In The Summertime Dee Dee Dah Dah Dah

So I might have neglected my blog for 5 months, but I am not overly concerned because there are probably only two people that noticed. But in my defense, grad school is an all-consuming institution bent on producing academic zombies. Someone added this to the "Grad Students Aren't Bad People, They Just Made Terrible Life Choices" group on Facebook:

It's a good thing that I love archaeology so much. One year down, two to go!

So here is a little update on my plans for this glorious summer:

• I'm going to EGYPT. Ashley, Lani, and I decided that we needed to take a vacation this summer, so naturally we picked Egypt. I am now a very poor woman, but it's totally worth it. I am so excited for: pyramids, mummies (by far the most exciting), the Cairo Museum, felucas on the Nile and ancient temples! Not so excited for: Arabic, Egyptian cuisine, gastrointestinal effects of Egyptian cuisine, being a girl in the Middle East. We also have a day-long layover in Amsterdam on the way to Cairo so we will be doing a little sight seeing there as well!
• I'm MOVING. I know. It's a big deal. 6 years in the same apartment (aside from the dorms my freshman year and a term in the Foreign Language Housing). I'm getting just a bit too old for my student ward and I have decided the time has come for me to move in with the big kids. I have put a lot of heart and soul into my apartment so it will be hard to leave it. But with both Becky and Katelyn leaving, there's not a whole lot to keep me there. After Egypt, I will move into Ashley's (and now Leslie's!) ward. It is mostly grad students and "young professionals"(hah), so I ought to fit in quite nicely.
• Katelyn has decided to move back home this summer (sniff sniff) because she is going . . . on a MISSION! I can't believe she's already old enough. She will be turning in her papers shortly, so hopefully I will be able to announce where she's going within a month or so!

I will do my darndest to write more posts; now that I'm out of school, I can stomach the thought of writing again. Oh, and a nickle to anyone who knows the song that the title of this post came from.
