The end is near! It is on the horizon.
No, I'm not talking about the world (who knows? maybe in December) I'm talking about my first year of grad school. Holy balls it can't come soon enough. Speaking of the end of the world though, was anyone else a little relieved when that heat wave let up a bit? I'm sorry but 85 degrees in March just screams tidal waves of water washing out the coasts and the sun so hot people begin just melting. That's kind of how I imagine the world coming to an end. The coasts get washed away and every one else either burns to death from the heat of the sun or gets eaten by polar bears that travel further South to find food. I'm no scientist so I may want to do some research on that whole scenario. Al Gore, you got anything? NPR isn't helping because they just keep informing me that these shifts in weather are unprecedented or there are strange weather trends this time of year.
Anyway....this week was boring. Except for today but I'll get to that later, I bet you can't wait! Don't read ahead that just negates my ability to make you wait (by you I mean the 5 people that read this). Classes, internship, blah blah. I've gotten everything organized for my last few assignments that are sprinkled out over the next three weeks. Most or them are fairly large assignments so I feel a little better about getting a jump on them. I will no doubt still be working on them at 1 a.m. the night before but it will be with a little less rabid intensity than if I were ill-prepared. I even finished a paper 2 days early and turned it in so I wouldn't need to work on it today. Does that mean I spent Friday night and Saturday night working on a paper? Yes, yes it does. I didn't do anything remotely cool or interesting unless you count watching Pretty Woman with my sister's dog and making remarks about Julia Robert's eyebrows aloud...to a dog...Dear God I need a life.
There are interesting things in the works regarding a new residence but I have to be patient. I am super excited about looking for place to live though. I'm also stoked that I have a job interview and a placement interview coming up within the next two weeks. Woot!
Today J and I decided to meet for an Easter picnic in Cave City, KY. This is the halfway point between Nashville and Louisville. It is also the home of Dinosaur World and the exit to get to Mammoth Caves National Park. We met at Dino World and wanted to picnic under the T-Rex but they were open so that idea was quashed. We then decided to head to Mammoth Caves to find a park to picnic at instead. We ended up at the Green River Ferry and decided to have it there. After eating and worrying about tics and lyme disease we got in the car and decided to drive, nowhere in particular we just really wanted to cross that crazy river ferry. So we drove, and drove until we finally happened upon a sign for a lake and State park. That sounded great! What the sign didn't tell us was that the lake was MILES away and it was man made and crazy looking. We made jokes that the signs for the lake were put up by locals to funnel tourists to a secluded area and cannibalize them. He had me laughing so hard I started crying. It was basically the German story of the old hag and the house made of candy. Seriously worst lake ever. Now I know growing up with the Great Lakes I've grown accustomed to Greatness but this was not even good. After wandering around the trails for a bit be continued the adventures with visiting random gift shops and hanging at a weird local restaurant to play nerdy board games. We ended the day with taking the Volvo up the side of Gun Mountain. That was mildly scary but the view was pretty cool. My boyfriend is phenomenal. Just sayin'.
Well I'm gearing up for some serious work over the next few weeks and then hopefully some work that pays. We shall see.
Hope everyone has a wonderful week.
