And THAT ladies and gentlemen is the million dollar question! That's right! I just came from my LAST CLASS at BYU-I. I only have one final left and then it's over and done with. My time at college will be over...for now. My future goal is to start Grad School in Fall of 2011.
But as the for the immediate future? Not really any amazing or impressive plans. But I wanted to share my list.
What I'll be doing Summer of 2010:
Hike to Timp Cave: Hopefully more than once. Our canyon is SO beautiful and I've desperately missed those mountains.
Plant and harvest our family garden: My mum has been the main driving force behind this project in the past, and she's counting on my help this year...since I'll have NOTHING TO DO!!! :)
Finish our firepit in the backyard: This project was originally slated for completion in summer of '09, but we're determined to get it done this summer. Yay for roasted marshmallows and Starbursts!
Build a bookshelf for all my LOVELY books: (with Dad's help of course!)These poor books have been in boxes for the past few years and it's high time to let them out! I'm somewhat of a book junkie. I have quite a large collection, and plan on accumulating many more this summer!
Run in either the Provo or Salt Lake City 5K: No, this is not a joke. I've been exercising and training for the past few months and it's coming along steadily. I'll keep y'all updated!
Welcome my sister home from her mission!: I know that I've mentioned her before, but I just can't wait! She was originally slated to return home April 12th-5 days from now! But she volunteered to stay an extra 6 weeks to help train the new sister missionaries coming to South Korea. I love her and have MISSED HER! WE haven't seen each other since February 2008!
Relearn my piano concertos: I promised myself that I would keep learning new songs, but I think I'll just take baby steps and re-learn my old pieces before I tackle anything else. Heck, maybe I'll just take piano lessons again.
Relearn how to play the violin: And I mean this in every sense of the word. I haven't really played since high school. Shame on me. But in my (weak) defense, I'm more of an orchestra player, and not a soloist.
And of course, job hunt. :)
I'm also looking forward to getting to know my family again. All six of us will be living at home this summer. We haven't all been together like this since January of 2005 (which is when I first started college).
But one thing I'm REALLY looking forward to, and have missed so bad it hurt is the SUN! It's still snowing here in April, and hopefully when we head south there will be some warmth to be found. I NEED the sun!
And I love you all! Drop me a line! I can't wait to see all my friends again! Have such a wonderful day!
Love Em
Sounds like you have PLENTY to keep you busy...but Nancy and I will definitely have to come see you multiple times this summer!! We miss you! :) That is SO COOL that your whole family will be living together again for the summer! I don't think that will ever happen again with my family---amazing how fast time flies isn't it?!!? :)
