It's been more than a month since my last post and for that I sincerely apologize. I will admit that I was actually halfway decent with keeping current this time, but the last month has just been a complete blur of good times.

First of all, for those that might be unaware, I started working at the Urban Outfitters here in Baton Rouge this October. It's almost been two months and I cannot give enough praise to this place. My coworkers are absolutely brilliant and a blast to work with. The people I work with ate so unique and so...authentic...that I feel completely at home working there. It doesn't hurt that the Urban "style" isn't too far off from my preferences, so there's that too.

Of course, I can't forget to update you on my school situation. I finished finals a week ago and I couldn't be happier. I know I did poorly on two of my finals -- I thought I was prepared but apparently I was not. And you know what? I'm okay with that. I realize I can do better and next semester is another chance at improvement.

Now, there are a few other wonderful updates that I'm sure non of you are dying to hear. I'm definitely hoping to head back to California this break. I don't think I'll make it back for my birthday but I absolutely must celebrate my birthday in California. I will feel incomplete until I do so.

Oh, yeah, there's a girl that I've fallen for. Yep.

I say y'all quite a bit now, so feel free to make fun of me for that all you want.

I'm fairly certain I'm smarter, healthier and happier where I am right now. Maybe it was just the transition to fully living on my own, or the actual college experience, or the "fresh" start.

Who knows the real answer, but I'm ecstatic.

You?
