Glory Days Ahead!

Ahhh….summer is here. Even though it’s only May 9th – summer has arrived in Texas already.  Couple that with my 2nd semester of college wrapping up and I’m hot to trot for the beach. I am sitting here looking at my calendar and seeing that I have nothing on the schedule for next Wednesday – and I’m considering driving the kids and myself down to the coast for the day. It’s only a 4 hour drive from here. If we left EARLY on Wednesday morning, we’d get there by noon and could play all day in the sand. We could drive home in the early evening – and be home by bedtime. It really is doable. And Wednesday seems like a good day for it!

I’m SO GLAD to be finished with another semester of college. I had really easy classes this semester. SUPER easy classes, actually. Which made the semester enjoyable – even if it was a lot of reading and writing. Next fall should be a little more challenging – I am taking my first of 2 biology classes, a political science class, a technical writing class, and a philosophy class on ethics. Only 12 hours – but it’s going to be a lot of reading/writing … again. Of course – that’s basically all college is. The technical writing class is actually an online course, so again I’ve been able to keep my on-campus obligations to 9 hours, 2 days/week. Hopefully the mid-terms and finals will go as smoothly as they’ve gone this semester!  **keeping fingers crossed**

I actually changed my major so I do not really know how much longer it will be until I graduate. 

But that’s neither here nor there now. Right now, all I can think of is going here:
