I just received an e-mail that Boulder is letting me defer until Fall of 2012!!! I cannot begin to describe how excited I am. I feel like a little kid. I really never expected things to work out like they did. I am giddy with all of the thoughts of adventure, new people, new places, and the unknown. I have that feeling you get when you are about to get on a really scary roller coaster. You know it is going to be fun but you are not really sure what to expect. My stomach is dropping but in a good way. I have no idea what to expect from Backroads or even where I will be, but I know it will be one of the best experiences of my life. Same goes for Boulder, but I know more of what to expect there. :)
It also seems weird to think that I will not be in Austin for the next three years. I have been here my whole life (with the exception of college). I'm definitely going to miss this place and all my friends here. I want to do so many things before I leave so I made a list of things I want to do before I go...
Swim at Barton Springs
East side Sunday bike ride with my dad
See Bob Schneider play at Saxon
Drinks in the parking lot of the Draughthouse
Snow cone at Snow Beach
Run at Town Lake
Hike at the greenbelt with Ashley
Hike up to Mount Bonnell at sunset
Walk around South Congress and have a a drink at San Jose Motel
I have 27 days to do 9 things. No excuses.

So far, so good.
My mom just sent me this quote. Usually when I get quotes like these I think, "blah blah blah". Live dance love, ok ok ok. I get it, lighten up. But this one is perfect for where I am these days. Lots of choices, decisions, and what ifs milling through my head. But I did it. I am choosing to take a risk to do what I love. And if I die tomorrow, I will have no regrets. I will continue to learn, I will most definitely play with abandon, and I always laugh. So I think I am doing it right. So far, so good.
