i just made auburn history.

i am now officially the first person at auburn university to have two different versions of the flu-- at one time...how did i get so lucky?

i have been feeling sick all weekend, so i went to the doctor this morning- only because i accidentally overslept for class- but thank goodness i did, because the doctor told me that there are two different types of influenza (type a and type b) ...and i somehow have both types!

so i'm quarantined in my room until at least wednesday. i don't think i have enough movies/food to last me that long!

ooohh it's going to be a fun, fun week...

70 degrees in january? yes please!

i knew i stayed in the south for a reason! i'm rocking my nike shorts today, and going on a loooong run to enjoy this beautiful weather and clear my head.

i have to interview the auburn baseball team either today or tomorrow...gotta stop putting things off, ughh maybe i'll feel motivated to do it once i come back from my run, dripping in sweat? haha probably not. at least it's the weekend-- TGIF!

what's your sign?

why are horoscopes so intriguing? it's just a collection of random fortunes...but for some strange reason i always catch myself wanting to know more! i seriously am so interested in learning about my sign, gemini-- the twin, who's known for being indecisive and spontaneous.

i honestly couldn't be any more of a gemini. and i refuse to conform to this new zodiac sign change...i will forever be a confused and entertainment-seeking gemini!

gemini -- the twin, dual-natured


likes -- talking, novelty, variety, multiple projects at once, reading (it even said blogging haha)

dislikes -- feeling tied down, routine, being alone, sticking to decisions

famous geminis -- bob dylan, john f kennedy, clint eastwood, andy griffith, barbara bush, johnny depp, anne frank, george bush, donald trump, lionel richie, prince william

and now for today's gemini horoscope! Relations with partners of all kinds - business, romantic, creative - might be somewhat strained today, Gemini. You and the other parties involved may have been under a lot of stress, and you could be snapping at each other. It might be a good idea to keep contact between you to a minimum. If you can't, try to be cordial and cooperative even if you don't feel like it.

Round two.

the last time i found myself blogging, i was sitting sitting under the eiffel tower on a cool summer night, peacefully eating my chocolate crepe.

today, i am sitting at a small desk in my auburn alabama apartment, anxiously waiting for the rain to stop pouring outside my window.

two completely different scenarios, and two different feelings and emotions that coincide with them. and possibly, even two different "jenna's" were present at these two moments.

this summer, i traveled through europe, studying in spain, paris and rome. it was the trip of a lifetime, where my biggest worries included which restaurant to dine and which city to visit each day.

now i am back in my college town of auburn, alabama. not exactly your paris, france. but still filled with places and memories i wouldn't trade even for all the gelato in rome.

i'm slowly easing my way into the real world- i am working at a real job for the first time in my life, at my school's newspaper. and my classes are more demanding now then they've ever been before.

but, such is life. growing up is only a natural part of life and it is something that everyone deals with differently. since i am a journalism major, i deal with stress and look for inspiration in writing. hence my return to the blogging world!

i plan on periodically posting inspirational pictures, quotes and stories just so i can look back from time to time and remind myself how funny and beautiful life is! c'est la vie!
