Bruises

So I managed to do the one thing in Columbus I was trying to avoid...well scratch that two things. I totally biffed it and have a huge bruise right in the middle of my shin. It's still festering so I can only imagine it's just going to be even more apparent by the wedding. I would just get a tan to cover it, but like an idiot I got really burnt at the pool and need to stay out of the sun. Otherwise I'll end up matching my fuchsia dress. I don't even know why I thought I could avoid having visible bruises it's never worked out for me before.

I'm currently in the beautiful new Ohio State Union. This may be completely biased, but I feel like we are one of the only schools that can build a huge structure that is literally decked out in Buckeye pride. I mean everywhere I turn is scarlet and grey, buckeye leaves, carmen ohio, and the list goes on. I think at another university it's would just be too much, but we really do love ourselves that much so it's some how fitting. Again I'm probably just biased, but I really will miss all of this when I'm gone. I did find out one of my counterparts is a fellow Clevelander so that'll be a nice comfort. Also I've been eyeing buckeye gear to bring with me. I can't completely decided on what is an appropriate game day outfit. My jersey will be too hot, but none of the dresses are really appropriate. Oh such dilemmas!! I'll probably make Melston help me out. She always manages to do a respectable Buckeye outfit.
Speaking of buying stuff I've started to make a dent in my packing list. Have my backpack and tevas, among other assorted things. However, no matter how much i get done I still can't shake the feeling that I'm not doing everything I need to get ready. I feel like I'm in a constant state of preparing for a final, I'll just never feel completely prepared. I guess that's the point though, you can't really completely prepared for this. As much as I'm enjoying being in columbus and looking forward to the wedding, I'm kinda ready to head home. I may just start to pack everything before Bonaire so I'm not feeling this way down there. I don't want to be scuba diving and thinking...hmmmm, should I get a solar charger..will my loans get deferred quick enough....nope I just want to look at the fish and enjoy the sun.
Well i'm off to enjoy the pool...I'll be the loser in the t-shirt because I can't manage to not get burnt.
