From 80 degrees last Friday to 30 and 40 the coming days...O! And it started snowing on Thursday! I really just want to be able to walk out of the house without a jacket! It's basically May...this is not okay! On the positive side: You know how I'm always telling you every year how stressful picking classes are for the next semester? With my final semester this Fall, it was just for my internship which I needed a special code for. Simple, easy, and the LAST time I will ever have to pick classes for school! (I'm assuming any graduate education doesn't play by the same system...right?)
Only one more crazy research paper/analysis to write and one final to take and I'll be done. I think I'll need to take a vacation somewhere warm...very warm after all this. I haven't taken a vacation since...I honestly have no idea (I'm not a long distance traveler, that's for sure!) Time to change that!
