First blog

I really should be studying for my Biology final, but instead I'm sitting here in the living room with my peppermint tea, looking at the paper chains and snowflakes that we've hung all over the room. I can hardly wrap my mind around the fact that my first semester in College Station is winding to a close. Even harder to grasp is the reality that our wonderful roommate, Annie, will be leaving on Friday, not to return to Texas until next August! This apartment will feel strange next semester without her joyous laugh and infectious energy, but I know she'll have a wonderful time studying abroad in Costa Rica!

I don't think I would even be on my poor, neglected blog right now had I not just helped her establish her own blog. "It's so easy, Annie! And way less threatening than sitting down to write a whole ginormous email. You just put up a picture, or say 'hey! this is what happened today!' "

Ha ha...I'm such a hypocrite. If it's so easy, why is this my first blog entry...? Actually, it is kinda fun. :) We'll see if I write tomorrow.
