Although I am a bit under the weather (damn allergies), I am feeling a lot better about myself lately. I have been in the process of making some really big decisions lately and everything seems to be falling into place. Thank you to all my friends who have been so supportive lately. I really appreciate it! Many of you are probably confused, but just know that your support has really helped.

So it's the week before finals. Holy crap! Finals are next week! I'm not prepared. Well, I'm prepared but not as prepared as I want to be. I really need to get to work! Unfortunately, there's no time: paper due on Friday, Ciara concert on Friday night - which I have to work at (I'm on the CAB at UCF and we're putting it on), Kelly Clarkson concert back home on Saturday, Back to Orlando on Sunday, Finals start Tuesday! AHH! It will all be worth it once finals are over and I will be home for a whole month!

I'm off to bed.

It's Thanksgiving and I figured I should blog since I have a spare minute before I hit the sack. This year has given me so much to be thankful for, I don't even know where to start. Let's just say I am thankful for all of the good Lord's blessings this year. It's crazy to think that this time last year, I was a senior in high school with way too much on his plate in school (not at Turkey Day dinner) and was probably planning my next retreat in my head while at the dinner table with all my family while eating turkey. Yeah, that sounds about right. I'm happy though that it was that way though. It made life that much more exciting.

The day is still really young, considering I'm blogging at 12:30 in the morning. Thanksgiving dinner should be good, as everyone across America shoves large amounts of food in their faces. That's always fun. The rest of the day will be filled with the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade, football, and the occasional nap.

I'm so glad to be home, it's rediculous. These past two days have been a real eye-opener for me and I'm so thankful for the people who have made it that way. Lots of exciting stuff to look forward to with the end of the year approaching.

I'm off to bed but I'll blog again soon!

Keep Rockin',
Austin

P.S. - I'm still trying to convince my mom to go "Black Friday" shopping with me. I don't mean crazy, wait in line at 2 a.m. to get the doorbuster deals at 6 a.m. at Target. I just mean regular shopping. We'll see what happens.

I am so happy that it is finally the weekend. This past week was filled with so much school work, it's redic - test, speech, papers. Lordy, I'm just glad that it is over.

Thanksgiving break is next week and I do not think I could be more excited. I really need to see my family and friends that are back home. Withdrawls have already been kicking in, that's for sure. Everytime I leave home, it seems that I miss it more. It really sucks but I need to learn to deal with it, at least for now. I have some really great things planned for the break, which is exciting. So much to look forward to.

After thanksgiving, I have a week before finals start. Eek. I am finally taking my first round of college finals. That is so insane. This past semester has gone by so fast, it's insane. I think next semester will go by even faster though. I am taking more classes than I am now and I'll basically be on campus all the time. After finals, I'm home for Christmas. That's sweet because I am home for a whole month and I am going to NYC the 21st of December until the 24th.

Wow! So much to look forward to. So much to be thankful for. I'm hoping 2008 has some good stuff in store. We'll have to see what's going on. I have some projects I am working on.

I'm off to bed, considering it is now after 2 a.m. I have to be up in 8'ish hours too. Gosh, aren't I just smart? Haha. It's all good. At least I can chuckle at myself though.

Keep Rockin',
Austin

It has been a while since I have posted on my blog, so I figured I would make more of an effort to do so.

The past couple of weeks have been completely insane. I don't even remember what has happened. It is almost the end of the semester. I have like three weeks left. Wow, that's insane. I feel like I just moved to Orlando only a few weeks ago.

This week is going to be a good one. No class tomorrow, Dane Cook on Wednesday, what could be better? haha.

More to post later!
