2011. A year I defiantly won’t forget.
I turned 21. Spent a week in California. Got my first speeding ticket. Went to court for the first time. Twitter changed my life. Learned what friendship really is. Drove from Florida to Kentucky alone. Spent all of my savings. Figured out my career path. Lived at the beach for the summer. Had many first time experiences. Didn’t care what people thought of me. Changed clothes in my car more times than I can count. Ate at Panera more than I should have. Two incredible internships. Finished 3.5 years of college. Broke my bed. Backed into a fence. People disappointed me. Backed into a sign at a shopping center. My dog died. Got lost in the bad part of town. Made a lot of mistakes. Christmas at the beach. Had an allergic reaction to shaving cream. Lost my cell phone. Found my cell phone. Slept on a porch. Ran. Balanced a budget. Made grownup decisions Liked what I saw in the mirror. Running tights changed my life. People surprised me. 2011.

Sometimes I'm like really? Other times I'm like really, really?
Sometimes I wonder why anyone in their right mind would ever leave me alone. Examples of why I believe this:
-Monday:
a) I get in my car, which I might add was locked, and start freaking out because I think I had lost my keys. Turns out I had already started my car, funny things is I got out of my car thinking the whole time crap I really like that song on the radio to search for my keys in the driveway. Fail.
b) I make my daily trip to the gas station, or maybe it just seems like it. I was pumping gas like it was my job, when I was finished I got gas all over my hand and my shoes which made the inside of my car smell delightful for the entire rest of the day. Fail.
-Tuesday:
a) Set my alarm for 10pm, I needed to be at school at 11am. Needless to say said class was skipped. Fail.
-Wednesday:
a) When getting out of my car I took of my ‘sunglasses’ like normal and began to walk to the library. I got half way there and began to think to myself I can’t see anything. Turns out I had been wearing normal glasses; I was walking like I was intoxicated or just plain stupid. Fail.
-Thursday:
a) Back to the gas station to give my life savings to BP, pumping Gas like normal thinking the whole time I’m not going to get this on my shoes again. I finished pumping. All of the gas I had purchased had successfully made it inside the tank, right? Wrong. I get in my car and pick up my breakfast bar, somehow I managed to get gas on my fingers which got on the breakfast bar which I put into my mouth. I almost threw up in my mouth; the only thing I could find in my car to spit it into was a church offering envelope. I look up and the man at the opposite pump is watching me. Fail.
-Friday:
a) Having a lovely conversation with my grandmother on the phone. ‘Grandma I have to call you back I think I left my cell phone on the top of my car.’ She says ‘Clay you called me from your cell phone!” All along I know she is thinking and he is the smart grandchild! Fail.
b) After being in Wal-Mart for less than 20mintues I return to the parking lot to find out that my car had been stolen. Ok maybe not, but it wasn’t where I thought I had parked. The one time in my life I need to panic button to work it didn’t, I spent the next 5minutes searching for my car. Fail.
c) I dreamed that my best friend had me arrested at her wedding for sitting down. Fail.
On the bright-side it has been perfect weather for running. Winter term is almost over. Spring break is soon. Camp is getting super close. I’m almost a senior in college. I learned I like beets. Going my track time assignments from Fuge, and I love them both. I’m dog sitting this weekend. I got to wear wool socks every day this week. Success.

my life be like.
I feel like it has been forever since I have done this, oh wait… Life has been crazy recently! I’m training for a mini-marathon, I went to California, My church started a second worship service, I lead worship at church, I fell while dancing at the Hollywood sign, had a conversation with someone that didn’t speak any English, realized that Fuge friends are amazing, got a Blackberry, saw Chelsea Handler and J-Lo all in one week, went to some crazy places, made a cool new west coast friend, danced like Oprah, failed a Latin test, ran ten miles all at once, introduced to the buddy system, got lost on the metro, listened to a song about a safe, got addicted to Special K, had two interesting phone calls both on the same day, realized that camp is coming sooooooon, went to a play about suicide, didn’t spend enough time in the library, got new boat shoes, realized that my favorite boxers are missing in action, learned a lot about myself from a complete stranger, didn’t clean my room, ate a ton of strawberry’s and my throat didn’t swell shut guess I’m not allergic anymore….I guess 2011 isn’t so bad after all.
