Months....Days....And Counting!

It's been quite a while since I have posted on here. I hope you were all able to check out the London Blog while I was there. If not, it is uberthrill.blogspot.com It will take you through our wonderful experience of London.

Traveling in London was the most fun I have had in a long time. Spending time with family, touring the world and seeing all the wonderful things we saw is something I won't forget for a long time. I really want to thank Jeremy and D'one for allowing us to stay at their place and make the trip so exciting. Also, thanks to Mackenzie for allowing me to play with her, her toys, and spend time with her. She's such a joy!! It was a great time!!

So...the exciting news??

SEMESTER AT SEA is TRULY happening!! I can't believe I'm saying this but I was accepted for a work study position that will help pay for my trip. Also, I was awarded $1000.00 grant. This is so beneficial to my cost to go on this trip. Tomorrow I will booking my classes and will inform all of you how that goes and what classes I sign up for.

Many of you have asked for my itinerary so here it is:

• Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada
• Cadiz, Spain
• Civitavecchia / Naples, Italy
• Dubrovnik, Croatia
• Piraeus (Athens), Greece
• Istanbul, Turkey
• Varna, Bulgaria
• Alexandria (Cairo), Egypt
• Casablanca, Morocco
• Norfolk, VA, USA

Also, you have been asking about what I will be doing while I'm ported. I will also sign up for these tomorrow so I will inform you more then. I can't wait to get all this going. Thank you for all of your support and love!!

Tonight is Chi Omega's Formal. I am going with my friend Evan. He is Sigma Alpha Epsilon (SAE) a men's fraternity on campus. It should be a great time. It is currently snowing here and blizzarding in other parts of the state. I'm hoping it stops soon so we don't get all wet and cold while going to the dance. I'm very excited that Evan is my date. He's a really funny, sweet, crazy guy so it should be a great time!

I was asked by my good friend Coley to be Maid-of-Honor in her wedding. I am very excited for this! Her wedding will be July 31, 2010 in Rockford Illinois. It should be a great time. She is marrying a SAE, so it should be a bunch of friends getting together in Illinois!

Nothing else is new or exciting. School is done is six weeks and I will be done with Brookings! Hard to believe that I'm already a senior. I would have never thought I'd be finishing. I will take the PRAXIS test on April 25 in Brookings. This will determine if I'm smart enough to go on and student teach. I have one opportunity to take it because the first test was while I was in London and the third test is while I'm doing semster at sea!

I better start getting ready for the dance!

Talk soon!
