All done!!!
I have officially and successfully completed my 2nd term here at the University of St. Augustine!!! Hooray!!!
Now I am getting ready to depart for my big adventure to Morocco and I just wanted to say thank you again to all of you who have supported me through this process and who continue to support me through everything that I do! Your thoughts and prayers mean so much to me that I can't even express in words!
Also, I wanted to let you all know that I have created a separate online journal/blog to keep up with all of my trip details. That way I have it all in one place, etc. I can't guarantee many updates throughout the next two weeks but I was told we will have internet at least part of the time and I hope to keep everyone as up-to-date as possible! If you would like to follow it just go to:

The Help
I took a study break yesterday to go to the movies with a friend of mine and wen went to see The Help...it was wonderful! I read the book last summer and they did a great job with the movie adaptation, which doesn't always happen! The acting was good, the story thought provoking, and the costumes...fabulous! Makes me want to vintage shop for dresses from the 60s! Anyways...back to studying! Hope everyone is having a great weekend!

up and coming
Just wanted to give everyone a heads up about my life for the next 11 days or so:
-Thursday I have a test at 8, practical at 10 and then another practical at 1...which means that Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday will be spent studying furiously!
-Next week is finals week and I have 3...Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday...so again, more studying all weekend!
-Then I officially leave for Morocco (by way of Madrid) on Thursday, the 18th...so somewhere in all that studying will be some major packing as well!
Wish me luck everyone! Here's hoping I can keep my composure and sanity long enough to at least make it on the plane! Happy Monday!

the beginning of the end
Today, August 1st, officially kicks off the beginning of the end of this 2nd semester! Hooray!!! I don't know if it has been the course work or the fact that it was during the summer or what but I feel like it has been a whirlwind of stress and school work. And I will be happy for it to be over! Also, this is just a heads up in case I don't post anything for a while...this week doesn't look too bad but soon it will be the time when we have to finish up all our assignments, give presentations, final practicals and another round of exams.
Luckily, I had a wonderful weekend to keep me going strong through the next few weeks! I have such a wonderful family and though I will miss them dearly (as well as my puppy dog) I know that they will be cheering me on the whole way! Hope everyone is looking forward to a great week.

SURPRISE!!!
So I am at home in Florence! Hooray!! and it was a complete surprise to Rebecca, who is really hard to keep secrets from so double success! She was supposed to come with the parents to Florida before I leave for Morocco to celebrate her birthday on the 17th as well as to send me off and for them to bring Layla back to Florence for a stay at camp Skinner. However, because she starts her brand new big-girl job on the 15th, she cant come down to see me anymore before I leave or party hardy for her birthday...So I decided to surprise her and come home instead. To be honest I never thought I would pull it off because I'm a bad secret keeper about stuff like this anyway and because she's really good at knowing when I'm hiding something. :) But we did it! Also, papa was surprised because he didn't think I was coming until tomorrow morning! It is so nice to be home...you forget sometimes that you can get homesick, even when you know that you're old enough to be out on your own! Hope everyone has a wonderful weekend and fully appreciates their families as I plan to this weekend!
