The long awaited post arrives. I have finally completed my last final of the semester. *long sigh of relief!* What a tumultuous and eventful year it has been, I found a blog post from this time last year (June 6th, 2007 to be exact.) that amused me greatly.

One Year Ago:

Alright, well the biggest news first! We found out the gender of Bledsoe #6 today!
IT'S A GIRL! October will welcome Molly Emmanuelle Bledsoe, my fifth younger sibling. :)

In other news, the official moving date is the 26th for me. But since I'll have the kids that whole previous weekend, I should probably say most of my goodbyes around the 22nd. So if you wanna hang out, I'm totally flexible and free for the next two weeks! :)

Also, Trillville is active again - GO JOIN! We totally need a ton of members. And hey, we'll have t-shirts soon! :) Not much else to say right now - if I think of something else, I'll edit or something.

EDIT: Oh yeah, and I really am signing up for kickboxing class, and a girls volleyball team... :$ Go figure. I've never even played volleyball before, so it should be interesting!

Annnd, I got 2 commissions for after the move, at $20 an hour! I'm so flipping excited. I knew web design would be useful someday. :P

Anyway, I also can't wait to get my iPhone.

Well...obviously a lot has changed since then. Kickboxing and Volleyball never happened. Molly is a beautiful, happy, healthy baby who brings joy to our lives every single day. We are living in Virginia, and moving (once again)...only 30 minutes away this time. Trillville died out for the second and last time in August of '07 when my server crashed, and the majority of the information was lost. The commissions both fell through because of the chaos of the move...and the money for my iPhone ended up going towards my macbook when my old desktop went kaput. (Not something I regret, I love my macbook. But, I do miss City of Heroes and EF2. :P )

At the beginning of last school year, I was terrified about my World Lit class. I can now say, after a weekend spend furiously reading all of the passages and novels that I procrastinated on throughout the past semester...I survived. Moreover, I learned something. (Go figure.) Beyond reading some of the best literature of my life, I grew in taking criticism, overcoming total and complete lack of motivation...and am still working on pushing through tough and monotonous crap that I don't particularly want to do.

While I am technically "finished" with the semester, I intend to complete the essays I missed (for various reasons and excuses) in the next few weeks; At the beginning of the school year I set out to conquer this course, and credit or not...I want to know, for myself, that I can and have done so.

It was overall, a very good school year though. Despite some difficult patches, I have no complaints. Last fall/winter was probably one of the most amazing seasons of my life and I feel like I've changed significantly from who I was last year. Oh, and...I must say I am already missint our Monday afternoon "Therapy Sessions" as we began to call them. My World Civilizations class, was absolutely amazing. I cannot rave more about Mr. Futoran, he was the most incredible instructor I could have asked for...and our class was just amazing too. There were so few of us, that we became really comfortable and class really was more like a bunch of friends chatting and being sarcastic, and joking around than a formal "lecture" class. So, if you ever happen to read this...Thank you, Mr. Futoran! For a spectacular class!

Despite it being 1:30 AM I am already feeling refreshed and renewed. (Could that have something to do with this coke I'm drinking? Surely not.)

Just as this time last year, I am full of plans, hopes, and aspirations for the summer and beyond.

We drove by the new house yesterday and (finally) got a couple of pictures of the outside. I cannot believe it's only 10 days until we start moving. The past month has flown by in some ways, and yet in others the days seem to have dragged along.

Regardless, I can't say I'm sorry to be right here, right now.

Gosh...now I'm irritated, I had so very many deep and profound thoughts floating around my head to share, and they've all escaped me now. Probably due to lateness. I suppose I'll think of them and go back to my random and frequent posting tomorrow.

I'm off to bed, gleeful.
More tomorrow!
