Oh one more thing, I'll most likely always be signed into MSN Messenger when I'm at school. Since it's free it would be a good way to stay in contact. My MSN messenger email is kellywyland@hotmail.com so look for me to be online and we can talk!!
So I really thought that I was going to be able to sleep tonight since I'm not leaving tomorrow..... but I was wrong. I'm freaked out at the fact that I leave in 29 and 1/2 hours. Although excitement has started to replace my pure terror of venturing to a different continent! I've started to realize that people travel to different countries all the time and I'm not sure what I'm so afraid of. I think that it has to do with the fact that I think I'm not prepared enough or I'm forgetting something. However, I have to remember, I'm not going to a freakin third world country... this is Italy, it is that fashion icon of the world after all! Also, I think I'm terrified about limited contact with family and JON! Jon and I have never gone more than like 8 hours without talking... pathetic I know but I kinda like the kid. It's going to be hard but absence makes the heart grow fonder right? I'll let you guys know how that works out for me. Well anyways, make sure to check in as you can follow along with me through my journey in Europe. I'm hoping that I'll have more access to the internet than Stacy. I know that I at least have free internet at the school. So wish me good luck and remember when in Rome.... look for me! Ciao bellas!!
Megan loves to watch herself on Photo Booth on my computer so I took pictures of her. It's all giggles and laughs until she trys to climb onto my computer to give herself a kiss... then we have to say all done. So here are some pictures I've taken lately.
Blowing Kisses
What is going on?
Peek-a-Boo!!
So Big!
Seeing Twins!
Lion Megan... Roar!
So I'm finally done with studio!! I had my review yesterday. Mom and Dad came again this was their third time coming to one of my final reviews. I love it when they come, it makes me feel special! I like that they get to see what I'm up to and what I have been working on so hard the whole term. But thought I'd share my work with all of you! So here are some of my final drawings.
On the chance of sounding mushy. Have you ever had those moments in the mist of being tired and feeling sorry for yourself that you just think... I'm so lucky. That is the moment I have almost every time that I see Jon. He keeps my sane and keeps me going. I feel to fortunate to have meant him. He is a glass half full kind of person were as I'm a glass half empty. He is incredibly optimistic sometimes annoyingly optimistic but its good for me because he can find the good in any situation that I think in hopeless. We both have crazy schedules during school but we always find the time to be there for each other. Just in case you didn't know from this... I love him and that is not feeling I often share with all of you.
With finals approaching I haven't been able to post for a while. I can't believe that I'm nearing the end of my junior year. If I was any other college student I would be heading out in the world on my own in one year. However, I guess you could say I'm lucky that I have TWO more years. It's weird that all my friends are preparing for graduation this year and they have jobs lined up in New York, San Diego and Portland. In a way I'm so jealous of them. Don't get me wrong college is great and I have realized so many things while being here but it's starting to get old and Eugene is starting to wear me down. I've been thinking about all the experiences that I've had here... those funny and not to funny... so here it goes.
The bad and the funny.. only in Eugene
1. Having a freshman roommate that brings nappy boys back to my room
2. Having a boy crying outside of my dorm room until all odd hours of the night crying for my roommate
3. All nighters for studio
4. Having a bum on his bike run into my car while driving...while his hundreds of cans scatter down a hill
5. Waking up to the noise of bums going through my trash and recycling
6. Getting hit in the head with a football and taking a face plant into the grass.... we all know this one well.
7. Getting in a car accident because some moron thought that it was a two way street...when almost all the streets in Eugene are ONE WAY.
8. Having my car get hit twice while being parked on my street and both times... no note!
9. Getting surrounded by two bums in an alley that asked me if I had any money but were too messed up to follow up on any threats.
10. Having three cans of Raspberry soda explode in my car the one day that is was 90 degrees in Eugene.
The Good
1. Meeting the love of my life
2. Realizing that I do need my family
3. Finding true friends.... not self involved spoiled children from Tualatin
4. Getting to do what I love while getting a degree
5. Being able to get pizza at any hour of the night for 5 dollars...unlike Tualatin
6. Pita Pit and Dough Co.
7. Oregon Football games
I think that the good could out weigh the bad...
Mom and Dad came down to visit last weekend and to go to Jon's game against BYU. We walked to the field that they were playing on because it was a beautiful day. We took pictures on the bridge on the way over.
The boys didn't win but someone did get quite a sunburn.
