So They Say It's Your Birthday

Tuesday, March 16, 2010


So, I was seeing SO many of you having blogoversaries over the past month and I thought I'd look and see when mine was. Boy was I in for a surprise!!

I MISSED MINE!

Well, I missed it by about 5 days. Still, I missed it. I'm such a bad blog-mother.

When I started this blog I just wanted a place to bitch rant about life, whine about small things that no one else would listen to, and basically just a secondary public-ish journal. I wrote when I felt like it and didn't feel bad for not posting more than once a month. Heck, I had life going on and things to do. Plus, no one was reading it, so I only let myself down by not posting. I was on my hunt for post-bacc programs for med school, believed I would be at my job for another year until I was accepted into said post-bacc, and volunteering at the UNC Hospitals.

Life was good. Life was fun. Life was easy.

Life was in for a big change.

I got accepted into grad school. In. Budapest. I moved out of my lovely home of the past six year and crammed all of my worldly belongings into a UHaul and then back into my parent's house. And then I crossed that giant pond. I originally started this blog so that all my friends and family could gorge themselves on my adventures and be super jealous of live vicariously through me. I didn't know then that I'd have 40+ followers, let alone be sharing a trip/grad school adventure in Budapest with all of you! I I'm so glad I am though! You guys are the best. Seriously, your comments make me so happy!

So in honor of my belated birthday I'm going to host a little giveaway. Just cause you guys are so awesome. Give me a few days to find something suitable and I'll have another post about it. It's going to be mailed out when I get back to the States, so I've got a little bit of time (eep! 18 days until going home! eep! sooo much work to do.....!)
