home stretch

summer is coming.

one more week of classes, then it's finals week and i'm heading home! i can't wait. my mom and lauren visited us this past weekend and it was so great. i'm excited to get to spend more time with them very soon! i'm really looking forward to going home for the summer. i'll be working full time, but i've got a lot of plans with lauren and some personal goals that i hope will help keep me feeling sane and productive.

one thing i was worried about this summer was how to keep up my french! i don't want to forget everything i know since i won't be taking it again until the fall. i bought a french book of mormon and i'm going to read it alongside my english copy, which i think will be challenging and also awesome. one thing my teacher suggested i could do is keep a journal in french. i love that idea! i also plan to watch a lot of french movies this summer. i hope you're up for that, fam... 

other things i am really looking forward to this summer? day trips to new york, philly, and washington dc. seeing this show and this exhibit. a potential family vacation to california. checking off some of these. having time for leisure reading. it's gonna be good. now i've just got to get through finals week...

p.s. last week i got saltwater sandals and an iphone and i am obsessed with both of them. that's all.
