May the Countdown to Summer Begin!

There's this band I used to listen to all the time called Brand New. I love their lyrics. They have this great song called "i will play my game beneath the spin light" full of great little quips, and one popped into my head this evening.

"i need the smell of summer; i need its noises in my ears"

It seems particularly appropriate. Right now, standing between me at a few months of sunshine and endless reading [for fun! the best kind] are the following notches on my to-do list:

1. turn in finalized art education paper
2. linguistics quiz and class
3. history presentation
4. linguistics final
5. hebrew final
6. history final

While it's still a lot to do, it's only six items. Lately I've been feeling like the list is 32857329821 items long, so it's nice to see that it's been condensed to six major things to do. Sure, there are other things to get done, like going away gatherings, tours to give, the apartment to clean, clothes to pack....whatever, that stuff will be fun. I can't believe it's already June first! I feel like it was just a few short weeks ago that I was getting ready to move into the apt and prepare for the high holy days...and here we are again! Almost summer!

Now, some of you might not know this (the blog is new, I haven't really actually shared much about myself just yet) but I am a HUGE Harry Potter fan. My friend sent me the link to this video earlier; it's of the stars of the movie getting a sneak peak of the theme park! I absolutely cannot wait to visit the Wizarding World of Harry Potter. Bah!!!

Quickly before I go finish up some work before bed, here are some snapshots into the last couple of days.

The Meshuganotes gathered for an end-of-the-year bbq at Jaclyn's gorgeous home

I got to see Conan O'Brien (realized I never put up pictures from that, fail)

I did some exploring of North Campus

OKAY! That's it for now! Hasta la vista.
