Play with me!!
 People... my darling, my dearest Daisies.

This silence has been for too long! I don't care that we all facebook/twitter/flickr/skype or whatever. I want a real, old fashioned, Daisy Gang blog post.

I propose two games:

1. Required: A full update on what you have been up to, as well as what you see yourself doing for the next 12 months, please.

2. Optional: Answer the following: what is the one question you have always wanted answered, but for whatever reason, have never received an answer to? Be as vague, ambiguous, or specific as your little hearts desire.

okay then...

1. I'm graduating FROM COLLEGE in 6 weeks, and I can't decide how I really feel about that because the time is going way too fast for me to latch on to one feeling or another about it. I'm trying to remember if I felt anything remotely the same at the end of high school, and I can't quite say a definite yes or no. Either way I have to say I'm definitely relieved to be close to being done with all the classes and extracurriculars which I have come to rely upon to fill my days and give me a sense of purpose. I'm trying to keep a healthy dose of senioritis about me, not worrying myself too much with schoolwork, because the good conversations I've been having with friends, among other things, and the realization that the routines of seeing certain people at certain times are actually kind of going to be gone quite soon, are making me want to cry!

Last Friday I found out that I was accepted into a program to teach English to middle school/high school kids in Chile. It's a six-month program, so I'd be leaving in July and back in time for various December holidays. I'm excited, because this is something I've been thinking and imagining steadily, if in the background, for nearly a year now. I have to admit at this point, though, that there are only a couple of things that scare me (or have scared me) more. I know I just have to get used to the idea being a reality and not worry too much about it all, but I do have some thinking to be doing in the next few days (they're only giving me a week to decide! egads!) Big girl decisions! Bahhh!

After that, I'll... do something else as yet undefined, all the while applying for grad school in either education or English (darn you poetry professor and your encouragement towards higher levels of education which I previously thought excessive and useless to me!) So in essence, I'm taking this year off... or as I've also heard it put, "taking this year ON!"

2. What on earth was supposed to be in that letter she said she was going to send later, but never did? The thought of what could have been still haunts me.

YOUR TURN!
