Finally Summer

After a semester of 8 AM classes/work hours nearly every day of the week, I will officially begin my summer vacation by finally sleeping in tomorrow morning. :) Though I took my last final over a week ago, I managed to continue to wake up early.  This was partly due to random morning events I planned to attend and also, perhaps, because my body has become used to waking up early after training it all semester. I don't even know if it is possible for me to sleep in anymore, but I will try anyways. :)

I can't believe I have already finished my first year of college. It feels like just yesterday I was packing up my life into our van in preparation for the long road trip from North Carolina to Texas. I remember hearing the upperclassmen I met after arriving here saying that my freshmen year would fly by and thinking to myself, "They must be crazy! I don't think the days could go by any slower." But looking back now, I will admit that they were right. All of the people met, crazy memories made, torturous labs survived, exam weeks endured, life lessons learned, hardships faced this year seem as if they happened in just a blink of an eye.

Speaking of blinking eyes, my eye lids are becoming heavier and are staying closed longer. I believe that it is time to truly begin my summer break with a nice 12+ hour sleep. :)

finally, a good night's rest :)
