Success!

If you checked my blog at any point between last Monday and May, you may have realized that I haven't done any blogging at all. Period. Nothing. And I am sorry.

You see, I found this funny correlation. The more cool things I have going on in the "real world", the less inclined I am to actually get on here and blog about it.

Do not think that means that my life stinks because I am on here blogging tonight. In fact, quite the opposite. The fact here is that even my plodding, ponderous mind turns to composition of words and....uh....things every once in a while :)

That is why I am here blogging late on a Wednesday night, after a most excellent day filled with my fiance, Chick-Fil-A, and productive studying habits.

O yes. I believe that since I have not technically announced that on this blog (see last post in May), I should say it officially. I am engaged :) my fiance is absolutely the best, and we will be married next May ( and I will probably be due for another blog post about that time too).

Here is a picture of us on top of the mountain where I proposed.

I have more news to share. Because I am a science major, I like outlines.

1- I successfully completed the Branson Ironman 70.3 last Sunday. I expect a full race report with pictures to be up by Christmas break. Suffice it to say that it was the most grueling, enjoyable, exhilarating experience of my life. Seriously. Last 9 months of training=totally worth it.

PS-That is why that picture is way up at the top.

2-I have new classes this semester. They go like this.

History(Honors)

Writing for the Professions

Anatomy w/ Lab

Organic Chemistry w/ Lab

EMT-B Training.

Located above is as many books as would reasonably fit on my iPhone camera.

3- The above may explain a lower frequency of posts this semester. That, plus the fact that my brain is almost as lazy as I am and can't stand any creative more than once a month :)

Seriously, though. While I love blogging, I just can't stand the massive time commitment (I am going on 8 minutes since starting this post), I can't take the stress of the writing process (spell checking? Are you kidding me?), and I suffer from anxiety when I think that other people are able to read my thoughts on the internet.

4- Lastly, I am increasingly distracted every day. That's not to say that I can't focus on anything, just that I m-

So this is where I do some self promoting for my own blog and myself.

-I am planning (read that: helping my fiance plan) a wedding this year. I am actually planning a honeymoon to follow shortly after that wedding, and therefore want to solicit advice from all of you other web-savvy readers out there. First, please recover from shock at seeing my blog re-appear on your RSS feed, Google Reader, or whatever. Then, kindly let me know about good travel websites, travel deals, low airfares, etc.

-I need to read through my old posts and the comments you all have made. Sadly, I must approve each and every comment before it goes to the blog. This is why I had countless comments to pre-read, censor, approve, and label appropriate and such. Because I didn't want to actually do all of that work-related material, I deleted all of them. Hahahahahahahahahahaha!!!!

I have now disabled the "approval needed" function of my blog. Comment at your will.

I also added little buttons at the top. I am not sure what they do, but please push them, find out, and let me know.

Adios
