I have totally neglected my blog, I’m sorry. However, if you’ve been following my Twitter, you’ll know I constantly blow that up, so I have no real valid excuse.

Things have been busy. I loved my trip up north for three weeks and it was packed with adventures (Boston; N.Y.C.; Rockport, Mass.; Keene, N.H.; losing two dogs… again…) so I’m glad to be back in North Carolina to slow things down by reading for law school and preparing for homecoming in the next few weeks. I received my orientation packet, so my anxieties have kicked into high-gear, but I’m just as excited to start school in two months.

As for homecoming, our FRG has been working feverishly to prepare by organizing baskets for single soldiers. In the next week, we’ll be covering beds, hanging shower curtains and stocking fridges of 30+ rooms in the barracks so the single soldiers who don’t have a home to return to can relax for the first few days after returning from Iraq. We also completed our big fundraiser for homecoming t-shirts, so as treasurer, I’ve been constantly making trips to the bank on post making deposits and we’re in great shape to ensure a successful homecoming celebration.

Back here, I’ve begun a deep clean of the apartment, which basically consists of Pine-Sol-ing everything and throwing out a bunch of clutter that’s been stacked for 15 months. It’s a bit of a weight off my shoulders to finally stop procrastinating and getting everything into great shape. This weekend I’m heading to N.Y.C., N.H. and Boston, so I’m looking to get as much done in the next few days as I possibly can. And Kennedy will definitely not make the trip this time after breaking through my parents’ screen porch and running around New Hampshire for a few hours last time. We’ve got to lock her up. I’m all for a sense of adventure, but not at the sake of my well-being.

I can’t believe I’m driving 14 hours straight again… so soon. Thankfully, I’ve stocked up my iPod.
