Almost There

Folks, we are in the final stages of the semester. I've completed all my tasks, checklist items, editing (well, that's an ongoing process until the very end), reflection essays, and beyond. All that's left is presenting my portfolio via conference call (and getting my grades). I'm not sure when I get to schedule my presentation but the potential presentation dates are May 6th, 8th, or 9th. So, things are certainly winding down. Last weekend was my first weekend of freedom in forever. I took Friday off and spent the day with my friend Barbara and had lunch with my mother-in-law. I also got a pain-free pedi. On Saturday I went outlet shopping with my mom and bought so many pretty things. On Sunday I got a ton of stuff done at the house. It felt so liberating to do something other than school work. And I'm not stopping there. I'm going to see Sister Act at the Fox with mom on Saturday and my sister and I will try to see Spank! The Fifty Shades Parody in May.

I'm going with my family to visit my dad's relatives in Virginia in May as well. I'm also reading like crazy. I finished An Abundance of Katherine's and Ashes. I started the Ashes sequel, Shadows, today. I just looked on Amazon for the next book in the Last Apprentice series and it won't be out until September but guess what?!!?!? The movie version (I'm assuming of the first book) will be out in October! How did I not know about this? It's called The Seventh Son and has Jeff Bridges and Julianne Moore with Ben Barnes as Tom. So excited!
