Another Milestone
I am sure you all are just sitting on the edge of your seats, anticipating and waiting breath for the finale of “Cory Jenks: International Celebrity” but first I have to talk to you about something. Something special. Something rare. Something that I just realized when I went to satisfy your craving for the cliffhanger I left you last time. I will be celebrating my second anniversary of blogging here in the next few weeks, and along the lines of blog longevity or “blogevity” as I just made up, I realized that my next post would by my 200th!The BICENTENIAL so to speak. As such, my international story of celebrity had to wait so that I could make my 200th blog extra special.
A lot of milestones bring with them sappy, overdone tributes that look back at the past. Others, like television shows celebrating certain milestones, just take the lazy route and use clips from their previous episodes leading to their milestone. I think I’ll go ahead and be lazy and take the “montage” approach.
Although I say this is MY 200th, I have to admit that it has been OUR journey. I have written them, but you all have followed my trip through college via my blogs. Where have we gone? Well, way back in 06’ you heard about when baseball’s Hit King Pete Rose called me out when he came to campus to speak to us. You were there when my friend Jenna surprised my for my 20th birthday (what a way to get me out of my teens!).
Moving on to 2007, I shared with you my love of the (now defunct) Banana Pudding Wednesdays and you were there when I got “The Call” saying had been admitted to pharmacy school. We have shared the thrill of victory when we won our intramural basketball championship and you felt the agony defeat (several times) when we were unable to bring in the intramural softball crown (or racquetball, or flag football, or basketball...again).
We took a fun vacation to Chicago, and saw Wrigley Field for the first time. There was the excitement of starting pharmacy school, and the harsh reality of all the work that came with. We took a trip to Virginia for Thanksgiving, and got stuck in Houston for 5 hours on our flight back home to Arizona. Then we learned about Nuclear Pharmacy (and how to pronounce it) and to also make friend with federal prosecutors that you play racquetball against.
So we are here, now, at the start of a new school year, blog number 200 and going strong! Thanks for sharing all the time with me, and here’s to many more! And as always…take care!
