Into the summer
It's been a long time since I blogged and I must admit, I'm ashamed. I really have no excuse. I have decided to make it one of my goals of the summer to clean up my blog, maybe work on a new look for it, who knows! It all depends on how computer savvy I feel like getting.
In the past few months I've finished what would be considered my 3rd credit year at school. One more year left to go and I'm home free, thank God. As I registered for those few remaining credits, the feeling of joy as I checked the "Yes, I plan to graduate in May 2009" box was fantastic; even though I have no intention of attending said graduation. It was a tough year, it thickened my skin for the last 8 months of this hellish degree. I'd like to say it will be worth it, but in reality a math degree doesn't really take you far unless you're planning for a Master's or the Education program. I'm working with a prof to find something for me to do, however :)
What have I been doing since school let out 2 months ago? Working like a dog. The only thing that's on my mind these days is my upcoming trip across the pond. I took on a summer job at the university as a Stats Lab TA and am still at the theatre AND daycare. Any spare time that I have is spent, surprise, in the city with my boys and/or Leah. I've also been spending a lot of time with my newly acquired friend Danielle which has been a breathe of fresh air.
To say I am excited about going away is an understatement. I've been tanning since the first week of May and shopping like it's going out of style. All with the thoughts "This will be perfect for Greece!" I think I'll have more outfits for Greece than I will opportunity to wear them! Next thing I need to buy though is a bathing suit. I'm willing to drop a fair amount of money on one (or two :)) as it will be what I will wear the majority of the time.
Speaking of bathing suits, I believe I am off to bed now. Just a short post, but I worked day 4 of 9 in a row at the theatre today so I'm exhausted. Leah and I are off to Horseshoe tomorrow. It's the first day of summer so I believe a swim is well in order.
