YATTA!!!!!!

"I DID IT!!!!!!"

Well folks, its official .... I have graduated from college!!!! I now have a B.A. in Anthropology from the College of Sciences at UCF ^_^. While, I loved learning everything, I'm glad that it is over and my brain gets to rest (except for the whole learning to speak Mongolian thing).

The ceremony was long and boring (I totally fell asleep at one point), but it was really nice to get to see my Grandparents, Aunt, and Cousins afterwards.

My room is packed, I have begun saying my final goodbyes to all my Florida friends, I'm checking out of my apartment ...... my college career is drawing to an end and will soon be all behind me ^_^.

But that means :::scary music::: .... only 30 days until I leave for Mongolia :::gulp::: ... O_o

I am sooooo excited, yet as the departure date draws nearer I'm becoming more and more nervous ... there is so much I need to do in a relatively short time ... but I know I will get it all done in time, and before I know it I will be in Mongolia ^_^

Also, I have been reading this great book called: Genghis Khan and the Making of the Modern World. It is really interesting to not only learn about this "blood thirsty savage" from a non-western perspective, but also to utilize my anthropology skills in discerning various possible cultural sentiments as derived from the knowledge that Genghis Khan is the national hero in Mongolia (man alive, I'm such a nerd). If you enjoy reading I highly recommend this book ^_^.
