I'm A Happy Camper

What a great weekend!!! Even though I didn’t get Friday or Monday off, and I only got to be at grandma’s for six hours on Sunday, and we got stuck in traffic so it took us 4 hours and fifteen minutes to get to Miami, and I had to stay up till 6:45 am to get my model done for Design cause I couldn’t work on it over the weekend, and I’m dead tired because I decided to go home instead of stay and do homework, I had a FABULOUS weekend and getting no sleep last night and getting no sleep again tonight was totally worth going home for!!!

I mean…I got to see Amy Dahl FINALLY!!! I got to party with all the boys Friday and Saturday night. I got to see Bobby, Josh, Will, and Brandi too. I got to see Blades of Glory. I got to eat desserts!!!! YEA!!!! This weekend was just what I needed to get me out of this “work” stress I’ve been freaking out about. Granted I still have two 5 page papers next week, an 8 page paper next week, and two more 5 page papers the week after that, and then 5 final exams, 1 project, and 1 presentation the week after that. But I am not fretting about it. I’ve been in this predicament before- every semester and although it’s going to be hell I will get through it. And then summer will be here!! I am a happy camper!! Here are some other reasons (15 of course!) Marissa is happy…

1. I just got a new bathing suit and new tennis shoes and they are BOTH green!!
2. I’ve lost weight/inches and can now fit into those pants that I thought I would have to take back to the store (they are my new favorites!)
3. I haven’t been this in shape since the middle of summer
4. I just got officially accepted to Study Abroad in Greece this coming Fall
5. Billy Joel Concert in Cleveland this weekend
6. Seeing Pirates of Penzance in Cincinnati next weekend
7. My new job this summer and all the money I’m going to make
8. Because I’m studying abroad I have 4 ½ months of summer (May 4-September 20)
9. My birthday is in 26 days
10. Twila is coming home in about one month
11. My hair is growing out so I can finally have long hair again
12. White Stripes are coming out with a sixth album, Icky Thump
13. The 7th and Last installment of Harry Potter comes out over summer (this is actually sort of sad too though)
14. My brother is getting married this summer and I get to be a bridesmaid!!
15. Only 4 more weeks of school :) :) :)

So, I’m not as stressed or sad about how studious I have to be these next few weeks if I just read over this list and think of how great everything really is!
