Hmm.. So I don't really know what I'm doing....

So.. first blog post...and some fair warnings about my subsequent posts:

1.)) I tend to type the way I think in my head / how I speak.
->The  more caffeine I have the less commas, the less sleep I have the more commas..etc...

2.) I'm a student at Rhodes College in Memphis, TN and I'm quite honestly doing this blog for a scholarship/fellowship requirement, but I have no clue what I'm doing or what I'm suppose to be doing... so please cut me some slack...haha.... sooo yeahhhh...

Its funny how things always work out. Two days ago I was just thinking about how this break was quite possibly the worse one yet, with my dog being lost for over a week, a broken laptop, no heat or electricity with the death of 50% of my reef tank and lost cellphone during an intense blizzard, both dentist & physical checkups (both of which required needles, which I have an INTENSE phobia of), and of course my dreaded wisdom teeth extraction.....but hey, its the last weekend, and I found my dog and cell phone (and I have a new one at that too, thanks to my brother...), my laptop is fixed and upgraded, witnessed Boston's tenth largest blizzard, I had an opportunity to redo my tank, I get fun? vicodin,  and I now get to start yet another adventure ( with another scholarship!).

So yeah  I guess I am quite lucky! I do have it pretty good, and I plan on trying to keep positive for the future. In the words of a crazy kid from the jersey shores, the sun always rises, so it's all good..haha..  And tomorrow I will embark on yet another journey. This time it will be a rather epic one, in which I will  literally sail upon the open pacific ocean. I'm supposed to be "blogging" to keep track of what I'm doing, and yet again its the night before I leave and I've yet to even start packing.... (and this time i don't have caffeine...) I've had a pretty awesome break so far, but I am more than ready to leave.

I really have no clue what the point of this post was, but I leave for Woods Hole, MA tomorrow.... I'm incredibly excited, I have yet to start packing, and I've got a lot to do, but I will try to blog atleast every other day.... I'll try to keep it not so cheesy.... but no guarantees.......

Let the adventures begin!

Here's some pics of the ship I will be sailing on later on, from: http://www.sea.edu/shipscrew/seamans.aspx
