This Summer

Great news - officially! I got another internship at IBM for this summer. It's with a different group, and I'm excited to have exposure to a different product...and continue to have IBM on my resume. I start 5/11...woohoo! Is it sad that I'm *most* excited to have the week before I start completely OFF? No work, no school... nothing.

And also, I'm about 1 week from being done with this semester, which is pretty awesome. I will have one more full time semester this fall and then my last class next spring. Next year at this time, I'll be Master Jamie (or nearly...) Very exciting indeed.

As usual, I have totally fallen off of reading during the semester, with so much school reading, working, moving, ETC... but all that will change this summer. You'll be glad to know I spent a good portion of last night's class composing a summer reading list:

1. Memoirs of a Geisha (reread, it's our JUNE book club book)
2. Revolutionary Road (JULY Book Club book)
3. The Reader
4. Pillars of the Earth (gulp...it's a big one...)
5. Grapes of Wrath (Kel got me thinking about this one... hopefully it's not too rough)
6. American Wife (I'm reading it right now actually, totally jumping the gun on the end of the semester... oh well)
7. Bridge of Sighs
8. Year of Magical Thinking - Joan Didion

... and I'm sure some more. Any other suggestions would be fab... woohoo!

Hey Master Bath...

Enjoy your last day w/ wallpaper, bc after this weekend, it'll be GONE! :) That is what we'll be doing this weekend, taking down this monstrosity. Wish us luck...



And though I don't know if it's fair, I think this wallpaper is making me hate the entire concept of wallpaper... And I've only spent about an hour taking down a small portion of this bathroom already.
