A to the CCs

Hellooo from Clemson. We just got back from an amazing practice on the course, and I’m currently killing time in my hotel room with Em. I'm so excited to race tomorrow! Actually, I’m just excited about life in general right now.

This past week was the week from hell. I don’t think I slept more than 3 hours a single night all week. It was like sophomore year all over again. When I got on the bus last night I was seriously on the brink of a nervous breakdown or something, but I passed out for a couple hours and was feeling infinitely better afterwards. Then as we were rolling through Charlotte, I got a call from my top choice internship saying that I’ve been ACCEPTED! Yay! I haven’t completely decided yet, but I’d say there’s a very good chance that I’ll be a resident of Los Angeles, California next year. No more freezing cold North Carolina winters for me. Woohoo. I am such a Texan. Anyway, it’s good to know that I won’t be moving into that cardboard box Mary and I have been talking about for at least another year now.

I still haven’t told my parents. I feel kind of guilty about it. I called Andie and a bunch of my friends immediately, but I have a feeling my parents might find this news more disappointing than exciting, and I don’t think I feel like dealing with that at the moment. So they can wait till Sunday.

Sooo, what else? Next week is the last week of classes. How depressing. I’ve definitely been in denial about the whole graduation thing all semester, but it’s finally starting to hit me that it really is ending and fast. Senior week was last week. I didn’t get to go to a single event because I was stuck in engineering hell all week and didn’t have time to eat or sleep, much less go out. I did get a very interesting IM from Carolyn after the pub crawl last night, though. Hehe.

It’s so weird to imagine leaving Duke forever. Duke is my whole life. I’m not even sure that I’ve managed to fully get my mind around the concept yet. Ahhh, I don’t want to think about it.

Anyway, I’m off to shower and nap for a while before we head back to the course to watch the 2V4+ and the coxswain race. I’m still debating about whether I should cox for the wee ones this afternoon. I’ve had coxswain envy for almost as long as I’ve been a rower, but I really think I would crash into something/one, and that would be bad. So we will see. Okaaay, showa time. Peace.
