In about a month I'll be going up to Clemson to visit their campus n' while there, looking forward to visiting with  LeviWolstrom We'll then be going cross the state to celebrate  Folfswimmer's B-day. Definitely looking forward to seeing him n' his awesome wife Steph again. Party could double as a celebration party for her landing a new job. Not even a month later, I'll be flying out to Oregon to tour the Oregon St. campus in Corvallis. While there, I'll be, pun intended, crashing with  crashheart n' his roomie  rengare These trips I'm looking forward to n' am very excited about yet I'm also a little apprehensive. I just worry bout the first impression I make on the friends of these guys, especially Crash's friends. I feel kinda a pressure to try n' break the misconception that these Oregon folks may have of a born n' bred Southerner. Perhaps I'm being a bit paranoid n' that everything will be fine if I just relax n' be sociable n' all. Still I fear, irrational as it my be, being pre-judged. Then again am I not guilty of pre-judging by fearing that I'll be pre-judged by the Pacific Northwesterners? Need to have more faith in folks. I'm really working on that.

The other sad thing bout all this though is that, no AC 2011 for me:( I've resigned myself to the fact that with me transitioning to grad school (hopefully, fingers n' toes crossed) my focus will be to greatly diverted to getting through the transition. Financially it's just not an option this year. I hate it as I promised a few good folks I've met that I'd be there n' hang with em more than I did for my first one last summer. Trust me though folks, you'll enjoy me lots better if I'm not stressing out bout starting another educational venture. I'm best served to save up for 2012 so it'll be the best con ever. All I ask is that those who are going this year, try not to rub it in too much:P Take care y'all. Yotefox out.
