Almost Back to School

It's so hard to believe that my summer is almost over and I have successfully accomplished next to nothing this summer.  A whole two months of near pure relaxation with some chores thrown in there.  But on Friday I will be moving into a new house around campus.

This so called "house" is still under renovation that was supposed to be done on August 1st.  We still don't have the furniture that we ordered.  It's getting a little ridiculous.  The furniture was supposed to arrive on Monday, then that was pushed back, then again on Tuesday, and Wednesday, but today Wednesday has come and gone and still no furniture.  This will be an interesting weekend if I have to assemble beds, dressers and wash all new dishes.  Yikes!

I've been helping around this new house where I can.  Two weeks ago I painted, last week I gardened and today I helped with some closets.  So now when I leave, part of me will always be in that house.  I have also been busy around my house.  Before I leave I have been instructed to basically pack up my whole room.  Yesterday, I went through all my clothes and picked out the pieces that I can finally part with and tomorrow's task is to go through all my papers and crap.  That will probably be more painful than getting rid of some of my clothes because it involves reading.

It's weird to think that I will be a senior this year.  I've already had one future-freak-out session and I'm sure there are more of those to come.  School has gone by a lot faster than I thought it would.  I was so confident Junior year and now all that confidence seems to fade in and out of uncertainty.  I hope that through my last year of classes I can gain back that confidence that I once had.  I know I'm smart and talented but I hate it when I forget.  Perhaps I should start some daily affirmations to get my mind back on the right track.  Or maybe I just need to write some more.  Only time will tell.

I think that we can consider this the restart of my blog.  I'm rusty, I can tell.  It will get better and more interesting as things pick up.  I promise :-)

Pip Pip Cheerio!
