Yesterday I have made a countdown calendar, and I have one month and 15 days until I go back to Portland. Because most of my friends from home are not currently in the Piedmont/Oakland/Berkeley area, I do not have a lot of people to hang out with, which makes me miss my college friends terribly. On the plus side, Amy gets back from NY today, so I'm going to call her this week and try to make a plan to have her stay with me for a few days in August. I'm really sad that she's not coming back to UP, so I really want to see her before I leave for school. Speaking of friends coming and leaving, I learned last week that my wonderful friend MacKenzie got her loan approved, which means she will be able to go back to Portland at least for next year. She's hoping to get a Providence scholarship that pays for her last two years at UP if she works at Providence Hospital (MacK's a nursing major) 3 years after graduation.
As far as travel goes, I have been busy packing and am very excited about my trip to Amsterdam. My mom and I have both never been and I'm particularly psyched to see Megan. She has been there for six months so far and I haven't seen her since January. Although I mentioned going to CT in my last blog, this is unfortunately not happening. I really want to see Cara and Caroline in one trip, and their busy schedules did not allow me to do so. Hopefully, I'll be able to see them next summer, or possibly winter or spring break. My bro and I are both off from work for a week in mid-August so my family might go somewhere.
I'm still enjoying my work at the camp, although it can be tiring (especially being outside in this hot weather!). Next Monday I start my home tutoring with Althea (she's also one of my campers). I will be working with her three days a week for a month for three hours in the morning. I'm so happy I'm doing something that will not only be fun, but also rewarding and an excellent experience for a psych major.
Next time you'll probably be hearing about my trip and seeing pictures of Amsterdam!
