EUROPE TOMORROW EUROPE TOMORROW EUROPE TOMORROW!!!!
School is finally, officially, superly, OVER for the year. Even though I finished my finals last week, we had these huge presentations as part of an annual competition on Wednesday, and even though my team knocked it out of the park we were sadly not asked to be in the next day's final round. But we WERE part of the top 6 teams that were in contention for the top 3 finalists, so I'm cool with that. MY TEAM IS AWESOMEEEEEE.
Anyhoo. Since then there has been a considerable amount of drankin. And packing. And HOLY CRAP I WILL BE IN ST. PETERSBURG IN TWO DAYSSSSSS.
And um..that's it. Oh, does anyone want to guest blog? I forgot to ask about that earlier, probably because I've been too busy filling my stomach with delicious and citrusy Sam Summer. Do I have any readers, even?
I doubt I'll post tomorrow because all I will be doing between now and my flight tomorrow evening is packing, drinking, running errands and watching episodes of Taking the Stage on mtv.com. Does anyone watch this show? I love it. Team Mia all the way! Peace out, kiddies.
Coming even further out of the nerd closet

Nerdy stuff
I'm a huge nerd. And sometimes I even amaze myself with how nerdy I am.
I was going through my Google reader when I saw a blurb under CNN International that read, "A U.S. government panel listed 13 countries Friday as "egregious" violators of religious freedom."
And you know what I did? I thought to myself, "OOOH FUN! I'm going to see how many of them I can name correctly!" So I got out a pen and paper and wrote down 13 candidates, then clicked on the link to compare them to the master list.
I got to 7 pretty easily, then struggled a bit to think of 6 other viable options. 6 of my first 7 were right, plus 1 from my other 6. I was going for half so I reached my goal. And I had way too much fun doing this.
For anyone else interested, the link is here: Probably Not Supposed To Be A Game But I Don't Care.

Awesome Europe trip
I posted this picture on my old blog, but seeing as my old blog is..well..old, I'm going to post it again here.
This is my sexy face planted all over a map of Europe. Because in exactly ONE MOTHERF'IN WEEK I will be going to these places.
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Specifically, I will be going to Russia (St. Petersburg), Finland (Helsinki), Sweden (Stockholm) and Denmark (Copenhagen).
ONE. MORE. WEEK.
The trip is part of a class, so I'm going with 19 other students and 2 professors. All of whom are fantastic. And we will be doing some company visits and other business-y things while we're there. But we will ALSO have tons of free time to explore, sightsee, and get drunk on foreign booze.
HOLY CRAP I CANNOT WAIT.
