Tomorrow, Tomorrow

I have 2 papers standing between me and freedom. And by freedom I mean summer. I know this sounds like every other student during finals week but I am so relieved that I'm this close to finishing. I've obviously gone through finals before but this time was the absolute worst. I was one more item on my to-do list away from a having a mental freak out. Yet here I sit almost free, with the slightest smile on my face. I just finished my last final of the day and I now have to finish writing papers, pack, sell back books, and catch a flight home tomorrow. So these next 24 hours are going to be great. Since I'm sure I won't be on here again for awhile, I'll say it now: Goodbye New York, see you again...maybe.

Good luck to everyone that's suffering along with me this week!

So.....

QuĂ© pasa everybody? Today is cinco de mayo and I'm celebrating by watching television and reading a book for class about Bostwana! The last few weeks have been a little hectic with some lingering midterms and term papers being due. But I managed to finish everything on time and now only have 3 papers and 3 exams left until I'm finished with my final semester at NYU! That's right, I said "FINAL SEMESTER AT NYU" I've been agonizing for close to a year about transferring to a place that's in the Midwest and I've finally heard back from one school I applied to and...I got into Vanderbilt!! I'm still waiting to hear back from others in lovely Chicago but Vanderbilt is a big possibility for me. I think I'll miss New York once I'm gone but I know that it was never the right place for me. I've tried to soak up all that I can though in these past few weeks though (museum trips, central park visits, going grocery shopping at the TJs in Chelsea). And I've met a few good friends while I've been here; but enough about all that.

I go home in 11 days!! I can't wait! Not only will I be home but it will finally be summer! And I already have a few things to look forward to (aka 5/13 and 7/19)...so we'll see how that goes. Amanda and I are also ready for tour again. It's been too long and we have a few things that need to be crossed off our bucket list like KV13 and San Bernardino. So I'm sure we'll at least accomplish those while driving through the desert in style. I'm also working on a playlist for the summer. At the top of my list right now is "I Need Your Love" - Calvin Harris ft. Ellie Goulding. It's perfect for summer!

Must go back to life now, PEACE out girl SCOUT

P.S. So...... (snobby)

"Get Some" Mexican Sun

Hey hey! So I decided that it was time to write again because a) it's been awhile and b) I read 4 chapters of biology today, so I earned it. As you may have guessed, I'm back at school at NYU in NYC. Classes started Tuesday and that's about all that's interesting about that. Right now, I'm not sure how much longer I'll be here in NYC as I am possibly having a change of plans in the near-ish future.

Anyway, since the last time I posted I went to Mexico! I went with my mom, stepdad, and some family friends. It was so much fun and so beautiful but let's be real: me and my hair don't like that Caribbean humidity. Plus most of the drinks (water, milk, juice) were warm...eww. But we got to do a lot of fun shit, including my favorite thing: seeing the ruins of Tulum.

I'm still peeling from my sunburn BTW. Also, my sister, Amanda, and I are only 9 days and 1.5 hours from what is going to be an "interesting" day at worst. I'll let you know how that concert goes after I start breathing again. Kidding, but seriously, going from seeing someone on a regular basis to twice in the past year is obviously going to make that whole shindig interesting. At least if anything goes badly, Amanda and I will be in our favourite city in the world, CHICAGO! 

At some point, I'm going to post another list-like entry that sums up some of my favourite albums...but for now, I must go. 

P.S. I think it's important that you know I'm currently listening to "Forfeit (Live)" and smiling. Just listen and you'll know why. You can't miss out on the voice of a sexy sheep!
