This past week was a good one, if incredibly busy. I came back from Hawaii last Sunday (I’ll post some pictures in my Wordless Wednesdays at some point, I promise!) and immediately started playing catch-up with work and school. Wednesday, one of my closest friends came into town and we had a lot of fun hanging out. Since she left, I’ve been studying frantically for my Tuesday midterm. This is a really hard class, and I’m nervous about the exam because (a) it’s been years since I’ve taken an in-class exam – everything in my degree so far has been a paper or take-home (b) we’ve been moving incredibly quickly since it’s a shortened time period, and thus have covered a lot of material. I think I’ll end up doing okay, but getting to that point is going to be painful.
This coming weekend, my husband and I are traveling again. While I’ve really been enjoying the traveling I’ve been doing this year, and feel lucky that I can, I’m a little bit tired of it! I’ve been picking up to go somewhere every other weekend for the past few months – I’m burned out. Happily, this will be my last time traveling until August, so I’ll have some time to recover.
I’m not going to be commenting on blogs much for the next month or so, as I’m working to wrap up my degree and complete my thesis. July is going to be a hectic month for me, so I’m planning on focusing on school as much as possible so I can kick back and relax in August! If you don’t see me around your blog, don’t think I’ve abandoned it – I’ll be back at some point!
I’ll be picking the giveaway winner of The Passage today and announcing tonight or tomorrow. I know many of you are anxious to hear the winner, so I’m sorry it’s taken me so long!

I just ordered V, so you've done your bit for the economy!
I would have never guessed you were studying with as much reading you do, wow and well done.
Good luck with your thesis.
You should travel to Bermuda when you have your degree. Sit on the beach and read :-)

Swapna, I totally understand the stress of working on a thesis - GOOD LUCK!! And good luck on your exam - I am sure you will rock it! Cheers!
I think it is awesome that you are getting your degree and finishing a thesis. You are my hero! I know it is stressful and difficult, but you will do great and the payoff will be worth it. Don't worry about your commenting. We're not going anywhere!
Best of luck for the degree and hope the weather's good for your travelling!
