...and we breathe a sigh of relief.

Holy Cow!!! My junior year of college is complete.
Classes ended yesterday and only 2 essays left to write (so I guess it is technically not over...but I like to think it is).

There is an amazing sense of freedom at the end of the semester, especially the spring semester. Vacation has begun for four whole months, and unless you are taking a summer class or an internship, you probably don't have to use your brain quite as much. There is plenty of time to read what you want when you want (my stack of books for fun is constantly growing), work on personal projects that you haven't had time for (my closet which has absolutely no free inch of space or all the artsy stuff I've been collecting to work on) and travel (I'm going to France for 11 days...in 12 days...and I plan on doing small road trips and camping on my days off from work). Of course there is also plenty of time for money making. I will be working three jobs this summer...Goldthwaite's (cooking breakfast) in Biddeford Pool, Union Church (admin assistant) also in Biddeford Pool, and Buffleheads (hostessing) just down the street from UNE. Any other free time will be dedicated to my personal addiction to the sun and the beach. That's what you get when you spent every waking hour on the sunny days playing in the sand and sun when you were growing up!

But this is not all to say goodbye, I will be continuing blogging throughout the summer. About work, summer classes, my trips and all that good stuff! So please keep checking in and I hope to see you all on campus next fall!!!
