Unofficially Summer

Summer is right around the corner. Right around. Basically, take one more step and BOOM there it is! Granted, it's April. And I have one more paper to write. And this weekend, I'm actually going to an Easter party. But the end of school means summer. Even if it comes in April. Which I'm really okay with. I am totally on board with an early summer.

This is the part of the post where I should be describing all the completely wonderful things I'm doing this summer. Except, oh, wait, nope. Nothing completely wonderful going on here. This is going to be a very VERY low-key summer. As in, the most exciting thing I have planned is chilling at home with Emily and James while the rest of the family is on trek (I wouldn't have it any other way though - trek was cool and all, but once is quite enough for me).

Hold the phone. There is an exciting thing. And it's called a book club. Yep. A book club! Because being nerdy is fun! I am a member (one of the two) of the Story of My Life Book Club. Feel free to be jealous. This is nerdy (exceptionally nerdy), but I am actually legitimately excited about this. We are reading: Boy in the Striped Pajamas by John Boyne, Les Miserables by Victor Hugo, Little Dorit by Charles Dickens, The Book Thief by Markus Zusak, The Count of Monte Cristo by Alexandre Dumas, and Emma by Jane Austen. Oh baby, I am so excited!

There may actually be two exciting things, as it turns out. I'm hoping to make it down to Cedar City for the Shakespearean Festival. I am DYING to see Les Miserables (isn't it nice that I'm reading that this summer too? I totally planned it that way). I'd also like to see Hamlet, but that one isn't showing until September. So maybe it will be a fall trip instead of a summer one.

So other than that, it will be a summer of chilling at home and working. Party on!

It is almost kind of un[OFFICIALLY] summer!
