Off to a great adventure!

Well folks, its been swell. I picked up my cap and gown yesterday tassel and all. I'm actually graduating.

I know if you're a prospective you can relate. We're both leaving our familiar lives for something new and exciting. It's a bit different this time for me. I have no idea what to expect, no classes or teachers and no gigantic institution of a university to keep me on track. Then again, I'm also college educated with a great portfolio and a lot of confidence. I really poured everything I had into this major and I'm very satisfied with what has come out the other end.

I daydream of my near future constantly. I'm finally going to be in the same place as my fiancé and starting off our lives as a unit. We've got all these adventures to pursue that have been building up for the past few of years of a long distance relationship. We can't wait to cook together, ride bikes, visit museums, decorate our apartment... ok, maybe that last one is more me than him. I'll have weekends finally and even the luxury of regular grocery shopping and laundry will be mine. Life is good.

So I'm off! Off on another mad-cap adventure. Thanks Syracuse, for giving me the tools to do what I've always been meant for. Thanks to my parents for being a constant support in every way. Thanks to my friends who have helped me along the way and thanks to myself (as weird as that might seem) for sticking with it and getting through. I'm ready to be done, but I'm thankful for all four years here for helping me be who I am today.

Keep up with me as Allie Jennings now and Allie Kilmer in a little more than a year.

Wish me luck!
