As I brought up this window, I realized that I don't actually remember the last time I posted! Summer is, of course, slipping away as it always does. Somehow I'm always surprised by how quickly time flies - it sounds so cliché to say that but it's so true. I don't exactly feel like the start of summer was yesterday (I feel like I've been married for ages!) but I also feel like it should be me trekking up to the Great White North for the first time, not the incoming first years. How in the world did I make it to third year?!

My last week of work starts today. I think I will have completed pretty much all of the project I was set to work on this summer. Everything will be a rough draft (other people have to go over what I wrote, confirm it's all correct, make adjustments, etc etc) but every time my boss or supervisor mentions just how much help I've been by getting all this work done, I feel awesome. This group of people were like my family in undergrad, and they're like my family now. I'm really going to miss them. Need to figure out a card or a little gift to get them all to thank them for everything.

I leave for school in 11 days. Danny and I have the house to ourselves as my parents are out of town this week, which is like a vacation for us. Not that my parents are awful by any stretch, but being alone is peaceful and relaxing when so much else is happening or getting ready to happen. I need to make my to do list (and which point I will need to work on my to do list!) but it's a lot easier this time around. I don't feel nearly as stressed as I did that first (or even second) year - or at least not about the actual packing part. But I'm going to be leaving a lot behind and that always gives me pause. Fortunately, I've been able to visit my friends a lot more this summer as there's not a bunch of wedding stuff to get done.

Perhaps a bit of a jumbled post, but I feel a little jumbled right now. Not quite ready to leave but not much left time to stay - these last few weeks of August are always a weird limbo.
