say do you remember...

Ack. I'm like 4 days behind. But it was 3 completely awesome and crazy days.

(5) I am thankful for layers of sweatpants and the patience that God has granted me.
(6): I am thankful for corn. gators. singing. dancing. cold nights. friends. ihop. glitter. unity. meredith college.
(7): I am thankful for nothing to do before 11am. simple deserts that make my friends smile. packed cars full of tipsy girls (except the driver, of course :] ).

So many amazing things. Cornhuskin' was everything it was supposed to be. I don't think there was a moment that wasn't fun. (I mean, even in the parade. I got to DRIVE the gator. epic.)
It was perfect and worth all the sleepless, sore and cold nights. Then there was just time to sit and rest, followed by more time to celebrate birthday with some incredible ladies. And THEN time to celebrate my wonderful grandmother's birthday at home with homemade lasagna, with my family. It was a perfect way to unwind. I've still got work to get caught up on, but really I know it'll get done.

To steal a phrase that I first heard from Kasey, then read on Kellie's twitter (almost simultaneously) Saturday I suffered from a cornhuskin' hangover. This achy, dream-like state, where I kept asking...did that really happen?!? But it did. And sadly it's over now. What is even sadder for me though, is that I feel like I don't event have time to miss it.
It's as if someone is beating me over the head with the SGA stick. Complaints about December commencement and the "budget crisis" dominate my email and conversations. I'm not complaining about my job, I'm really not. I love this. I love putting out fires, clarifying facts, being that voice for students (even though right now, I might not be super proud to represent some of these ladies), it's what I do and totally what I signed up for.
But it just kind of sucks that I don't even have time to get sentimental that my last cornhuskin' just ended. I mean, the first thing I did when I woke up Saturday was write an email to a girl wanting info about the budget. *sigh*

So much for things quieting down after cornhuskin'. Oh well, I'd rather that than just have life be boring.

"I can't remember when the earth turned slowly."


(8): I am thankful for not being sick, waking up next to my handsome boyfriend, my family and my boyfriend's family and their adorable westies.
