What Isn't New?

Hi! Remember me?

I'm back and wow, has a lot happened!

Summer is over, all of my friends have dispersed (as is the case when August rolls around), and I am all moved into my new apartment in Boone! 

Bye, bye Brevard, I did enjoy our last 7 months together.  Thanks for getting me back on my feet and reuniting me with some of the best friends a girl can have!

There are far too many updates to cover but, in my absence life has definitely changed.

-I finished finance (the bane of my existence this summer)

-Worked a million hours a week

-Stayed up way past my bed time, way too much

-Reconnected with my lovely hometown and made many new friends

-Found an ideal apartment within walking distance to EVERYTHING

-Was chosen for an assistanship

-Started the MBA program (and maybe even fell in love with it)

I am still getting settled into this new life as a grad student.  Half of the time I can't believe that I actually decided to go through with this and the other half of the time I am kind of lonely after being surrounded by so many people I love all summer.  But, so far, so good.  I am having a huge problem with time management and establishing a schedule so that I can fit in exercise, work, homework, and some semblance of a social life (thus far, I have failed at channeling my highly motivated friend Julia).  If you have any advice about waking up in the morning and setting a routine I would love to hear about it!!!
