Summer Update!

I just realized it's been almost a month since my last post! Here's a quick update of what's been going on in my life since then:
- P-Day (the best day of the year!)... this year's P-Day was quite epic. After a rough semester, it was nice to have a day to just relax and have fun with friends!
- End of classes and finals... one project, two papers, and two written finals!
- Move-out of 226... I've had such an amazing year living with my best friends in 226. We were all close last year, but living together has brought our friendship to a whole new level. I love you Mary, Marci, Katie, Allyson, Kate, Taylor, Alex, and Kayley!
- Officially accepted to study abroad with SIT in South Africa spring semester 2013! The official acceptance came a week after all of my application materials were submitted... much quicker than I had expected to say the least! After much stress and running around like a chicken with it's head cut off, I've finally submitted all of my confirmation materials as of Thursday. Now it's time to start applying for study abroad scholarships...
- Start of summer jobs... I'm back working for the motorcycle safety program and the berry farm. Dad and I are also launching our summer eBay sales today!
- Catch-up with high school friends... all of my friends are living away from home this summer so I've had a very small window of opportunity to see them before they leave for their various jobs (Emily at West Point, Alyssa in NYC, Missy in Middlebury, and Liz and Morgan at sleep-away summer camps). Luckily I've been able to see all of them! We've all made plans to meet-up later in the summer... Emily, Missy, and I are hoping to spend a weekend with Alyssa in NYC and Emily and I have plans to explore the Boston area when she's home in August.
- Put the jetski in the lake... Dad and I brought the jetski to the lake on Memorial Day and we took a spin with Allison later that day. So much fun! Turns out Allison is quite the daredevil on the jetski... she almost threw me off on several occasions!

Well, that's it for now! I'll try and keep the blog updated more now that I'm home for the summer.
Ta ta!
