South Haven, sunsets, sandcastles, and sleep!

My last facebook update looked a little something like this:

It’s 37 degrees in Michigan. It’s also April and I’m sick of wearing winter clothes, so cut of capri length sweat pants, a long-sleeved shirt and vest with the heat blasting it is!

I remember June gloom in Pasadena, but have to admit that the December-January-February-March and now April gloom is much worse. I desperately crave for warm weather, and the sun to come out and shine on my skin like Floridians crave orange juice (they have to, right?!).

Or, maybe it’s not just a change in weather I’m craving, but a physical sign that summer is coming. With my career as a graduate student ending in six weeks, I am truly in the final stretch. Not being much of a runner myself, but this is the hardest stretch I’ve had to go through. The amount of writing I’ve done in the past three weeks has worn letters down on my keyboard (not really, I have a Mac!), and my brain bothers me for sleep every 3 hours. Seriously, I’ve written 10 pages (we’re talking single-spaced here), and I’m only 6/13 of the way finished with the PACT assignment. One 15 page (double-spaced, woo hoo!) case study, and two other minor (12-15 pages) papers due, on top of the regular weekly readings, discussions, and class time, and I’m done with school, FOREVER!

Hmm… forever… seems like I’ve said those words about school before :) Okay, so maybe it won’t be forever, but it will be for a very long time! I’ve got loans to pay off people! (On a side note, you can send donations to the Kathryn Morton Fund, c/o my parents house).

South Haven, sunsets, sand castles, and sleep! …And maybe a little Captain Lou’s thrown in there :)

Six weeks…
