Summer!

Jason and I are done with Spring term, so we finally get to start our summer! Jason actually finished last week, because his teachers are cool like that. I finished my last final exam on Thursday morning. I am so excited to be done with Music 301. That class I have dreaded for years. After watching so many other people suffer through that ridiculous class and then suffering through it myself, I'm so glad to be done with it. It wasn't absolutely horrible. I actually really enjoyed the lectures and thought I had a great professor. I just think the class in general is a little too much. It is useful and good, but it is a TON of material and it's kind of hard to relate to, listen to, learn and enjoy music from 800-1600 AD. Our final exam was comprehensive and was 50% of our grade. Not only did it cover 800 years of history, but we had over 60 music examples that we had to know in great detail. Anyway, enough of my ranting.

It is so nice to just relax and enjoy the summer. Jason and I will start working full-time on Monday, and I was so glad I was able to get the shift I want (8:00-5:00, like Jason) instead of 10:00-7:00 like I feared. Not only that, but we're extremely slow. Most of the high school graduations are over so instead of having 20-40 calls on hold, we each only get calls every 4 minutes or so. It's great. A little boring at times, but great. I still have to finish American Heritage, so it will be good having so much time to work on it.

Jason and I get to go to Texas soon!!! I'm so excited! I haven't been back since our wedding last year. It will be weird going "home" to a different house, but I guess both of my sisters went through that as well. I can't wait to see my parents, Andrea, Ryan, the kids, and Margaret! It's been too long. While we're there, we're going down to San Antonio with my parents. Jason's never been, and I love it there. I can't wait!

Don't you hate how, once you're an adult, "summer vacation" actually means "a break from school work so you can do other work"?
It's a cruel trick.
