Caitlin & Derick: Schools out for the summer!

Summer Vacation.
Those two words are always my favorite.
I am so relieved that this past semester is finished! It was a good one, but it was definitely my most stressful one so far. I was taking harder classes, and working more hours than any of my past semesters. And I was a little distracted since the boy came home from his mission a week and a half before the semester started! It always came down to two options:
A. studying
or
B. Hanging out with Derick
Believe it or not I almost always chose B. But sometimes I would get lucky and get to study while spending time with him since we both had a class together. Luckily, I passed all my classes. I even managed to swing two A's. I guess I wasn't as distracted as I thought.
I realize I must have been into this semester pretty deep because I have never experienced a weirder feeling than when I was asked what I was doing tonight. My typical response for when asked what I was doing on a thursday night would be "oh, working, and I have an SI session right after that, maybe I'll be lucky and get to hang out with Derick for half an hour, and then I have to go home to study, and then I have to go to bed because I have school really early in the morning." But today my response was "....I... don't know!" I loved the feeling of having no plans, and no set schedule. I could choose who I wanted to hang out with, how long I wanted to hang out with them, and what I wanted to do. With no worries of forgotten homework assignments. This summer comes with a freedom I have never felt before and I love it. :)
I have been on summer vacation for a little over 24 hours now, and I must admit.. It has been a great 24 hours! I can't wait to see what this summer has to offer me.

I feel like these past 4 months went by in kind of a blur, so I would like to reminise a little.
