Still in Newfoundland,Re-energizing for the Fall

With just one week left at home and just over a week until school starts Tom and I have been busy gearing up for the coming (insanely hectic) year and spending as much time as we can enjoying our friends and family.
Last weekend we disappeared from the internet for a while when we headed into St. John’s and took Katelyn along for the ride. Though our trip was brief and spurred by an unfortunate situation, we made the most of it using the drive in to work on our wedding playlist, spending our day and a half there connecting with friends, and exploring some new podcasts on the way home. We were also able to have a quick visit with some of my family and my sis and I relived our childhood a little.
During this past week I’ve been doing some of the interviews that will provide the main data for my thesis research. It’s exciting and overwhelming all at the same time. The project that I want to do is far bigger than what I have time and resources for. I also don’t have a supervisor for next year yet so it’s been hard to get any feedback as to where I should make the cuts. I’ve also been doing a lot of thinking about what I want to do next year. With both of us graduating next Spring our options are wide open again, though I’m not sure I’m ready for another big move to start another new program.
But, on a lighter note, some of our friends who have been living in St. John’s are home this week and we’ve gotten to spend some time with them. I cooked supper for a set of couple friends one night which was nice because I haven’t really done any cooking since I’ve been home, we went to the Backlot for open mic one night, and then yesterday we ventured to the Insectarium which was cool/”ewww bugs.” Tom has taken loads of pictures, so I’m sure they’ll be up on the Flickr soon.
Spending so much time with great people has been the best part of my time home. I have laughed more in this past month than I did all of the past semester. I’m glad that we will be home more often this year than we were last, and am starting to get really excited for the wedding when we’ll be able to be surrounded by tons of people that we love.
