Free at last, free at last

Thank God Almighty, I am free at last!

It wasn't nearly as big a relief as last year--I think because this year was just so much easier--but it still feels good to be done.

A smattering of my summer plans:
* Cleaning out/making my study functional. It is currently the dump of the condo, where we put everything that doesn't have a place and/or we don't know what to do with.
* Completing my wedding album (as soon as I get off my butt and order copies of a few more pictures)
* Redecorating our bedroom, mostly by painting walls and some furniture, but also removing borders, putting up crown and new baseboard molding, and replacing closet doors.
* Spending a day a week at school, organizing and moving stuff to my new (larger) room and getting the old room (which will become a dedicated science lab) in better shape.
* Taking three ballet classes a week to stay in shape.
* Going to Chicago before and after attending a wedding in Kentucky.
* Reading, reading, reading. Anything I can get my hands on.
* Taking a week-long seminar in August offered by my college on stem cells, taught by my favorite professor. Staying in beautiful Door County, WI, on the college's property, and eating the fabulous cuisine of Chef Steve during that week.
* Relaxing, renewing, and revitalizing. Those three Rs are so much more important than the other 3 during the summer!

Here's hoping your summer plans are shaping up to be just as beneficial for body, mind, and soul.
