Emphasis on the crazy.
This morning I had my last final exam of the semester at 8am. I was done by 8:30. And so began my summer!!!! I have some pretty crazy plans for this summer, mainly, going to Italy. I'm leaving on May 31st (that's this month!!!) and I will be gone until July 16th. In the mean time, I've been making plans for what else I want to do, particularly what I want to read and what I want to knit.
I want to finish all of these books plus On the Road, Old Man and the Sea, La Sombra del Viento and maybe an Italian novel. Nine Hills to Nambonkaha, Festival for Three Thousand Maidens,
The Village of Waiting and Mango Elephants in the Sun are all memoirs written by return Peace Corps volunteers and To Touch the World is a collection of essays about the Peace Corps experience. I have a list of about 10 more books about the Peace Corps that I want to read at some point but I think I should read the book I have first. It might be a little unrealistic for me to get through all of these books this summer. It's a good thing I don't usually get too disappointed in myself for not meeting my goals.
I was going to make a list of all the things I want to knit this summer but that would probably end up being even more ridiculously long and impossible than my reading list. I do know that I want to knit The Old Man and the Sea cardigan by Mel of Single Handed Knits and I would like to knit through as much of the yarn that I already have as possible.
It also sounds like the ISA office on campus will be open for the summer so I will hopefully be working there a bit before and after I go to Italy.
This summer is just going to be full of fun things for me!
