Ramblings of a Restless, Wandering Girl

Sunshiny Florida etc etc

Has it not been since forever that I posted? Wow. I'm so neglectful. Lots has happened too. First of all, I wrote my very last UBC exam on April 25th. It was so strange after doing so. The campus looked so different as a part of me, the student part, began to slowly slip away. I was too tired and relieved to be either emotional, sentimental, or excited at the time. It had been a rough semester regarding motivation. I feel like I had done less work than ever before yet in God's grace I also had the most academically successful year of my degree. So now, I have a BSc in microbi under my belt. But don't quiz me, I have already forgotton 70% of what I have learned.
I was on Florida for vacation with my family for two weeks. We got back a week ago. It was, um, fun. It was challenging and sometimes stretching as well. I love my family, but you know how family vacations are. There was tension, especially because the package deal we had been told about over the phone and seen on video were quite different from the real life version. I can't even begin to count the number of disgruntled people we met that had the same package and were more than ffrusturated. I won't go into details, and for the most part, we made the best and it all worked out, but please please never do a Ramada package deal. I was humbled by the experience however. Okay, not to complain too much, it was overall good, especially for my sis and I, who got along really well. We were in Ft Lauderdale on the beach for 5 days, then we took a 3 day 2 nite cruise to the Bahamas. This was definitely the highlight. I could have gotten used to being wined and dined like that....and the beach we went to, the Blue Lagoon (Splash, Rtn to Blue Lagoon, and Gilligan's Island filmed here), was amazing. My mom swam with dolphins, her life dream, and it was just gorgeous. Then back to Orlando for Disney World and Universal studios. Please never go to Epcot center for Dis Wld unless you are or want to be on a field trip. Orlando was an expensive place. But it was good times.
Now I am back to the real world at home where work and fundraising and cleaning my messy basement take up my minutes. I am excited to get back to planning for the Orient though, and happy to see friends again. I am especially glad to get back to Church and Sunday school there. And back to Bubble tea and decent sushi! Anyways, time for bed. I wonder if anyone will read this or if they will just have given up on me. I need to read all your guys' blogs soon. Its been such a while.....
