It's Officially Summer

Okay. I guess not officially for the rest of the world, but definitely for me. I had my last final today. It went alright, we'll see when I get my grades back. But not only is it now summer, but I now get to do all the things that I've been thinking about doing instead of studying.

So I thought I'd start with a brief update. I've been told to update this one since my enviroblog apparently isn't all that interesting (you know who you are). I guess wanting to save the planet for the hypothetical children that I never plan on having isn't that interesting to most people (I would lament right now about the lack of concern about the environment in general, but I guess I'll spare that harangue for a different blog.

Anyway, so. First things first. I'm gearing up to move next Friday! This has been quite a long and arduous ordeal—alright, maybe not long considering my parents will have gone through 2 escrows in less than 2 months, bur arduous definitely. I'd go into the whole story, but frankly I'm a little sick of the story and would rather just talk about how excited I am about moving out on my own. I would talk about the condo in detail if I weren't afraid of stalkers (not that anyone reads this anyway, but I'd rather not take the chance). Suffice it to say that my new place is incredibly awesome, I'm stoked out of my mind and I plan on having lots of parties—parties of all kinds: dinner parties, sushi parties, zombie movie parties, cranium parties, wine tasting parties, etc. So it's probably a good thing that my new Real Simple came in the mail today with this headline: "Entertaining made easy: 46 recipes and decorating ideas." Perfecto!

The parentals and brother will be coming down on Thursday to help me move out on Saturday, which is quite exciting. I've seen more of my family than usual, which always has its stresses, but overall, I've come to appreciate my family more now that I don't have to be with them everyday. But until they get here, I plan on doing all sorts of fun stuff that I haven't gotten a chance to do.

And once I get over the move, my boyfriend will (hopefully) be flying down for a few weeks and we'll be returning to Washington for a few weeks. Then I'm back down here for summer school starting in July.

I have a feeling it's gonna be a good summer (with lots of time for blogging).
