia for my graduate program. The city sucks and the state sucks equally. I really can't put my finger on what sucks the most. But I do know that living in a town where there are no local radio stations, the most popular bank is the BB&T, there is no major highway, there is no Buffalo Wild Wings, only 1 skating rink and 1 bowling alley, and the people have forgotten that we are no longer in 1963....is no bueno.

Basically I'm gonna try to just discuss life in Athens. The ups the downs and all that junk that's in the middle. Hopefully the picture (though at times grim for me) will bring a smile to someone's eye...if not....it's very cathartic, so all is well.
