here i am

It feels great to be blogging again! Two weeks ago I finished up my toughest semester yet and last week, began summer school (just one class!). Today was a lovely afternoon spent catching up with my best friend and her new puppy! We hit up Goodwill and our other usual spots around town. I'm starting to feel like myself again - relaxed, enthusiastic, and hopeful (a few traits that somehow manage to get lost between the mountains of studying, papers, and exams during the semester). Summer vacation tends to have this calming effect on me...but sometimes an anxiety-inducing effect as well if I feel unproductive. Luckily this summer I am taking a Career Development class and have much to prepare for in the coming months.

And now for the exciting news I mentioned in my last post...I will be moving to New York City in August to continue my college studies as an exchange student! This process is still in the works as I have many things to do in preparation such as registering for classes, securing my finances, etc. etc. etc. But I can honestly say that I'm incredibly optimistic for the future. And as always, thank you, dear readers, for your sweet comments!
