Wednesday Noon
Good afternoon, all! Here is just an update on my week. It’s the third week of summer class here at Georgia Southern University and I’m up to my eye balls in school work and regular work! Overall, I have to admit, I’d be miserable any other way. I like to be busy, in fact, I thrive from it! On the other hand, it’s summer time- and that means that occasionally get a little envious of the fact that everyone I know is at the pool except for me! There, I’m done pouting.
Summer time has been great so far. I am really enjoying the feeling of ease that encompasses Statesboro when there are far fewer students and much less traffic! Directly after Spring Finals a couple weeks ago I vacationed on Ameilia Island with some friends for a long weekend. It was the perfect getaway and just long enough to feel ready to come back home and get started on some new classes and working almost full-time. The following weekend, the third weekend in May, I joined my family in Atlanta for the Spring Special Olympics Games for SOGA’s Master League Tournament. My sister, Katie, competed in the swimming competition. She placed 2nd in the breast stroke and fifth in the back stroke. It was an awesome weekend! I really enjoyed seeing my mom and sister and even got some extra time to hang out with a few friends on Saturday night.
This past weekend I went home for Memorial Day and to our family’s lake house with some of my dad’s family. I also brought a boy home for the first time ever! While I’ve dated in the past, I have never had the urge to bring someone home to meet my family. It was a pretty big step- and the best part is that Connor, the boy, was not too frightened by my huge, loud and crazy family!
The extenuated circumstances in which I was led to bring Connor home is that we are going on a trip together in July. Connor is from The Bahamas, and he has invited me home with him, so we’ll spend a week with his family there. The catch is that even though I have been really excited about traveling to The Bahamas since I bought my ticket a few weeks ago, my mom was not thrilled about me going to foreign country with a stranger. After analyzing the situation for a few days, I decided that this is actually a very valid point… So, that is how this big deal began.
Anyway, so my family loves him and now we’re set for traveling next month! The idea that I’m coming across is that so far, this summer has been awesome! I have done many fun and exciting things and now that I’ve considered it, this has been one of the best summer’s yet, and we’re only a few weeks in!

Here is another blog that I check in on almost every single day.
This is my guilty pleasure! This blog is full of celebrity scandal, dirt and rumors. Perez Hilton, as the King of Celebrity Gossip, relishes in this vulgar environment of Hollywood Glamour gone bad! Hilton pushes the line when it comes to the awe-factor because many of his posts are totally inappropriate and outlandish. Even though I know much of the information on this site it totally bogus, I still enjoy it.
Perez’s following keeps multiplying throughout the years. When he began blogging a few years ago, he was not known at all. To me, this goes to show that the average person can become and do whatever they want. Perez’s fame has grown exponentially throughout the years because of his signature ability to break all the rules. Perez Hilton is just about as dirty as they come, and that’s why we all love him!
Way to go, Perez!

Blogging is an easy and fun outlet for almost anyone to express opinions, share ideas or just blab on the web! I began blogging for class, here at Georia Southern University, about six monthes ago. At first blogging seemed to be a waste of time and not much fun at all, but now I appreciate the act of sharing ideas via the web. It is very easy and blogging can be as serious or goofy as you choose!
Since I have started blogging, I have alo begun to read other’s blogs. Initially it seemed kind of crazy to be reading someone else’s work just for the fun of it. But now, it is easy to see that you do not need to be rich and famous to have a voice. There are many many people who have stories and ideas that are incredible and deserve attention. I have found a couple of pages that are my “go-to” when I’m looking for some reading.
1.) Keeping Up With The Burnams
I went to highschool with Devis Burnam and though we have never been really good friends, I have steadily kept up with her admirable and courageous life as a new wife and mother through this blog. She is an excellent writer- she’s very funny and captivating. Devis also writes very emotionally. Although I haven’t seen this girl for several years, I feel as though we are having a conversation together most every time I read her blog. I am rooting for you, Devis!
