Hi friends! I hope you all are enjoying your Sunday, and staying COOL! Personally, I’m enjoying the fact that I don’t have to go outside into the Virginia heat! I love summers in the South but I also love being able to retreat from the heat when I want to.
I just finished writing out my plans for July and August. It’s important that I am crystal clear about what I want to do and when I want to do it: if I’m not focused, I lose track of my time and find that nothing (or almost nothing) gets accomplished.
Here’s the short list of my July and August plans. These plans are in support of my goals (short term and long term) as well as give me interesting things to talk about on this blog.
July:
- Go to the Smithsonian Folklife Festival
- Check out the Contemporary Art from Portugal exhibition at Virginia Museum of Fine Arts
- Finish up my FutureLearn courses (Cultures and Identities in Europe and Inside Opera)
- Visit a museum I’ve never gone to before
- Successfully complete my fitness challenge
August
- Celebrate my birthday in grand style
- Attend an embassy event
- Visit a museum I’ve never gone to before
- Select courses to take in the fall
- Have some amazing giveaways on this blog (in honor of the blog’s 1 year anniversary)
I’m looking forward to having a lot of fun this summer, and I’m especially looking forward to sharing those experiences with you all! Well, it’s time for me to go ahead and finish my meal prepping for the week, so I’ll talk to you all soon!
