dear 30s...i thought (many years ago now) i would turn this magical number and have a career, maybe a child or two...a dog, a house, a bed skirt and frivolous things like that, maybe an Adirondack chair and a wrap-around porch.
i'm 30 and so far i fell on the ice and have been going to physical therapy since February for my shoulder, have been hospitalized with cellulitis, experienced loss, and somehow managed to complete my thesis.
30 is nothing like i planned. i threw away the list...i may never have those things, but i'm 30, i have a wonderful family and an amazing boyfriend, great friends, (almost finished with) a Master's degree, a job waiting for me when I graduate and i'm HAPPY, despite everything life has thrown at me ;) and maybe because everything life has thrown at me!
This post was inspired by a friend who has been looking forward to/dreading 30...EMBRACE IT!

21 days to Graduation...then the world is ours!
21 days to Graduation
13 days to the Thesis Presentation and Senior Art Show and last day of classes
14 days until all notes are due
12 days to a final lecture
9 days until the last day of internship
5 days until a group paper/presentation and individual literature review are due!
3 days until thesis is due again, hopefully for the last time
Then...the world is ours!
How will I fill my days when my thesis is completed and bound and when everything from all four of my classes isn't due on the same day? Here is my plan: try new recipes (daily), scrapbook, paint more often, check out some of the local museums, especially the art museums and the butterfly museum, read book because I want to, run 5ks and run with Michelle 2 or 3 x a week, and get excited for summer fun! Looking forward to some free time!

Endings and beginnings
Endings: Thesis is almost done...within the week. Graduation is less than a month away!
Beginnings: Last Tuesday I was offered a full-time job after I graduate in May, so happy!
In other news:
My wonderful boyfriend Andre surprised my with a beautiful bouquet of tulips for landing a job, working hard and just because he loves me! When I got out of the library at midnight (Wednesday) he gave them to me! :) ...Thank You! They are lovely and make me smile!
I also got to have lunch with an old friend and BFF (who is trying to make it on Broadway) who was in town - Thai food, stories of past adventures and sharing of artwork.
