DD, Anyone?

Oh, Dunkin Donuts. Why are you occupying my thoughts today? I think when it's to the point that when my after school activities include Dunkin Donuts runs at least once a week, it means a) I've got a serious addiction, and b) I've got too much time on my hands.

A. Addiction? I think yes. I'll take chocolatey frosted goodness for $0.89, Alex. Thank you Tommy for getting me hooked. Those DD employees must be judging us SO hard. Not that we care...

B. As much as I love Dunkin Donuts, it doesn't exactly give me the productive feeling I'm looking for. Now that MiniTHON is essentially over for the year, I'm feeling like I need a new project... like, now. Today I went to school after hours to (attempt to) pick up my camera, and walked right into the middle of a spaghetti dinner raising money for the relief efforts for Japan. I was completely oblivious to the fact that this dinner was even going on, but ecstatic to discover it! I've been so caught up in MiniTHON stuff ever since I learned about the devastation in Japan that I've barely had time to gather my thoughts, let alone think about other causes. But now that I've finally got some free time, I want to do something to help. I need to do something to help.

Considering it's 2AM and I'm still wide awake watching crappy ABC Family movies and surfing the good ol' blogosphere, I'd say now's as good a time as any to get started on this little project of mine. I'm not sure what I'll do, or where it'll go, but I'm optimistic for the time being.

5 months until I'm in State College preparing for my first THON as a Penn State student, and 4 and a half years until I've got the degree in hand to do this stuff for a living.

Life is wonderful, and in the spirit of this whole newfound optimism things, I guess I'll plan for more and embrace the small things in life for now.
