I'm Back!!!! (plus a SURPRISE!)

Hello all you lovely blogsters! I'm back and I'm SOOO happy to be blogging/reading all your wonderful blogs again! Since I have a lot to catch up on, I'm going to do a little bulleted list, and there's a surprise at the end so you best keep reading!

  • I'm DONE with my undergraduate college education - yay! yay! yay! It was one of the most stressful and hectic two weeks of my life (a week of finals followed by writing not one but two ridiculously long papers!).
  • I graduate on Friday - yipee! I finally get to wear the white J.Crew dress I bought for the occasion and I'm so excited - it's going to be a great day! I'm the first of my grandparents' (on my mom's side) grandchildren to graduate college so I think it's going to be extra special for them :o)
  • I have decided upon and I'm sending in my seat-saving non-refundable despoit for LAW SCHOOL next fall! I'm excited to say that I'm going to my first choice, though there has been some serious drama in the decision (more in a later post). Anyway, the law school I'm attending was recently named one of the Top 100 Law Schools in the Country, so I'm really excited about this!
  • I got a summer job and started it this past weekend and all I can say is that I think I'm going to have an AWESOME summer! I had so much fun and although I'm only waitressing for the time being, I might be able to bartend in the future, which is fine by me! Any ladies that will be venturing to the lower-mid Cape this Summer must comment/e-mail me and come visit on my permanent Saturday lunch shift! The place is great and the food is soooo yummy!
  • The weather is FINALLY getting nice! Weeeeeeee! I'm super pumped for warm weather (this weekend it was in the EIGHTIES - holy crap!) and I'm going out today to get my bike tires pumped so I can go for a ride!
  • I came to the realization this weekend that I desperately need to get my butt in gear... By this I mean for the past semester I have totally slacked on my diet (not really a diet but a smart decision food-eating lifestyle rather than my current eat-anything-sweet-and-chocolaty lifestyle) and working out. I must remedy this before bikini season (which is TOO CLOSE FOR COMFORT!)... I've gained about 5 pounds and I want it off - NOW!
  • Ok... now for the exciting news....
  • are you ready???
  • Are you as excited for me to be back as I am???
  • If you are....
  • Then...
  • you should...
  • ENTER MY FIRST GIVEAWAY!!!!!!!

I'm always on the Cape LOL, a definite bonus to being a Rhode Islander is our close proximity to the Cape and nearby islands.

Exciting thing I'm doing this summer-heading to my family's home in Northeast Harbor,ME. Hey, I love it there so it's always exciting to me :-)
