So it is another Tuesday, but frighteningly the end of July is quickly drawing near. I cannot believe how quickly summer has gone by. The past few weeks have been exceptionally busy as I traveled to Minnesota for a week for a wedding and to visit my amazing family up there! I also have moved into a new apartment which has taken up quite a bit of my time, as you can imagine. It would be so easy to move if I wasn't...myself, I guess. I have big time problems with clutter and leaving things all in boxes everywhere, so I have been struggling to get everything out and find a place for everything. Funny how great it sounds in theory and how difficult it is in execution! I have also decided to become a crafty, amazing, inspirational sort of person (which is difficult considering I lack the ability to work power tools and the even more important knowledge of how to sew). However, I refuse to let these minor limitations stop me from figuring out ways to still make fun and functional things for the apartment, etc. Helping me with this dream is my new discovery of the website Pinterest! I hope you are all frequenters of it because it is hands-down amazing.
But I am now attempting to (translation: struggling tremendously to) get back into the swing of a regular schedule, work, and school. It is all so overwhelming and I know I just need to dive in and take it a little at a time to reduce the load. Still, it's one of those things that is much more difficult in the execution of it... I am, however, at the office today, and I have sent a ridiculous number of "house-keeping" emails and even managed to do a little research. Still on my list for today is: checking into student health insurance (eerrggggg), and printing a million pages of documents that I need to read. Wish me luck! Oh, and in case you haven't heard... I PASSED ALL OF MY COMPREHENSIVE EXAMS!!!! I cannot explain the feeling of euphoria, elation, relief, and slight terror (of what comes next) that I am experiencing, but it is still a great mix! Take care, and more soon.
Casey
