IKEA!

And so school is over.
My classes were AMAZING this quarter, and it's sad to not have lectures for them anymore. I'll be taking classes by the some of the same teachers in the future,.... but those classes will be more difficult.... and i hate to be intellectually challenged.

It's been a little unfortunate that i've been so tired these last few days. i only just woke up. It's noon on the Saturday before my finals (which are on monday, tuesday, wednesday), so that probably wasn't the best decision my body could have made.

Well, I'll just be studying really hard these next two days, that's all. Easier said than done. Naw, I'm pretty good about studying... lately it's just been a matter of finding the time in my life to do as much as i'd like. man, i can't wait until next year. i'm cutting a few activities out of my life, so i'm going to have the chance to do what i really want to do.

I was thinking yesterday, how this is going to be the best summer ever. I'm going up to Canada with my mom and dad for a week-and-a-half, and then i'm moving into a sublet (which is wonderful) with Justin .
:-)

And the best part of the whole sublet thing is that i get to go shopping at Ikea. yay! i love that place. I need to buy a bed and a mattress, along with sheets, comforter, etc. and cups, plates....yay! I always wanted to do this.

Also, i'll be working for professor Pires.... and hopefully be able to join her in her field studies. Right now, she's going up to Canada (jesus, i can never leave that place), so that would be easy to self-fund. However, she's been trying to get to the Congo... oh yes, the congo. Now, it's pretty expensive to go there, but i think i could pool a lot of my money together (especially from working over the summer) to go. Really though, i think the time committment would be really long. I'd have to see how long she'd be going for. The thing is, it's not so easy to leave. This is how she gets to he site (where she studies bats):

1.) Fly to Kanshasa
2.) Ride a bus for a day to a river-side village
3.) Ride a boat for a day
4.) Hike through the jungle for 6 days

voila! you're there!

it's also the fucking congo... aren't there militants there or something?


yeah, but in terms of the rest of my summer, i'll be auditting a few classes. spanish, french, molecular biology. Whatever, i can fit into my schedule.

love you all. hope to visit you/ hope you visit me at some point
