So Damn Lucky

As I am about to dive into my May course all I can think about is what I need to do and when (this is not conducive to my grades). My solution is this handy-dandy blog, this post will now be my To-Do/Bucket List Tracker (TDBLT)...oh yeah PC style! That's something I probably should add to the side, acronyms, since half the time it confuses me.

My head in the clouds

I am the Proudest Monkey!

*drumroll* Now ladies and gentlemen, the country that I have been invited to is Azerbaijan! I received the package yesterday. I will post more when I start feeling better. Sadly, I haven't been able to look through everything. I just returned from Florida where I attended my grandfather's funeral and on the drive back my sinus issues turned into a full-fledged painful head cold. For the next 3 days I will be cramming for my finals then starting my new course for May. No rest for the wicked. HAHA!

"Then comes the day

Staring at myself I turn to question me

I wonder do I want the simple,

simple life that I once lived in well

Oh things were quiet then

In a way they were the better days

But now I am the PROUDEST MONKEY!"

Hello from Donna Marie's mom

Watching this whole process has been amazing. The family's feelings range from excitement and pride to downright worry.
I have been told this is normal and when we get to the other side we will laugh about our sillinesses and be much more savvy.
We will seeee... :-)
