Changes

School will be over in less than a week. I had my last class yesterday evening. We went over what the final will be, and then had a little party. It was like the last day of third grade!!! :-( I have made some friends in my program by the end of my second semester there, and I will miss them over the summer. Summer can be a long time.

With that change comes another one: work. I told Derek I would try to get another job for the summer on top of my office job that I work at on campus for 20 hours a week. I thought about applying to a bunch of places, but now I'm thinking I might do either a "work-at-home" job or a "secret shopper" job. I know, I'm a dork. Well, we'll see if that works out.

Also, we are moving at the end of the month. Our lease is up at good 'ole Songbird Apartments, so we have decided to upgrade to a 2-bedroom, 1 bath with free cable! Also, our new apartment is a lot closer to UTSA, so I will have even less of a drive now to get to work or school. Score! I'm excited about the move.

My exercise program is coming along pretty well. I try to either do 30 minutes of walking on the treadmill/cycling or Pilates everyday, and I think it is starting to pay off. I have been doing a lot better on what I eat as well, although I mess up every so often. Hey, I'm not perfect! I was watching Oprah the other day, and she had a doctor on there that said you need to eat these five things every week: olive oil, garlic, tomatoes, and...two other things that I have now forgotten...dang it! He also said that pomegranates are good for you...I'll have to check those out sometime. So basically, eat like an Italian and you'll live forever.

June 6-June 13 I will be flying to Mexico City and staying there with some other students and a few professors to do some research in the National Archives. I'm excited about that as well. To practice our Spanish, a few of us are going to start meeting together this month and watch Latin American films, then hang out and practice on each other. One of the girls going is from Mexico, so she will be able to help us a lot.

I guess that is all for now. My friend Jessica Skidmore from Abilene is coming to visit this weekend, along with some of her friends, so we will be hosting several girls in our apartment. I need to clean! Yikes...

On that note, I believe I will say adieu. Have a great week everyone!
