So it’s that time of the year again that I can breathe easy. I have finished my sophomore year of college at NU. Finals week was filled with stress and sleepless nights as well as endless days in the library. Now that I am back home in Troy, half unpacked, I patiently (and frantically) await my grades to be posted online.
I have already begun unwinding and sleeping in late to catch up on my sleep. This will be short lived however until I begin my new waitressing job. This will be new to me so let’s hope I don’t mess up.
Besides this new job I have many adventures planned for this summer. Living in upstate New York there are so many beautiful places to go that are just a short drive away. Drives up to Lake George to go swimming, sight seeing or just shopping in the village will be a regular trip. Visiting Saratoga to not only bet on some horses but also get some delicious food and stop at one of my favorite shops, Saratoga Sundress. Another event in Saratoga I will be looking forward to all be the Hot Air Balloon Festival.
Of course my birthday is in July, two days before our country’s birthday (July 2nd for those of you who couldn’t figure that out) so I am always looking forward to that. I am especially looking forward to that week because I will FINALLY be seeing one of my favorite singers, Kenny Chesney in Canandaigua, NY!!!!
Of course there will be many more spontaneous trips with my friends to water falls, hikes up mountains, and just simply laying by our pools.
And lastly I will be VERY busy getting prepared to move into my new apartment for next semester. My Pinterest board is growing by the minute so I have lots of crafts to get started on.
I will keep you posted on all these things throughout the summer, yes I realize it’s only may but with this 80 degree weather it sure feels like it, so stay tuned!
