The Drive Back

Today is Memorial Day and I was lucky enough to have been given the day off. I am interning at Athens Regional right now and RD I'm working with was on call. She was nice enough to let me have today off. So, since I had today off, I went to Pelham for the weekend. I always like going home. It's nice to have someone else cook and wash clothes. (Yes, I'm spoiled, but mama likes doing it.) However, the drive to and from Athens gets to be kinda long. It usually takes me 4.5 hours. I know some people can drive it in less, but it take me that long. It gives me time to think, I guess.

Today my thoughts were consumed with thesis stuff and graduation. How in the world will I ever get it all done? If I spend too much time thinking about it I get sick to my stomach. I've tried everything. The only thing that works is not thinking about it. However, if I do that for too long, nothing will get done!! As much as I would love to finish in August, if I have to stay an additional semester will not be that bad. After all, the UGA home football schedule is AWESOME!!

Some think that this years football team will be the best since 1980 when UGA won the National Championship. I think it is highly possible. I am all Georgia, don't get me wrong, I just don't want to count the chicken before they hatch. I am all UGA with a little Georgia Southern thrown in for fun. I mean I did get my BS from there. I was raised UGA and will die UGA. There is no other place I'd rather be on a Saturday afternoon in the fall than between the hedges watching my Dawgs play. Words can't explain feeling. Plus, the players look pretty cute in there "silver-britches!!"

Getting back to graduation, I guess what I am trying to say is if I have to stay an extra semester, it will not be the end of the world.
