almost. there.

I just realized that in about 2 months, I will be halfway done with grad school. Whaaattt??!! I literally feel like it was yesterday that I was applying for grad school, assistantships, and praying about where I should be. Crazy how time flies. I'm excited though! Grad school is so different from college, and not necessarily one of those places that you want to stay for a long period of time. I'm enjoying it, but I know when it comes time for me to be done, I'm gonna be gone! I'm ready to just have a job, have evenings and weekends free, and start a life with Jake :)

As I sit here in my office at my GA on campus, I caught a whiff of something that reminded me of the beach...and then I realized it was me. I caved and went to the tanning bed yesterday (but I'm only going for 7 days because I got a coupon in the mail and it's free--why would I pass that up? It's my reward for having to work over spring break and not being able to go to the beach for the first time in 4 years) and I maybe kinda sorta got a little red. Let's face it, my skin hasn't really seen the sun since October (when I went to the tanning bed for a month) and then before that it was August. So needless to say I was pretty pasty, and now I'm a little red, so this morning after I showered, I used my after sun lotion, and it reminds me of the beach :)) I would give just about anything to be there right now, but I guess this is just the way life goes!

I am currently conjuring up in my head different plans for vacation for this summer...the possibilities are endless! I can't wait. Summer pleeeaaseeee hurry!! :)
