One Week to Go

There is officially only one week left of school and it certainly evokes a bunch of different feelings within me. Half of me is extremely excited to begin my summer and the other half of me will miss Manhattanville and the friends that I have made here. Summer is tough because you do not get a chance to see the same people that you have been used to seeing on a daily basis for months. I have been very used to eating my three meals with the same bunch of friends and sharing our funny mishaps that occur throughout the week.

Being home for the summer definitely has its perks. Sleeping in my own bed, and plunging into the full refrigerator every 5 minutes are enticing thoughts. Life at home is much more relaxing on the mind and it helps me to escape the drama that occurs every 2 seconds here on this small campus. Living on such a small campus creates many problems and certainly MANY rumors.

While on campus, I have finalized some plans that I had lingering for the summer. I booked my European vacation to Italy for 2 weeks in June, and found myself a little job coaching soccer to young children. I hope that throughout the summer I can find more of a full time job coaching because that id what I truly love to do. I also decided to play with my PDL soccer team, the Westchester Flames. This Semi-Pro team does much traveling on the East Coast and gives me a chance to visit some states that I would not normally visit.

With one week left to go before my summer begins, I have to make sure that all of my final exams go smoothly and that all of my lingering assignments are completed. I also have to make sure that everything is moved out of my room, a seemingly never-ending task! Being a part of the soccer team, I have to make sure that the off season assignments are picked up and followed through out the summer.

Junior year of college has been a special experience for me thus far, but it was not easy. I think that it has been the most stressful year so far, so maybe some really cold Iced Tea by the beach will do me some good! I know that once I drop the last bag off in my room at home, and take a good look around and see how neat and quiet it is, I will miss the 5 roommates that I have at school. Most people think that I am crazy for feeling this way but I enjoy being around people. Silence to me is a killer and it makes me think too much!
