I've pretty much planned out the rest of 2008 in the month of April.

My week is officially over, sorta, after turning in a 15 page paper on Tuesday and taking a test today.

And among the bazillion million things going on and one full week of school left, I can't believe I've finally succeeded in planning out my entire summer and most of Senior year, and it's going to be absolutely fabulous.

Between now and summer workwise and otherwise, goes a little something like this:
This weekend...plans still up in the air....(I am so great at being last-minute), then a test next Thurs I don't need to worry too much about, and a 25 page paper, of which I have 20 pages written. thank. god. Plus lots of loose ends to tie up.
Then dead week and two finals to take, one on Friday, one on Tuesday, very nicely spaced.
Drive home to El Paso on Wednesday. I can't wait to see my family.
Start med school apps in the meantime (current target = the best five year MD/MPH program I can get).
Spend the weekend in Philly with my mom for my cousin's graduation from Penn.
Come back home for a week and then head to Atlanta, a city I pretty much know nothing about and nobody in. It's going to be great. I've secured a 1 bedroom apartment in a pretty nice neighborhood. I can't wait to meet all the other interns and get started at TCC. I also need a bike.
10 weeks in Atlanta, full-time interning, working on med school apps, and exploring as much of the city as I can (throwing in visits to Emory, the CDC, the Carters' hometown, FDR's warm springs, maybe Charleston or something? oh and the rents/brother are coming up for 4th of July weekend to go to Savannah, should be fun!).
Come home in early August, possible trip in the works, otherwise chill at home, and then head back to Austin mid-late August. Start Senior year.

And things for Senior year and looking absolutely fantastic as well, I have sooo much to look forward to. Everything is shaping up so nicely! It's hard to believe that just three weeks ago, I had no idea what the hell I'd be doing this summer or next semester. Today, it all looks SOLID.

Just gotta make it through these next few weeks!!
