Mine:
-working as a reporter for the St. Louis Post-Dispatch
-meeting Kel from Survivor

Soon to be: Visiting Phoenix and LA!

I met, partied with (and hugged and kissed) Jon Bon Jovi. And won $500 at blackjack the same night. (Vegas, obviously.)

Then, two months later, getting a message relayed thru friend that took me to concert (his agent) that Jon says HI. Apparently Jon told my friend to make sure he said Hi to me and that then went on to say that it was great to meet me, that I was really cool and pretty.

I almost DIED. Still whenever I think of it, I'm like HE REMEMBERED ME. HE REMEMBERED ME TWO MONTHS LATER. I made an impression on JBJ. haha It cracks me up.

And I told my friend, you make sure to say HI right back. He laughed and was all I'm so glad I can be the messenger between you two.

And, having a major talent agency review my screenplay and get AMAZING feedback, that was pretty great too.

And how could I ever forget being one of 50-75 people at a private, acoustic Dave Matthews performance in Las Vegas.

Great topic

!

I almost died and went to heaven

, when I met one of my most fave players ever, Shawn Estes, pitcher of the San Francisco Giants. I met him like 2 weeks ago!!! He is one of the hottest, and one of the nicest, professional athletes I have ever met!!!! I was in shock for awhile

.

The other thing that's pretty cool is that my cousin won 2 tickets to go to Vegas. He chose to bring me, which I find pretty damned cool!!!

The most exciting by far:

Attending AGD's Convention in Atlanta last week and meeting 600+ of my AGD sisters for the first time.

I'm a science major, so basically what scientists do is ask for money from people, and if they get it, do research. Well, this spring I applied for my first grant, and I actually got it! Now I'm doing NASA-funded research. (I'm so getting into the grad school of my choice!) That, and being elected to exec in my sorority.

Yes, I had to leave LSU. I ran out of aid money. I've always wanted to live in Texas and now I am.

It seems like all a dream,though. It's going to be werid not being in school in August
