Summer 2011 plans

Well, everyone, I just finished up my semester. I've done pretty spectacularly, and I think I'll be getting straight A's. ^_^ That's exciting to me, especially since I'm a perfectionist (I'll probably do a confession about that sometime in the future). It's been a busy semester, especially in the last three weeks of classes. My finals actually stretched across two weeks, with normal assignments still due in other classes, so that was a bit stressful.
Since my semester ended on Wednesday, people have been asking me what my plans were for the summer. Really, I don't have interesting plans for the summer. The highlight of my summer will be my dear friend Angie's wedding (in which I am a bridesmaid). Other than that, I plan to get a job and work my tail off, hopefully hang out with friends, and teach my sister and some of her friends anatomy and physiology.
At this point, much of this is being temporarily postponed while we clean out our basement. It flooded Thursday morning, and we were up to our ankles in grey water (if you don't know what that is, bless your innocence). Since then, we have been cleaning up what we can. It's going a bit slowly, since it has been mostly up to Rebekah (my sister) and I. We have as good of a time as we can while cleaning up grey water and the aftermath of the flood. We listen to music together, sing loud/lipsync into handweights, and get rid of a lot of the junk that has cluttered up our lives and house for years. So, while that's time-consuming, it is a good thing.
I am hoping to have time this summer to improve my artwork. I think that I should have time, among the huge list of things I have going on.... ;) I am also hoping/needing to get into shape. I would also very much like to deepen my bento making knowledge and skills.
It's proving to be a fairly interesting summer for most of my friends. One is going to Italy, one is going to China, one is taking classes and getting ready to go to school in Indiana, and of course one is getting married. Others are just working this summer, like me.

Confession #6

I hate online team projects. This whole mess has been absolutely freaking ridiculous. However, somehow, it managed to pull together.
To God be the glory.
Hallelujah.

Confession #5

I am uneasy at the church I have been part of for almost 15 years. I've been somewhat uncomfortable there for about a year now, but I believe that God has now told me to leave. So my next step is finding out how to search for a new church home, and then to find that church home. I would really appreciate prayer.

Confession #4

Easter just doesn't feel right to me anymore unless I go to a Passover Seder. It's something that I do, without my family, to personally get myself prepared for Easter.

Confession #3

I'm scared of thunderstorms. Not really the storm part, or even the lightning part. Thunder just freaks me out a bit.

Confession #2

I am a definite procrastinator. Usually, my life is sucked into this glowing screen that is like a vortex of wasted time. So... the next two weeks of my life I need to somehow overcome this personality trait. Here's praying for a miracle. ^_^#
