Once again, this time with feeling...

So, two and half years later, here I am realizing I had this when I went to comment on a friends blog. I had forgotten all about it. I do believe a little recapping is in order. I went to Europe a couple of times. First to Ireland, I lived and tried to find a job in Dublin. I failed at the job part, but oh well. I met a lot of lovely people. I learned a wee bit about being an immigrant, and how lovely it is to have English as my native language. I came home early since I ran out of money, but I came home just in time to be there for my best friend from growing up having her baby as well as attending Allyson's and Jesse;s wedding. The second time was in the spring of 2008, where I studying in Bosnia and Croatia and traveled all around Europe. I realized my love of the Balkans in all its eccentricities. I ended up focusing on learning BCS for the remainder of my college career over french. I gave up on french for now. So yes, I graduated with a degree in Euro Studies. I currently live in Capitol Hill for the next week and then I move to Belltown.

I think this time around I will figure out what I want to accomplish with this blog and actually have a focus.

Love is the air

So indeed it is that time of the year. And so many of my friends are pairing up. Not more than 2 hours ago we were toasted to the engagement of my friends, Allyson and Jesse. He had proposed last weekend so some the girls threw them a party at my house. It was fun. Barlow, a guy who I had not sen since last June, was there. I've missed Barlow but that's a side note. Three of my roommates are officially boyfriend/girlfriend with their mates. It's cute. But it makes me think "What about me?" and "Do I even want a boyfriend?" The answer is not right now. I will not get sucked into the pity me downward spiral. I feel like it would be hard to have one now knowing that I'll be gone for possibly 6 months in Ireland and France. C'est la vie. I'm too busy living my life and enjoying my single-girl ways. Only two months and 8 days till Europe!
