Summer, Oh Summer

Trying to make it through exam week. 

 It's finally summer!!! The last two weeks of school were crazyyyy. I was racing to get everything done in time, but somehow it all got done and I passed my sophomore review and life is good. My professors were so awesome and supportive - I couldn't have finished without their support. :)

Right at the end of the semester I decided to change my major to Music Ed. I had a lot of reasons for wanting to change, but mostly I just realized that teaching in a school is something I had never seriously considered before and when I did, it just made sense. There's more job security, it definitely won't keep me from having my own private piano studio someday, and to be honest, I think teaching in a classroom of young children would be really fun! Today I finally met up with my new advisor who helped me figure out a new degree plan and got my schedule all set for next semester. I'M SO EXCITED!!!! :D

Waiting to go have a drawing lesson in Hollywood Studios

The day after my last exam, Josh and I drove up to Disney to meet with my uncle, dad, and younger brother and sister. I was a little nervous about everyone meeting him for the first time, after we'd been dating for six months already, but it all went way better than I even hoped for. It wasn't even a little bit awkward and everyone had a good time. I'm looking forward to when he can meet the rest of my family.

Finally done after 3 days of moving, cleaning, and organizing.

I'm all moved into my apartment for the summer. I'm living on campus and it's pretty ghetto, to be honest, but it is relatively inexpensive and there are no mold issues, like there were in my other on-campus apartment. Plus, maintenance just installed a brand new medicine cabinet/mirror in the bathroom, which may very well be the nicest part of the whole place. I'm really happy because it's pretty clean and easy to keep clean. The only BIG downside to this arrangement is that I have to move into a different room in the same building at the end of June. Not excited about that. Something about maintenance and what-not. But in August I'm moving into off-campus housing!! It's going to be so great.

In other news, I've started working at Anthropologie and it is going really well so far. McDonald's feels a million miles away and for that, I am very grateful. I do miss Maria however. She's the best. I'm also looking into getting another part-time job at the Salvation Army or anywhere within biking distance really. I'm also working on catching up on my piano practicing and maybe doing a little reading this summer and watching Netflix, of course. :) Josh and I just started the Sherlock series, which is pretty great. ^_^

I think that's about it for my life right now... Hope you're having a great summer. :)
