wow... its been a long time

hey everyone... if anyone is still reading .... as I have been remiss in posting.

I thought I would update people on my life a little bit. my last day of school for the summer was thursday. I had to turn in my final presentation for Landscape appreciation, which was on a garden room. I had a lot of fun putting it together, it was almost like scrapbooking! well... almost. I think I did pretty good in all my classes this quarter, except maybe for field sketching. simply because I didn't turn in enough homework, so the teacher couldn't judge my progress very well. But I did feel satisfaction with how my final sketches turned out. [on a side note: I also got a $450 scholarship for the upcoming school year!!!] anywho...

The anticipation of summer fun is slowly taking over... I'm still only working 30 hrs/wk at work, so I'll have time to do some things with friends and family. I'm turning 21 this year, and to help me celebrate, my best friend, her husband, and her babygirl are coming out. [well, they are also visiting her parents ;)] I will be taking vacation from work during that week, to spend with them. One of my other friends is heading off to college in August to start her freshman year. So in July, I'm fulfilling a promise I made to take her on her first camping trip. Besides that, I'm going to enjoy some time with my family taking day trips around the area [and going to see PotC2!!!!!!]. I plan to thoroughly enjoy my summer and to use the time to prepare my mind [and wallet!] for my upcoming final year at college. I can't wait!

There are a few other little goals I hope to accomplish this summer:
read Ann Lovejoy's Organic Garden Design School
start reading Understanding the Times
work on my scrapbook at least once a week
blog appr. every other week on something meaningful
send a card to someone every week

I'll let you know how I do with these goals... ;)
