News from the home front:
1. I have purchased my tickets to Japan. Ooooh boy, that was nerve wracking, and the trip will be nuts. I leave on the 23rd of August. I fly from Minneapolis, to New York, to Seoul Korea, to Akita. Yeah, that makes logical sense. Then the flight home I go from Akita to god-only-knows-where-Japan, stay there for a 12 hour layover, fly to Tokyo, then Chicago, then HOME!!! on the 20th of December.
Then on the 21st, I hop on a train to go out to Washington state for Christmas. Lord.
2. Internship and job? Going well. They make me realize how much I love having a fun work environment, and how much I completely support and love the idea of adoption.
3. Gonna be out of this 1010 hell hole in t-minus 8 days. WE ARE SO EXCITED!!!
4. 21 in t-minus 4 days. License is renewed and all systems are go.
5. Grades are in... I fully expected this semester to be my absolute worst, grade-wise. I did not try. I did all of my end of semester projects and papers at the last minute. I didn't study. Hell, I just plain did not care about school anymore, I just wanted to be done, this semester was hell. I said my goodbyes to my GPA. And then? I got better grades this semester than I have ever gotten in my life. My GPA went UP by more than .1, reaching an all time personal high. What have I learned from this? Hamline is too fucking easy. I'm terrified for grad school, because I have not been prepared for any level of intense work or criticism of my work. Guh. Screw this. I'm not going to do another reading for the rest of my college career.
6. My sister graduates from highschool in 2 weeks! Congrats to her! Yay Erin!
