It's been a few months, but I promise I have good excuses for my absence. Just as a quick rundown, here's where I've been and what I've done since we last chatted:
- Spring quarter final papers (all 5 of them, all 100 pages of them. This is not a joke.)
- D.C. to hang with my girls T and Ash
- York, PA for Lizzer's wedding and ELC Spring Break '10
- D.C. part 2 with T's boy Chad and his mom Karen (lovely.)
- Europe. NBD.
- Zurich and Lausanne, Switzerland with A.P. and Nicki
- Geneva with Nicki
- Rome with Court
- London with Court
- Paris with my boyfriends (known to most as Mikey and Rick H.)
- London part 2 with cousin Michael
- Sidney (as in Ohio) for T and Chad's wedding
- Wrighty 1, 2010 with my magic-makers (OASC Summer Workshop)
- Demon Country and The Cleve
- Chi-city for V and Adam's wedding
- Demon Country and The Cleve part 2
- D.C. part 3 for Beta Theta Pi General Convention and Leadership College
Yeah. And I've still got a week away at LeaderShape to look forward to.
"But is it such a bad thing to live like this for just a little while? Just for a few months of one's life...?" - Eat, Pray, Love
(Isn't it interesting that a movie about a book about traveling and finding yourself comes out right as I end a summer full of the same thing? Ahh, coincidence. Or maybe fate...)
I've been packing, unpacking, and repacking all summer. And those of you who know me well know that I wouldn't have it any other way. (You're also not surprised I summed up my summer using bullet points.) This truly has been the summer of a lifetime, for a million little reasons.
So now I'm trying to get back in to the swing of things here in the 'bus before autumn quarter begins mid-September. You know, laundry, cleaning out closets, getting used to American coffee again (ugh.) catching up at work, finally buying curtains...
and updating my blog.
I'd like to take the next few weeks to catch you up on everything on that list up there by focusing on my favorite moments throughout the summer. Hopefully it will be a unique and personal glimpse into my special little (or not-so little) world from the past three months.
Here we go...
