Howdy all, I am ecstatic because I have completed and emailed my last final exam. So Woo Hooo, all of my time is my own again! I learned a ton in the class and met some fantastic people but still I am glad to be done finally.  Now I can consentrate on finishing Memoirs of a Geisha before it comes out on the 23rd and then there all of the other projects I need to finish by the weekend. 

On another happy note I am going to Natural Bridge Caverns with my roommates as a present for my birthday. Not on my birthday but somewhere there abouts I think. Hooray! I have never been but I went to the website and it looks like a lot of fun!  Eek I can't wait! This makes my effin day because the only thing I love more than being outside is exploring the insides of  the outside (say that 3 times fast).  Fantastic-ness (is that a word) abounds in Casa De Environgirl! 

Eh Em.....So...What did you get me for my Birthday? Is is nice? Is it homemade? Is it bigger than a bread box? Is it cash? Well whatever it is it better be superkeen. LOL!

Starting next week I will again be posting info on rituals and herbs. Sorry I deviated for so long but I get sidetracked occassionaly by random life stuff (of course my religion is life stuff but I dont always blog about it).

Anyway, while I have your attention I have some random stuff to say....first I am gonna learn to play the guitar if its the last thing I do (well it is not that severe but I really have always wanted to learn).  I am gonna do something new to my person...not sure what yet but I am thinking of FINALLY getting tattoed or my nose pierced.  I want a tattoo of the tree of life but it looks like it might really hurt (I will have to find someone to go with me and hold my hand. any volunteers? ).  The funny thing is that I have a high tolerance for pain but the anticipation drives me insane.

It seems that this entry is all over the place, I guess because I am so excited about having all of my free-time to myself. So, Woo Hoo, I am free!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

How about a poem:

Don't Go Far Off

Don't go far off, not even for a day, because --
because -- I don't know how to say it: a day is long
and I will be waiting for you, as in an empty station
when the trains are parked off somewhere else, asleep.

Don't leave me, even for an hour, because
then the little drops of anguish will all run together,
the smoke that roams looking for a home will drift
into me, choking my lost heart.

Oh, may your silhouette never dissolve on the beach;
may your eyelids never flutter into the empty distance.
Don't leave me for a second, my dearest,

because in that moment you'll have gone so far
I'll wander mazily over all the earth, asking,
Will you come back? Will you leave me here, dying?--Pablo Neruda
