Preparing for the Fall...


This summer has been a constant challenge of trying to motivate myself to complete research assignments, papers and readings for the fall. Before I leave Juneau I have to complete three in-depth research papers, prepare several presentations and journal to get ready for the experience. How can the professors expect me to stay inside and research/write when I live in such a gorgeous place?! But, I know it will all get done somehow... and I will be off for London on August 1st.
This summer has gone by way too fast. I got home on May 23rd, began working at the Waffle Co. the next Monday and then went to Rainbow Glacier Camp (in Haines, AK), to be a camp counselor for two weeks. The picture to the right is from the first week of camp with the elementary schoolers-- it was a blast! I just returned from camp and have exactly a month to complete all of my assignments, so I'm definitely feeling the stress.
I will be over in the UK until November 1st, and then return home to do some substitute teaching before Juneau Schools' Christmas Break. It should be an amazing fall, and a crazy one at that for my family, considering my sister will be in Africa as well! So, my prayers go to her and her safety. I will try and keep this blog updated as much as possible while I'm away... I know I will miss you all a ton!
In Christ's Love...
