this post is inspired by a note that kiersten mitchell wrote, and posted on her facebook. i’ve been realizing lately that i don’t really get angry, so much as i get annoyed. and here are some of the top things that annoy the $#!^ out of me

1. if you are ALWAYS complaining about a situation, but never work to change it…you just annoyed the $#!^ out of me!

2. if you are ALWAYS proclaming how you are a grown man/grown woman, but repeatedly handle situations like a child (and wonder why you get those results)…you just annoyed the $#!^ out of me!

3. if you are a pedestrian and you INSIST upon crossing the street at the WRONG time, and then have the AUDACITY to look at me wrong when i almost pummel your behind with the honda…you just annoyed the $#!^ out of me!

4. if you consistently approach me with your issues and your problems without even so much as ASKING how i’m doing at all…you just annoyed the $#!^ out of me!

5. if you always feel the need to call somebody on their issues, but don’t want anybody to mention your own…you just annoyed the $#!^ out of me!

6. if you apologize for an action, then try to explain away said action…you just annoyed the $#!^ out of me!

this list is to be continued…but in the mean time, what annoys the $#!^ out of you?

The last few weeks have been rough for me here in Athens, but I’ve finally made it to Spring Break. It’s weird because this will be my last Spring Break…at least as a student…for a while. I should be out somewhere drinking myself stupid and tanning myself until I get malignant melanoma…BUT…I’ll be in Athens, working away.

So, what am I really up to these days? The short answer is trying to stay afloat. More specifically, that means: fulfilling requirements for graduation (tests, papers, etc), applying for jobs for next year, trying to work hard and save money for that transitional phase of life, and trying to enjoy the last bit of time that I’ll be in school for a while.

Life has been hard. It’s really been kicking my behind. I’ve been feeling kind of the way I felt right before I graduated from UNC. I know that I believe, but I’m not really sure why. It’s some sort of weird and inadequate, yet consistent faith. I’m not even sure if that makes sense, but it does in my mind…

I’m particularly grateful for people who have been helping me stay afloat. The encouragement, the love, and the prayers have been much needed and much more appreciated. I really think I have the best friends in the world and I’m grateful that God has blessed me with them.

So, here’s to making the last 62 days at UGA count, getting the job that God has for me, and being encouraged in the entire process…

Peace and Blessings!
