Whirlwind

I tend not to post when things are really bad (who wants to hear me whine?) or really good (who wants to hear me crow?), which I suppose leaves it unclear which is the case. Things are really, really, really good; they're just going really, really fast.

I have less than two weeks to finish up classes (including, oh holy cow, three short papers, one 8-9 page paper, and one HUGE final project), and then one more week to finish a longer (15-page) paper. Then I get to spend six days in Florida with my favorite person in the world, after which I have a week to pack up everything I own, and then I graduate. Then I move to Boston until the end of the year, at which point I'll be moving to Pittsburgh to start work.

I'm so excited about all of this. I'm just a little overwhelmed by the amount of work I have to do in the next couple of weeks. It's actually all interesting work, it's just a test of my endurance. I decided to set up my schedule this semester so I wouldn't have any exams, which is fantastic (and means I get to spend exam time on the beach). The flip side is that nearly everything I need to do is due before exams, so my schedule's that much more compressed. But I think it will be worth it.

And I'm already dreaming of summer in Boston, and fall, and everything that comes after that.
