Currently: So I have been thinking since about yesterday of taking a nice little trip somewhere in the West coast sometime in the summer to celebrate ALL my hard work and blood, sweat, and tears. I particularly would like to go to Las Vegas and have already approached my friend Jenn about going with me and she is VERY down for it. So I am hoping that that works out. She called me yesterday shortly after I had texted her about possibly coming with me, and she's already looking at prices, where we could stay, and what we could do while there. Haha! She's really getting on it...I like the way she thinks! Hopefully by around August (which is when we would like to go), she'll be able to afford the trip. I mean, I have $1,000 being saved for me for my West coast excursion but don't know how much of it can cover me AND her...so I really do hope that by then she'll be able to afford to pay at least half of the trip's expenses for herself. Otherwise, if she is absolutely unable to go, I plan on meeting up with my friend Britanny in California. Either way, I MUST get out there this summer once fieldwork is over. See how that all works out. In the meanwhile, I have to present my Thesis TWICE this week. Once on wednesday to defend it, and then myself and my group have to present again on friday to our colleagues in the occupational therapy department. And then next week I have one presentation; my "Lunch with the scholars" presentation. Oh yea, and I have decided to go to Formal afterall, since Jenn and Sam WOULD NOT stop begging me! Oh boy. Hopefully, it will be a good time. So in a nutshell, i've got a lot going on before I could truly celebrate rising out of the ashes of last summer like a Phoenix...and my fingers are crossed always.
