Where's the time gone?

I just noticed that it's been quite a while since I've updated my blog. And here's my explanation: the Thursday after classes were over, I moved out of my apartment into the townhouse where I'll be living next year. My classmates and I went out to celebrate the end of our first year of OT school (I can hardly believe that I made it this far) and then my mom and sisters came up Friday to attend a family friend's graduation.

I left Saturday morning for an intense week of volunteering at the Central Virginia Burn Camp. It was awesome. And hard. And also kind of ridiculous all wrapped in one. But after a grueling week and some really interesting experiences (not to mention all of the attractive fire fighters), I made it through.

Saturday after Burn Camp, I met Kim in Richmond and we got massages. I headed home Sunday and spent the next couple of days with my family. By Thursday I was bored (shocking) so I decided to work. Working Thursday and Friday really kicked my butt. I'm exhausted, but it's all good.

Saturday, Riley, Bailey, and I trekked to Richmond again and spend the night with Kim. We did some shopping at Short Pump and ate at the California Pizza Kitchen. We already went to church today and are getting ready for some pool time and a movie later. YAY.

Tomorrow I go back to work and I am definitely not prepared for it. Oh well. I'm not working Fridays and with the 4th off I should get a really long weekend.

So let me (briefly) share with you some of my summer goals. This way when school starts I can let you know whether or not I met them.

1. Start writing my book

2. Volunteer at Burn Camp

3. Audition for American Idol

4. Road trip down to South Carolina

5. Lose 30 lbs.

6. Work on my tan

7. Go to Maine

8. Go to Wisconsin/Ohio

9. Learn the Hoe Down Throw Down

Weekend fun and almost done!

My littlest sister turned 1 year old on June 2nd. How cute!

In further news, I visited Emily last weekend and we had a total blast. Friday night consisted of a delicious homemade dinner by Mrs. Long, pool time, and frozen yogurt. Saturday Em and I got up at 6:30AM and completed a 7.5 mile hike (Macfee's knob) in Roanoke in under 3.5 hours (it usually takes 4 or so). Then we went out to Panera, did some shopping, and grabbed more FroYo.

The details go on, but it was lovely.

Also, there are only 2 days left of my summer class! WooHoo! More updates to come...

Wish me good luck

Against all odds, I watched the Bachelorette on Monday night and now I am somewhat interested in the outcome of the show. Not because of Ashley - she is by far the worst bachelorette ever and not even because I have no other summer shows to watch and needed another one (though that did help). Mainly it's because my favorite guy is Ben F. and looks exactly like Rafael Nadal.

Therefore I've decided to watch the show this season.

Also, wish me good luck because I have another exam today. But after this, I'll be finished with 3 weeks - only 1 to go.
