The Final Weeks in the US

So the summer's almost finished..it's gone by so fast. Well since my last post I went to Texas and had a great time with my family. I got to go to my god brother's wedding which was beautiful. Such a perfect day besides the heat. I forgot how hot it could get in TX. After my TX trip I haven't really been doing much. I've been going to Clearwater Beach most weekends with my boyfriend and sometimes his family and just hanging out. I guess I should relax while I can, since once school starts i'm going to be very busy.

I also started to run. I am so not a runner, but for almost 3 wks I've been running(well jogging lol) everyday. If it is raining I'll have to do the elliptical instead, but I am starting to get used to it being my daily routine. I only go out for about 30 mins sometimes more. This past week I was able to jog about 42 mins without stopping! For me that was amazing even though I only ran a little over 3 miles. I'm hoping to get my time for 3 miles (which is ~5K) to be 30mins which is about average for runners. I am hoping to keep up the running once I move to Edinburgh as well. Maybe I will find a running buddy, and we can run around Holyrood Park! That'd be great.

On the subject of the big move, I have a little over 3wks left before I move. My mom is going to fly with me and help me find a flat and get settled. I haven't gotten my plane ticket yet, but I'm planning on leaving Sept. 5th. I also haven't finished my Visa yet. I am waiting on my transcripts from UF to come in...hopefully today. Once I get that then I can send out my application. It's such a stressful process, but I should get it easily. I am more worried about my boyfriend getting his Visa, but hopefully the Visa people will be nice and not give us any problems. I also have been obsessively looking up flats in Edinburgh. I know I shouldn't be looking now since the flats most likely will be taken by the time I get there, but I can't help it. Plus I like seeing the different apartments and hoping I can get a nice one for cheap.

Ok well I have to go check the mail! Hopefully I'll get that transcript lol. oh yeah I also forgot to tell you guys I got a stethoscope! I am very excited and have been trying to use it on my cat, but he's not cooperating since he keeps purring. I'll have to catch him off guard one day lol.
