In the last two weeks...

...I had an allergic reaction (food poisoning?)/got some kind of phlegm-y, coughing gross sickness in the same night that's stuck around for two weeks.
...there was one day when I had four papers and an assignment due and a presentation to give.
...I found out my dog had a tumor and he wasn't going to make it.
...I went home to be with him for the last two days of his life.
...I had to put my dog to sleep.
...I had 24 hours to study for each of my two final exams followed by 24 hours to write two final papers.
...I graduated from college. I'll say that again.......... I'm a college graduate.
...I moved all of my stuff out of my apartment, said good-bye indefinitely to many of the friends I've made in the last four years, and drove home from Ohio for the last time.
...I basically planned the entire month-long trip to Europe I'm embarking on in less than 48 hours. 

It's been a lot, I'm a little bit run down right now. I'll be back, just give me a month in Europe to find my feet and heal my heart.


 (I cannot take credit for any of the graduation weekend pictures.)

"In a hole in the ground there lived a hobbit. Not a nasty, dirty, wet hole, filled with the ends of worms and an oozy smell, nor yet a dry, bare, sandy hole with nothing in it to sit down on or to eat: it was a hobbit-hole, and that means comfort." -JRR Tolkien
