Hello. Goodbye.

Another year has come and gone in the life of this UAlbany student, and it's making me feel crazy knowing that I only have one more year left.  Already, half of my college career is gone, and I've made amazing friends, experience insane random incidents, and seen things that I never will be able to again.  Friends are starting to leave (ahem, Danielle and Aaron), which means next year will be one heck of a ride, trying to make new friends, learning new material (this one being a biggie considering I'm taking six classes next semester and possibly getting an internship in the spring), and everything else that comes along with doing things for the first time without a set of training wheels.  
As for now, I know I haven't been great at updating this, mostly because of my bad habit of procrastinating for most of my classes.  I managed to pull out two eight page papers in two nights, both of which didn't require me to stay up until the sun rose.  I remember the feeling of about two tons of bricks being lifted from my shoulders after those were completed.  Of course I knew about a month ahead of time when those papers were due, but being the lazy college student that I am, I waited until the weekend before.  You've got to love those moments in life.  Where else can you fully appreciate  your work until you get it done at the last possible moment?
Also, I guess, I was actually out doing things for a change.  Believe me, it was a shocker.  The fact that I managed to do fun things outside of my room was a huge difference, but whatever, I'm a new person now, if you want to call it that.  I saw Dane Cook perform live on a stage.  I stumbled through an intense crowd of drunken college students all huddled in a giant fountain.  I smelled dozens of tulips and greasy food as I walked through Tulip Fest in Washington Park.  It was an amazing spring semester and I'm going to miss it.  
Goodbye Albany amazingness.  Hello dull, three month long summer.
