the michelle cherie

My name is Michelle and I am nerdy.

Nate and I just finished watching every single episode of Merlin on Netflix. I cried during a lot of episodes. I became very attached to the characters. The ending was sad. People died heroic deaths and *SPOILER ALERT* the old man lasted all 5 seasons without being killed off.

I recommend it to anyone.

I like stories about wizards that have good friends. Kind of like Harry Potter. But there are no wands and their eyes glow when they use magic.

Oh goodness. My lunch break had been over for awhile and I avoided looking at the clock, for fear my eyes make the minutes drag on 68 times longer than necessary. I slipped, and looked at the time: 2:30 pm. "Okay," I said to myself. "Only an hour and a half left of work and then you get to go home and watch Merlin and be with Nate." I preoccupied myself with emails, Facebook, blog reading, and even transferred some calls. "It must be at least 3:00 by now," I told myself. I looked at the clock, full of hope. 2:37.

Today is the first day of school for many in this fine state of Utah. For the past 16 years of my life, the end of August has brought me the first day of school as well. But not today. Not this month. Not even next month. It is so strange to be done with something that has been a part of my life for such a long time. And I kind of miss it. I miss signing up for classes and hoping I get in that one class. I miss finding the coolest folders to use and packing my pencil case with my favorite writing utensils. I miss spending time at the university library on the 4th floor (my favorite). I miss the activities with the free food. Not so much the activity part, but the free food part. NOTHING is better than free food.

So after a nearly 1.5 years' absence, I have decided to return to this neglected blog of mine.

Some highlights from the past year and a half!
