Holy smokes! Things have been busy finishing up this last semester at Auburn and starting to get ready to say goodbye to this place. The move is now less than 2 months away, and I am sans desk, dresser, and desk chair so far–thanks to Craig and his fancy li’l list! The realtor e-mailed us last week to let us know that they are renovating the apartment we will live in, and she wanted to know if we preferred upstairs or down, and if we wanted one with some hardwood floors…I thought that was thoughtful. Especially since there is still a chance that they took our deposit and ran away…but I don’t think that is the truth.

So, these are some of the things I have been busy doing:
1. The Counseling Psych program had a farewell party for me and my friend Tammy, since we are the two going off into the big internship world this summer. It was really fun, and the first time that I can remember that the whole program was all together. That was nice. Weird to think that I really might not see some of those folks again before we go…

2. Proposing my dissertation research. I am glad that is over.

3. Jaunting home to Phoenix to participate in the 25th Anniversary alumni concert for the Phoenix Children’s Chorus. I think my sister owes me–big time. But it was fun. Also involved in the day were a daytime and a night-time view of  the giant “Cactus Flower” art in downtown Phoenix, and a lady sunbathing–also in the middle of downtown Phoenix. I got to see my old friend Brian and swim in the pool and have a bean and egg and cheese burrito from Ramiro’s…TWICE! Not to mention, having a great time with my wonderful family.

Back in Auburn now. Making some plans for the last of the things I will do in the Southeast…lots of them with Wylie. Boating on the Nantahala is on the list, as is Dollywood, and a visit from my parents…sheesh! The next 6 weeks will be filled up!
