Finale Begin

This was the first day of my last semester in college.  Deep breath.  It's difficult to believe that four-and-a-half years have passed by.  This semester will be amazing.  Here are some of the things my roommate and I planned  at the end of last semester to experience before graduating:

1. Madrigal Dinner
2. Texercise - I'm going to say exercising counts
3. UT Tower Tour
4. Butterbeer
5. Austin Kite Festival - My roommie fulfilled this one
6. High Ball
7. Ballroom Dancing
8. Eeyore's Birthday
9. Live Music
10. Capital Tour
11. Holi

Although not on our list, we went rock-climbing yesterday at the gym.  From Tuesday until Thursday this week, there were a lot of free previews for activities offered around campus.  We stayed for about an hour climbing the wall, which is probably 20 feet high, but we barely reached halfway up.  I am definitely feeling it in my arms today.  I love that sore feeling, though, because it makes me feel like I accomplished a good workout.

The first class day was alright.  I think I'll really enjoy the oil and gas class I'm auditing.  Other than that, I've been studying for the CPA exam.  My first test is FAR, and I'm aiming to take that on February 4th.  Time to kick it into gear!  15 days left!

On Different Pages

A friend asked to go on a date.  I declined.  Surprisingly, I felt a little saddened because I felt like I had hurt a friend.  I've never dumped anyone, but I'm guessing this is a tiny semblance of how that feels.  Is it wrong that I didn't give him a chance?  If I were in his shoes, of course I would say it wasn't fair.  However, my heart doesn't beat faster when I see him.  I don't wait in anticipation until the next time we meet.

It took a lot for my heart to heal, and I feel like I wouldn't be doing it justice by settling for someone I didn't feel passionately for.
