In exactly seven weeks I will be leaving for Paris, France. I'll be flying to there to see one of my dearest friends, S. It wasn't necessarily a spur of the moment decision. I had been wanting to go over ever since she left back in May, but I finally decided why the hell not. I bought a ticket and will be flying out December 15th. It's a graduation present to myself. It will however further my accumulation of debt, but when will I ever get a chance to go to a foreign country for an entire week and experience it with an amazing friend? So far the only thing written in stone is my departure of the 15th, my return on the 23rd, and staying in Suz's grandfather's apartment in Paris. I still can't believe that I, LC decided all in one day to buy a ticket and go. Of course I still need to go and get my passport which I will do this coming week. I'm ridiculously excited to spend a week in a beautiful city with S. Don't worry, there will be tons of pictures capturing our 'Suzaura Adventures'!
In other news, seven weeks also symbolizes the pivotal date of graduation. I'm still working me ass off for good grades but not getting any in return. I am almost tempted to say screw it and aim for passing grades, but that isn't who I am. Graduation is close yet so unbelievable far away.
I went back home this weekend for the day to see my nephews. I love spending time with them, they are pretty amazing. At the same time I also came to realize how negative my mother can be. Back in high school we always fought, mostly because were so alike, but now I am in a different place in my life. I defiantly have a better outlook on life. Especially now, I am about to graduation, go to Paris, and then start a new job in a new city. I know it partly has to do with how she was raised and hardly received praise from her parents, but dammit for once I know I deserve some and I just wish she could at least show some excitement for me. Even with her own life it seems she can't be excited either. My parent are closing on a brand new house on Thursday, their first brand new house after 32 years of marriage and she didn't seem the least bit excited when she was talking about it. Weird...
But I guess I can never be satisfied with anything because before it was my father. I worked my ass off in school in order to please him. This past year with everything going on he told me he was proud of me. It was one of the better moments in my life to know my father was proud of his daughter and realize all of the hard work I've thrown myself into.
I am still thoroughly enjoying the single life. It has been more than a year since I've been in a relationship. This year has given me insight into what I really want in a guy, mostly generic qualities. I also know how I should and shouldn't act in a relationship and when to get out of one. At the same time, I am honestly 100% secure with being single right now, okay maybe 99% because there will always be those late nights where you wish you were sharing the covers with someone.
There is a so much ahead of me and I think the party is just beginning!

Chapter 6 - Change
This past month has flown by and I have no idea where it went. There is an incredible amount of chaos going on around me and I am starting to wonder if I even have a grasp on reality.
Ring day was two weeks ago, it was definitely one of the best days I have experienced at A&M. My parents came into town and were there to experience the day with me. The whole week preceding the event I couldn't focus on anything except getting my ring! I couldn't have asked for better people to get it with either, my parents, Tiffany and Justin. The hard work and dedication was well worth it. Nothing can compare to the feeling of sliding the Aggie Ring on. Afterward we celebrated in style and drank a beer at the Chicken, WH09P!
Last weekend was mine and Tiffany's ring dunk as well as my birthday party. Starting around 9:30 people started showing up. Sugar Pants came pulled a bottle of champagne out of his backpack and handed it to me. It was from Suz, directly from Paris with her handwriting decorating it. I started crying, a good cry. I miss her so much and I wish she could have been there but it also meant so much to me and reminded me of all the good times we have had together. It made me smile and still does just thinking about it.
For the ring dunk....It went well, we both drank all of our beer and proceeded to puke it right back up. But hey, we sucked it up and suffered through it together! I never would have thought I would dunk my ring with Tiffany of all people, either. She has always been there for me and we have had our times of fading in and out of each others lives. But dunking it with her just felt so right and is something we will never forget.
My birthday weekend went okay, nothing too special. It made me realize although I am graduating a semester early, I am so ready to move on with the next step of my life. Noel came into town to see me dunk and I realized I missed Dallas. But don't think at the same time I am not scared, because hell I am scared shitless. Moving on with another chapter of my life is scary especially when we are talking about setting the foundation for the rest of my life.
Next month I am going to Dallas for a weekend to look for a place to live and to talk to a financial advisor, can you believe it, me talking all grown up? Kind of surreal.
Also another change going on in my life is the fact my parents are moving out of the house I grew up it. It is so weird, because I never thought the day would come. But I am so happy for them, they deserve it and have given up so much to wait this long. The house is gorgeous, brand new, is on three acres and is located twelve miles outside of Willis in the country. It's really exciting. Plus since my dad got a new job in downtown Houston, it will make it easier for him to commute.
So much is going on in my life and well your just going to have to stay tuned to see if I make it out alive.
