Last Day of Volunteering

Hi, blog! Today was my last day of volunteering for the summer! 

I ended up clocking 53 hours of service at our local hospital this summer, between working in the mother/baby unit and working in escort services. 

I decided to take the semester off so that I can focus on studying, so I won't be able to return to the hospital until January or February. :( I truly loved my time there, and I can't wait to go back! 

I also learned some bad news today: I won't be able to defend my master's thesis in the fall because of an institutional policy that prevents me from defending if my coursework isn't complete.  I would be short three thesis hours, so I can't defend until January or February.  

This might not be a bad thing, since it will mean I can spend more time studying and less time stressing over my defense.  

Heading home to Illinois for a week tomorrow before I head to Korea a week from tomorrow!
