The Last Hurrah!

Still got that smile
even after an all-nighter! 

This Boy Meets World meme perfectly describes how I'm feeling right now. I just turned in my last final and it is such a relief to be done with another quarter at UCSD. I always get anxious towards the end of the quarter because things tend to pile up and it seems like there isn't enough time for everything. Somehow, things always turn out alright in the end. I'm glad that the endless studying, all-nighters, review sessions, and poor eating habits are finally over with. Time to switch gears and start focusing on my trip to Peru!

Yum! Milkshakes!

Last Friday my team had our final meeting before our flight to Peru. We all had dinner together at Studio Diner in San Diego. This cute restaurant served up large portions of American diner fare and fabulous milkshakes. Good times call for good food and company, and I remember laughing the whole night over the silliest things. Afterward, we gathered outside the restaurant to discuss airline logistics, transportation, and other important announcements. Perhaps it was the amount of information combined with the stress of finals that got me really anxious. I felt so overwhelmed and afraid for the rest of the week. Now that I'm finally finished with finals and have a day tomorrow to get all of my packing done, I feel more at ease. Aside from getting the major preparations, I think this extra day will allow me to mentally prepare for the trip. Gotta get in the mindset of a dedicated volunteer, you know? :)
