I'll admit it...

... I failed. I'm kind of bummed I didn't complete my goal of taking a picture everyday of 2010. Maybe next year? Maybe next month? Who knows. (Before I die... definitely. I guess adding this to my Bucket List along with other things such as "Shoot A Gun" and "Go To Greece" is going to have to be good enough for now.)

So now what?

I'm just going to write.

This is what I'm feeling: appreciative, loved, excitedly anxious... BUMMED. I have to leave Texas in three weeks and this feeling has just hit me. (I just tweeted about it like 10 minutes ago.) I have Let Me by Pat Green playing on repeat reminiscing on my freshman year of college. I can't believe I have come this far, and I can't believe that it has gone this fast. I'm going to be home in Wisconsin for four whole months; away from my friends, my roommate, my campus, midnight rodeo, downtown Austin, two-stepping, legitimate country stations, cowboy boots, Texas restaurants, warm weather, pick-up trucks, etc... ugh.

At the beginning of the year, and even second semester, I could have never imagined staying here for the summer. I guess I just always felt like I'd be missing out if I don't go home. I've come to the realization that I wouldn't be missing out on much of anything if I didn't go home. Don't get me wrong, I'm pumped to hang out with my family this summer. That, I couldn't be more excited about. Also, being the maid of honor in my sister's wedding is going to be fabulous. It won't be so bad either to make a little bit of money after being broke for so long... but it's not the same. I'm going to miss the South!

I guess in the long run it will make my return in August that much sweeter.

Just one more thing... I'm definitely going to take advantage of these next three weeks.
