...is amazing.

So, update...I'm leaving for China in 5 days; that's a little crazy to me. I was selected to be an International Ambassador for Western Oregon U. in a new program, so I get to flit about China with a group and tell people about WOU. Did I mention it's free?...yes, yes it's free. I'm SO incredibly excited, but I'm also pretty damn nervous...I've never been farther from home than Kentucky [and while that's more or less another country compared to the Northwest, I still don't think it counts as real experience traveling .] I'll probably be posting pictures of the MILLIONS that I will take, so never fear! And I'll be keeping a journal so I don't forget any of the amazing things I get to do
Other than that, I'm starting finals week; nothing more needs to be said about that than BARF...yes, that sums it up nicely.
Oh, finally, my boyfriend proposed!! He did an amazing job proposing, and I definitely cried like a little bitch...but I'm supposed to because I'm the girl. We'll be getting married July 18th of 2010, and I'm already freaking out...but again, it's okay because I'm supposed to. I did get my favorite color as one of the "theme colors" so that was rad. It'll be a dark-ish purple/white/silver/some black accents wedding, and I'm pretty excited about the possibilities; one advantage of being artistically inclined is that I can do whatever the hell I want with pretty much any colors and make it look damn good
Really, the rest of my life is consumed with packing and making sure that I'm out and ready to go by Friday, because Saturday is one of my best friend's wedding (which I'm in) and then I'm leaving Sunday morning from Monmouth at 3:00am...so I'll probably not sleep that night, some how stay awake on the 4 1/2 hour flight, and then take a tranquilizer (provided by the school's Health and Counseling Center) and pass the eff out on the 14-15 hour flight. I thought it was a good idea
I'll most likely be writing a trip update when I get back.
Peace
