This is the very last week of school! Right now, I have three art projects due, three papers to write, one test, and a few other random things to complete before I can officially say I’m done! My exam schedule worked out nicely this year because everything is spaced out, so I have time to work and study in between it all. If all goes well, a couple friends and I are planning a trip to the beach on one of the days that none of us have an exam! We like to try and doing something fun together before we move back home or to our summer jobs and we don’t get to see each other as much any more.
Oh, summer! Somehow this week is probably going to be the hardest in terms of focusing, even though there have been lots of other weeks throughout the semester where I’ve had more work than this. This semester’s workload has been consistently heavy all the time, and it has really worn me out! After this, working 40 hours per week at my summer job will be relaxing! (I’m serious!) I really am looking forward to my job. I’ll be working as a Senior Graphic Editing Assistant at a company that makes college directories, planners, and other media. I’ve had internships here the past two summers, and they’ve always been a lot of fun. It’s always busy and sometimes it can get pretty intense, but it is a different sort of busyness than school.
I also have a birthday coming up right after school ends, so that is exciting! Aside from that, I’m really looking forward to my sister’s high school graduation because all of our family will be visiting then. My sister, fiance and I are also planning a summer road trip to see our out of state family. Since my family moved this winter, I have been missing them a lot, and I am so ready to go and see them again!
This year has been wonderful, challenging, fun, exciting, full of change, and surprising in many ways. I hope next year will hold just as much excitement, and hopefully I’ll be able to blog about when I come back in the fall! Until then, I hope you enjoy your summer, and I look forward to seeing all the new faces on campus next semester!
