I attended a conference above Charleston on the Gullah culture for my senior honors thesis this weekend, and it was held on a plantation that had been transformed into an abbey. It was the first "summer" day I had experienced, with temperatures in the high eighties or low nineties and the sun radiating from the sky, and the grounds and gardens were absolutely gorgeous. Words cannot describe it. But I put a handful of the pictures I took up on my Flickr, so take a look.
31. Complete a senior honors project I am proud of - in progress
The conference was my first big step into the research and development of my thesis, but I also received an e-mail from the Honors Program today that said I was officially approved. So there's that.
56. Exercise 2-3 times a week (3/143) - in progress
I won't lie, I did not exercise this past week. I barely had enough time to shower. I stayed on campus from 8 a.m. until 10 p.m. almost every day, and then I left for South Carolina at 5 p.m. Thursday and spent my weekend traveling. So this week was a failure there. I think if I have a 90% success rate, that would be commendable. That's like 129 weeks out of 143. I get 14 whole weeks off.
In other news, I was thisclose to Charleston this weekend! About 30 miles north. And, because I had to wake up at 5:30 a.m. to drive from Columbia to Monck's Corner, I technically woke up for a sunrise. But I'd rather enjoy the experience and not glance every ten minutes or so over my left shoulder out the driver's window and see the sunrise behind a row of trees as I drive on the highway. So I'll hold off on considering that accomplished too.
-Till next time
