Last Week of Grad School Summer Term!

As I am sitting in Starbucks finishing up science assignment that is due in 40 minutes (yes I procrastinated for once, and yes I am distracted by my blog), I am shocked that this is my last Wednesday of my first MIT term. I have been in school full-time for almost 7 weeks...16 credits and 8 classes later, I am a quarter of the way through with graduate school. It is amazing how much information was thrown at me in those 7 weeks...I hope after one month off I will still remember all of it!

Fortunately, part of my last week at school has been helping at a science camp for kids called Camp Invention! It has been going on all week at Whitworth and the MIT's have been able to spend half of the day helping out! As much as I have enjoyed my MIT classes, I must say that playing with the kids has been the highlight....I guess that is why I am going into teaching :)

While school has been awesome, I am definitely looking forward to a month break before I start up in the fall. Here are some things that I am really looking forward to:

• Lindsay's Birthday in Seattle with Linz, Ande, Joanna, Claire and Ebay
• A few days of NO CLASS in Spokane and finally decorating my bedroom
• Heading back over to the WestSide to see my family and best friend Jackie!
• 10k Race for the Homeless in Vancouver, WA
• SAN DIEGO with mom, dad and liana...watch out California!
• Liana's 17th Birthday...AHHH!
• Gaga Weekend: Linz, Jimmy, Ebay and maybe Keith: we will camp out in my backyard, make smores, go to the pet parade in Tumwater, kayak and canoe and then attend the best concert ever!
• A week of relaxing in Spokane
• half marathon training

ONLY 2 MORE DAYS OF SCHOOL!!!!
