Wow, April has come and gone so fast!
It has been over a month now since I have been accepted for the World Race in January, and I’ve only blogged two times since then. Time to do a little update:
Since April 1st (World Race stuff):
- I completed my first fundraiser of selling t-shirts and raised over $250! WOW!
- I now have just over $500 in my WR account.
- Sent out over 50 support letters to friends and family.
- Began researching equipment I need (registry soon to come!)
- Had my first online meet-up with some of my squad mates.
- Met two other racers from Southern Miss who are planning on embarking in September/August! It’s so nice to have others who are going through the same things you are.
- Debating on changing my route to July 2016 (waiting on routes to be released, more info to come on this)
- Finally met with my mentor – she’s awesome.
- Thought about many blog post topics, didn’t actually write any.
The last few weeks (personal life):
- I am now in my LAST FINALS WEEK. Can it be over yet?
- Had my last “day on the job” at both Crescent City Grill and Jump’In Gymnastics.
- Watched my best friend get baptized last Sunday.
- Began packing up my home in Mississippi to move back to Ohio in a few days.
- Hung up my Eno whenever I got the chance.
- Sent in the last of my paperwork for my internship starting May 18th.
- Meeting up with friends, some this will be the last time I will see them… ):
- Trying to enjoy my last few weeks living in the South without school getting in the way.
Whats in store for May:
- Like I mentioned earlier, starting my Kinesiotherapy internship May 18th!
- Moving back home to Ohio in less than a week.
- Reuniting with friends from home!
- Time to get some more fundraising planned (be on the look-out for a Yard Sale!)
- Job hunting.
Seeing April just flash before my eyes makes me realize that before I know it I will be boarding a plane for the World Race! I have so much more to do and plan before that all happens. As soon as my finals are over, its no longer school-mode… I will be full time World Race-mode! Saving money, fundraising, and shopping for supplies will be all I will be able to think about!
Until then, wish me luck with finals!
