All good things must come to an end...
I fly back to Rhode Island a week from Saturday. That means only 10 days left of Three Seas XXV. I designed our tshirt and everyone is getting one. I just finished my last assignment for this semester, our class ends on Friday. We have a coastal trip up to Monterey Bay Aquarium (and the annual Artichoke Festival?) this weekend. Then "decompression". I have mixed feelings. On one hand, I'm extremely happy to be done with classes for a few months. I've worked my sweet little ass off over this program and it's paid off. I got all As for my class in Moorea, at least so far (the grade for Coral Reef Ecology hasn't been entered yet). On the other hand... I'm leaving the 17 people I've known, worked with, and loved for the last 9 months of my life. I really have no qualms about leaving Catalina. I'm not nearly as attached to this place as I was to Moorea. But leaving everyone to go home to Rhode Island where everyone I know there has graduated, joined up in the military, or moved away?? I also have no job at home. I don't know what to do with myself if I'm not researching journal articles or SCUBA diving or writing a paper.
Still, there are some things on my list for this summer:
1. Find an apartment for a fall.
2. Look for grad schools to apply to.
3. Study for GREs.
4. Figure out what I'm going to due between January - September of 2010 post-graduation and pre-graduate school.
Also, there's a EastWest reunion in Nahant on June 6th, which will be fun. And lots of baseball to watch. Also, I get to spend time with Spot! I only which I was more content as this program draws to a close, but unfortunately, I've been sleeping worse than ever lately... sleep paralysis, lots of bad dreams, and just all around insomnia. I haven't really had trouble sleeping in the past few months, so why now?
