I know it's so soon to be writing about this. I mean, it's only March. And summer starts in MAY! Some huge plans are in the process right now, and my life is going to be crazy pretty soon. This next weekend is my boyfriend's birthday, so that's what's been on my mind lately. But I want to let you in on some really really REALLY big events this summer in my life.
SCOTLAND:
In May, I will be traveling with a small group from the College of Education to Scotland to complete our Pre-Student Teaching. We have been having classes together for the semester and getting to know each other much better. We will be there for a good while, and I'm really looking forward to it! While over in Europe, we all will be going also to Ireland and England - mainly London. I can't wait to see what it's like on that side of the ocean! I especially want to go see what Harrod's looks like in person. (For those of you that are confused, it's a giant department store, really. But monstrously huge.) It's going to be such an amazing experience!
After Scotland I'll come home for a short time, and then get on board another plane. This time I'll be going to my most favorite country (other than the USA, of course) in the whole world.
DOMINICA:
This little island in the Caribbean has been my summer location for the past 3 summers. I started traveling there in 2008 and have gone every summer since then. People there have touched my life in such a meaningful way, and my boyfriend is a native Dominican. I'm very excited to go back again to enjoy the food, clean air, and beautiful beaches once more. I'm sure people are sick of me talking about Dominica, but I can't even explain how much it has influenced me and touched my soul. If you ever want to go to the Caribbean, try to go to Dominica. You won't regret it. Oh, and bring me along with you. I can be your tour guide!
Overall, this summer is coming too slowly. Other things that will happen are: two of my good friends are getting married! I only get to go to one of their weddings, but I'm so happy for them! My brother will be turning 17. WEIRD! And I'll be that much closer to my last year here at HU. Can't believe how fast time flies. I remember my first year here thinking it will never end. And now I'm in my third year...Crazy.
Take care!
