Summeresolutions

Yes, I've made that into one word: Summeresolutions.

And I've got some. This is my summer before nursing school, after all. (Getting used to the fact that I am going to nursing school in August is this amazing, beautiful addition to my life. Me - a nursing student! Yes! Talk about working toward something... two years of science classes! I'm so happy!)

Here are my resolutions for this summer:

1. Run. I plan to sign up for the Fleet Feet Women's 10K -- it's a great run and B always comes along to watch the start. Because I'm so athletic, and because he likes to sight-see at this very womanly run. I'm really excited to do some running at my new park - Winnemac, just a few blocks away with windy paths, a track and a prairie-type area.
   
2. Enjoy Chicago like crazy. Fests, walks, the Brandi Carlile concert at Millennium Park this week, and even a picnic at Promontory Point!
3. Cook! Tomorrow is our first produce pick-up and I'm excited to use our goods for good stuff.
4. Math. Yes, I'm taking a stats class this summer, as long as I rock out my placement exam tomorrow or manage to sweet talk someone into letting me in.
   
5. Make our new place excellent. We've got houseguests coming mid-June so that gives me a good deadline for making this place un-crazy. We're getting boxes unpacked, stuff stored in our space and do a little beautifying. It wouldn't hurt for us to pretty up our lives a little -- an Ikea run and some art-posting are on the agenda too. Yikes!
6. Work. I'm working this summer to save up some extra dough for when I'm in school. Additionally I'm going to sign up for the Y's 100 Days of Summer to earn a few Y-prizes and work out in the air-conditioning as needed. Hooray.

That sounds like enough... back to studying math for me!

I will keep our standards reasonable and use the Hearst Castle as inspiration for my new apartment. :)
