TWO Years

Jesus Christ.  It's been two years (almost to the day) since I've updated this blog.  I assume the dates are so close because two years ago in June I started summer break after the first semester of my junior year and I had spare time on my hands to do things like updating an old, neglected blog.  I probably didn't do it last summer because I was already worrying about my thesis and couldn't justify wasting my time on such a fruitless endeavor.

So, obviously I have time on my hands again. (Great segue, Laura.)  And why might that be???  Because I've graduated from MICA!!!  It took me nine years but I graduated from college with a Bachelor's of Fine Art and now I don't feel quite as unsatisfied with my life. 

Here's the thing.  I started at McDonogh (a private school in Maryland) in the 5th grade.  Because I had a hard time fitting in at my new school (many of the kids there already knew each other for four years and, let's face it, I'm a bit of an odd duck) I stayed close with the friends I made pre-McDonogh.  Eventually, although probably not until later in High School, I built relationships with my peers at McDonogh but while still maintaining my friendships outside of school.  Meaning, half of my friends were middle to upper-class and half of my friends were middle to lower-class .  Which basically resulted on Facebook with this phenomenon: half of my friends are getting married and having children and half my friends are graduating from ivy league schools.  Some have even managed to do both.

Ergo, I think my feelings of dissatisfaction are merited.

Now is the part where I say that I still don't know what this blog is for but that I hope that I can start updating it more frequently.

So I'll see you in another two years, then?
