Farewell, Dear Summer

So it seems that summer is coming to a close. I have but 3 days remaining. Here is what I hope to accomplish in the days remaining before the start of my graduate program on Monday:

-Work 5 hours

-Visit friends in Salt Lake City

-Fly to Arizona

-Go garage sale-ing (Kris and Nor, are you with me?!)

-Have bonding time with my niece

-Attend Kristi's missionary farewell

-Get a father's blessing

-Do homework

-Sleep on a cot

-Inherit clothes from my future missionaries

-Write a letter

-Organize finances

-Climb a tree

I feel like I should also find some sort of rite of passage-y activity for my last night before becoming a graduate student. I feel like there needs to be something representing "higher" and something representing "education" involved. Maybe I'll...um...read The Berenstain Bears Go to School from atop the chicken coop. I'll keep brainstorming.

And on an unrelated note, I'm super-excited to now be housing a friend's piano in my house. And I'm excited that my friend/coworker Sarah is finally back from Romania. Life is good.
