Summer!

Now, that the snow is melting and I can hear the birds chirping outside, I am praying that spring is finally here and summer is on the way! (Knock on wood) With summer on the way, I am one step closer to a trip that my best friend and I have been planning since Grade 9 - we are going to backpack through Europe from the beginning of July to the beginning of September. We have rough plans so far to begin in Germany, where I have a cousin and my friend, April, has family. Next, we will be moving through France, to Italy and ending in Greece.... Neither of us has ever travelled to Europe, or outside of North America. I seriously can't wait, and the thought of both summer arriving and our fabulous trip approaching makes it harder than ever to concentrate on the final few assignments of these last weeks as a student.
