Nostalgia

The sky is blue and all the leaves are green! ....FINALLY. After a week and a half or so of crap, I was beginning to wonder if I was ever going to get outside. Of course, I wish I could be outside with Jackie in California, but thats neither here nor there. Speaking of California, I feel as if everyone is suddenly moving there, or wanting to move there. I realize its out west, and generally speaking this isn't unheard of, but I didn't know so many people wanted to move there that I knew personally. I'm excited and ready for an adventure. Iowa is great, but right now I need a big city to do big things. Good logic.

Speaking of new/bigger things, my bed is LARGE. The frame is an antique, from my mom's first apartment. Its cool, but I didn't realize it sat so high off the ground. Its AWESOME. I definitely didn't want to get out of bed this morning. The room itself is still pretty bare, I haven't gotten around to decorating it. I think a trip to Goodwill could change that. I love thrifty cheap awesome stuff!

Tomorrow is June 18th. Now, in most cases it is just any day of the month/year. But my friends, tomorrow is different. THE WIZARDING WORLD OF HARRY POTTER OPENS IN FLORIDA. Holy buckets, batman. I heard about the park itself two years ago when I went to Disneyworld for spring break. I've wanted to go back ever since. I really do hope to make my way there someday, with a group of people who are seriously interested in going. It would be so much fun! I looked at a few pictures of the cast at the park too, and it looks wicked awesome. Toy Story 3 also opens this weekend, and as this is the closest to magic I can get, I'm definitely dragging someone with me to see it. Its pretty much my childhood in a box, kind of obligated. I've heard good things so far from friends who work at the theatre, so I am quite excited!

This week, I've been in a panic thinking about life after graduation. I love my major, but just like every other college student, I don't really know what I want to do with it. I've been researching online, and I've loved what I've found so far. I also started looking for jobs in CA...wishful thinking. I figure it can't hurt.

On a side note, whenever I think about California I want to have a Cherry Coke. I think it has something to do with Jackie's mom, she loves them. And now, for nostalgia's sake, I think I might have one.

  2. This is Jackie. I'm getting a blog so I can comment on here, non-creepily gmail style.

    This isn't the same without you here! Every time I pass by something super duper, I think about how you would like it. Sad pumpkins.

    But I'll see you soon and we can plan August. :)
