Beautiful Mess

Somehow, I always find myself in too many things. Too many extracurricular activities (I mean seriously, an officer in two organizations at once? what was I thinking?), too many hours at work/tutoring, and too many classes. I started off college not doing anything outside of extracurriculars, homework, and school. I sat on my butt, went to football games in the fall and did homework in the spring on the weekends. I was the EPITOME of cool...

Being 21 has definitely changed that. I enjoy going out Wednesday nights instead of spending them in my "palace-prison" Shelby (the College of Engineering building here at Auburn).

Outside of Shelby, facing a street

Which is what I'm currently doing tonight. I feel TOTALLY COMPLETELY at home in Shelby... It is a wonderful building. I feel super safe and there are tons of computers everywhere and everyone is either pretending to do work or actually doing work (I happen to be pretending right now)... and the third floor has rooms that only INSY majors can use, so all these randos in the bottom computer lab would not be able to get into them.

Right now, I'm procrastinating finishing the draft of my resume for my Professional Practices class. I also had to write a cover letter, and it could be generic, but I fashioned it like I was going to apply to a job with Michelin. Let's be real, I can't do generic. I'm also currently working on a super awesome computer program where when processing times and due dates are entered for jobs, I can find the "optimal" solution using a specific algorithm. Whoa, that sounds really difficult... I guess that's why I'm still not done yet, which is totally okay because it is not due until Tuesday. However, if I don't get this dumb "while" loop to work I might have to cut someone or complain.



No big deal. This weekend is supposed to be a super fun one for me, as I am having a visitor and going to yet another thrilling game between Auburn and Mississippi State. Kappa is also having their Parent/Alumni tailgate with Mike & Ed's BBQ.... You better believe I'm going. Me + Free Food = Match Made In Heaven.

I've been yawning and stretching my arms in this computer lab for an hour now, so maybe it is time to go home... But I've been researching what to do when I go to Europe/France and need a phone (for 6 months!). I've decided that I'm going to bring my Blackberry along with me and ask Verizon if they can unlock it for me to use it in France... I also want to get an iPhone but that's beside the point, I need to wait until the iPhone5 comes out this month to Verizon. When I went last Thursday the employees had yet to be told when it was coming out!! Ridiculous... I just need to know when to hound my mother enough so that she says yes :)

Also, the fact that my savings account will decrease two-fold when I go to Europe really stresses me out. What is the point of saving $5,000 if it's only going to be worth 2,500 Euro... and I'm not all too sure that the Euro actually goes further in Europe than a dollar goes in the US... For example... say I were to fly to Greece one weekend.... I don't want to blow my whole savings account on that one trip!

Traveling is MY LIFE. I LOVE TRAVELING. I love museums, art, different cultures, pretty sights, etc. I would be devastated if my traveling was diminished because of the dollar to euro exchange rate.

$1.4 for every 1 euro

All this is for another day though. Happy Wednesday/Thursday!
