First of all, I was accepted to Florida State University on December 3rd. I was born with veins flowing with garnet and gold blood, so this is such a thrill to me. I'm still in shock I was accepted.. the average SAT score was 1350. Yikes. The class of 2013 is a smart one ;] I'm SO happy though, because my grandmother is a huge donor to the university, and I'm the first of the grandchildren to go to Florida State. I also want to pledge Kappa Delta as she did.. sororities are HUGE in my family.. as for any southern family, for my great-grandmother was also a KD at FSU, and my aunt was a Delta Zeta at FSU; my mother was a Phi Mu at Rollins College.
The only sad thing is however, the day before that, my uncle Richard passed away suddenly. He was only 55-years-old, and lived 2 houses away from me. It was very surreal, I had just seen him on Thanksgiving, and I ate Thanksgiving dinner with his 15-year-old son (my cousin), and he shared with me how the next week his father was going to teach him how to drive in his Porche, the dream of every young boy. I miss my uncle very much, he was a great man, and the biggest Florida State fan EVER. My aunt hugged me crying and said that no one would be as proud of me as Uncle Richard is, smiling down on me from heaven. God bless.
On a more positive note, I was able to attend the Carrie Underwood/ Little Big Town Concert this past Friday. I'm obsessed with country music, especially Carrie Underwood. She is just as gorgeous and talented in person, and when she waved at us, my best friend and I acted like 5-year-olds, squealing and smiling! Little Big Town was also amazing, they have PERFECT harmonies with each other. It's beautiful, and the blonde, Kimberly, who has this most darling southern accent (Georgia belle) waved at us!
Carrie!
What is everyone else doing for Christmas. Let me know, ya'll!
