brian fellow's safari planet

a few LA summers ago my friend erin introduced me to Brian Fellow's Safari Planet... we spent all summer quoting it.

anyway... this weekend Tracy Morgan hosted SNL and he reprised the Brian Fellow character. Oh. em. geeee.

here is one of the old skits:
Saturday Night Live - Brian Fellow's Safari Planet



and the new one!
Saturday Night Live - Safari Planet

i thought i left this back in OH.

t-4 until OH. t-5 until cbus.

i wish i had a time machine.

couldn't have said it better myself...

new blog

so over the summer i found all of these blogs i read on a usual basis... but since beginning grad school i hadn't found anything really interesting that could keep me involved... until THIS. it's a blog about a man from minneapolis that lives in LA. he moved there with his h.s. sweetheart, built a life, got married and she got pregnant a few years later. last march, she was put on bedrest and then finally gave birth to the baby prematurely. baby was great and the next day the mom got up to go see the baby for the first time and ended up collapsing. pulminary embolism. died that day. so here this man is... raising an infant while also grieving for his wife. sad? obviously. but he's really funny and artistic too. and has a good outlook. and the story is uplifting. if you get a chance... read a little bit of it. he writes like james frey writes in a million little pieces.

lots going on

it's funny to me that grad school is a constant roller coaster. with work, emotions, etc. one minute i'm beginning to see the light at the end of the tunnel and other times i feel so overwhelmed. oh well... such is life.

so a few things going on right now...
1. i interviewed with BYU yesterday. it went really really well. i'm hoping that the opportunity for me to work with them is granted to me. the position is a pretty general SA position, but that's great because it gives me the opportunity to work in various functional areas. love that.

2. my first professional conference begins tonight! GCPA (georgia college personnel association) is having its 40th conference right here in Athens, GA. tonight there is a gala. it will be good to get dressed up, spend some time with my professors and classmates outside of the classroom, and get that great perspective that comes with being around people who all have a common purpose.

3. i'm thinking about incorporating video into my blog... not sure how to do this yet but once i do i think it would be fun to allow you guys to see things about athens. i usually do a poor job describing things.

visitors

So I've been thinking lately... a lot of my favorite people have been showing up here in Athens, GA for a variety of reasons... but one of them has just been to visit me!  How awesome is that?  I have the best family and friends.  Here are pics of my visitors so far this year...

Mark and Abby! Mark was interviewing for the CSAA program (of which I am a part of) and Abby came along for the ride. We had a ton of fun while they were here... minus the day I had the stomach flu and Abby had to take care of both Mark and I!


And my wonderful Aunt Kaye and Uncle Steve. They were a sight for sore eyes after a particularly rough week. They make me feel so special when I see them. I can only hope that one day Seth and I will be as good to each other's kids as they have been to us!


Maggie came too! She interviewed for the CSAA program as well but we forgot to take a pic. Boo.

More to come tomorrow but right now I NEED to sleep.

xoxo.
