Wasting away the summer days..

Hey everyone! I hope everyone is enjoying the beginning of their summers, the end of their finals, and all the other good times that come around at this point of the year.

Needless to say (as proven by the lack of updates) I have been surprisingly busy since I have come home from London, which is not what I expected at all. My first few days home consisted of lots of sleep, unpacking, and spending time with family and friends that I had not seen in over 4 months! After a week of self-control, I convinced my mom that I was OK to run off to spend some time at Lehigh before all my friends started in with their finals. I had sooo much fun catching up with the girls and all my other friends, and in a sense it felt as though I had never really left Lehigh, but through all the stories (both my friends and mine) I realized that it was great to get out there and try something new.

After I stopped distracting my friends from their studies, I got busy looking for a place to live in Philly for the upcoming summer months as I prepared to begin my internship with KPMG. Ever since I arrived back home, I have felt like this start date was so far away, but now there's only 8 days left and I am more than ready to hit the ground running! I am excited to try living in another new city, trying new tasks in an accouning setting, and getting to know my fellow interns. Updates will follow after I start!

Other than that, I have been planning some fun trips for the summer season. After only 2 weeks at home, my mom, sister, aunt, cousin and I travelled down to Disneyworld for our first "girl's" vacation. I'll control the little kid in me by saying simply...IT WAS AWESOME! Although I have been to Disneyworld when I was much younger, I did not remember hardly any of the rides/attractions/scenery, so it was almost as if this was my first trip. We rode all the rides (Space Mountain, Splash Mountain, Aerosmith's Rocking Roller Coaster, and the Buzz Light Year Adventure rides were just a few of my favorites), managed to snag a picture with both Alice in Wonderland and Snow White, and dine at a few of the "countries" in Epcot's World Showcase. Needless to say, it's taking a lot of self-control to not already be planning an immediate return trip. Also on tap for the summer: dave matthews band concerts, trips to the shore, Iron Pigs and Phillies baseball games, and more! I'm open to suggestions, so any ideas for fun trips and travels, send them my way!

Have a great start to summer 2010 everyone! I'll post again soon!
