Summer is finally here and I am so excited. I have gotten through all the final assignments, all the packing and cleaning is over, and I am home. I am looking forward to being back in Tampa for a few months and hanging out with my family and friends. I haven't seen any of my friends back home in such a long time, and time with them is so needed.

I will be taking three classes over the summer but I am hoping that they will be easier classes and less stress than what the spring semester has been. It will be so nice to be able to work and get back to nannying and hanging out with my favorite kids. This year has been so chaotic, and I am so in need of a vacation. My roommate is graduating this semester, and I am so excited to be a part of her graduation and be able to celebrate her. It is so sad that she will not be here next year, but I am so excited to see what God does with her life.

I know that He has a great plan for her, and I can't wait to continue to support her. We have made so many great memories this year that I will hold onto as I go into next year. We are planning on taking a trip to the beach with our group of friends after school ends, and it will be nice to all get to hang out without the stress of school weighing on us. It is important to get to spend time together before we all have to go our separate ways for the summer.

Most of my college friends live pretty far away so it won't be easy to see everyone, but I can't wait to rest up over the summer and come back next Fall ready to see them all again.
