BUG HATE

It's really warm. Ugh.

Apparently the enormous flying ants are swarming right now, and somehow there are dozens loose in my room. I'm not exaggerating. I'm scared to sleep with my mouth open.

Speaking of nasty bugs, Mom and Dad get these caterpillars which build silk nests in the bushes by the driveway and consequently kill them (the bushes). I mistakenly thought they were harmless, adorable little caterpillars which build cocoons and transform into butterflies, and ended up rescuing two and transporting them to a nearby tree. Afterward I discovered that they are the bush-killing culprits! OMG. I was so ashamed. Mom and I killed them with fire (kidding kidding, it was bleach water) and that did the trick. Fuckers.

I spent a few hectic days with Mike in Ionia, going to his final two lacrosse games of the season and wrapping up some wedding plans. Things are a little crazy! I will be so happy when we're on the cruise and don't have to think about anything else but each other for a change. This weekend he's going with his boys to Boston and I'm taking my favorite ladies up north for Bachelorette weekend! I'm very excited, but even more so for the wedding to finally get here so we can all party down together. :)

Today I received permission from the Michigan Board of Pharmacy to schedule my NAPLEX and MPJE board exams. I was worried this would come too late and postpone my test-taking until after the wedding, but it seems like my prayers have been answered. Now it's more of a "be careful what you wish for" kind of feeling, because I'm so scared and don't feel ready at all. But I'm going to schedule it approximately two weeks out from the wedding and go for it. I'm ready to close this chapter and be free.
