Officially Graduating

Grades came out today, it's official, I can graduate!  With one last (maybe 2) track meet left and a walk across the stage, I'll move back home next week!  And with that, it'll be my last summer break.  The big thing I'm gearing up for is a 12 day trip to Europe with my friend Blair.  As of yesterday night, we have our flights to and from booked, and our flights and train tickets for country-to-country travel within the continent.  Tomorrow we tackle hotels!  I've been saving up for this for years, and it's finally going to happen.  The plan is to hit London, Zurich, Rome, Barcelona, and Paris.  It's going to be a quick, tiring trip, but hey, we don't have to run, so that means we don't really have to sleep! After the trip, I'll attend a friend's wedding and go be a counselor at running camp before work starts.  Even though I'll be a full-time employee come July, it'll be the first time in 8 years I'm not traveling for meets on the weekends and spending 3+ hours practicing a day.  I have triathlons lined up, festivals to go to, and weekend trips to see friends - and for once, it's all up to me!  It's going to be a great summer and transition to adult life, I just can't believe I'm already here.  I'm a college graduate (holy crap when did that happen?), I'm on my own in a matter of weeks (so far I'm hating all the paperwork that accompanies this fact), it's terrifying and exciting all at the same time.  Stay posted for more updates on the next month and most importantly, this is where I'll be posting while we're actually traveling!
