I decided I'll stay at my job a little bit longer since the cruise is earlier than I thought it was going to be. So 10 days of vacation, and then I'll work for another month or so, and then I'll chill for a couple weeks before school starts.
I'm having a hard time deciding when I want to end it. I love what I'm doing, and I feel like anytime I leave would be too soon! I had even talked to my PI about deferring vet school so I can continue with research, but she gave me her blessing, so I guess I'm going to vet school this fall after all.
) and improve my cooking skills. I didn't plan on working and instead was just going to hang back, but now I'm toying with the idea of getting something part-time to help save up some funds for living expenses for the first couple months of vet school -- that, or at least make a dent in my undergrad debt if I can. No plans for vacation or anything yet, though knowing my awesome parents, I'm sure they'll want to do something. 
Good luck! I'm sure you'll do great!I hear you. I am working as a GRA and my defense is July 8
) So moving beginning of July after I get back and family 4th of July stuff is over would be ideal, I'll just have to find someplace that has openings then. Unfortunately with college towns it seems like most leases start August 1st. If I can't move until then I'll be fine, but I would like to have more time to get used to the town before orientation starts August 15th. Mainly I need to decide on an apartment first and find out when they have openings. I've found a couple that look promising, but it will depend on my impressions when I visit in April. IDK, this is the farthest I'll have ever moved so I'm just being nervous and twitchy about it (but also excited!). My last couple moves were less than a block, so I've been spoiled!
That's awesome!! I'm going to London for a week over the summer! So excited for Europe!My mom just told me she booked a family trip to Milan for July !
I want to get it dealt with before vet school though, and I'm going to make the most of it - I figure a summer of video games, Netflix, and reading (for fun) might be just what I need after 3 years of working/undergrad. I'll be nice and refreshed and all ready for vet school to knock my on my butt in the fall.

Wow, and I thought my road trip I'm planning from Missouri to New York to Florida and back was ambitious! Although I'm curious how you'll be driving from Hawaii.

Mediterranean cruise officially being booked this weekend for June
Why must you ruin my excitement?

Western Mediterranean, so Italy, France, Spain.
cruises. You can never go wrong with a cruise.
Right there with you. I went on one when I was younger and *loved* it, but my whole family got seasick.I'd love to go on a cruise... But it seems like everyone I know is scared of boats.
And now I'm with a guy who gets so motion sick he won't go near a boat... so no cruises for me haha.
I heard depending on the cruise, the drink packages might not be worth it. But that's just he said/she said.I'm trying to plan a graduation cruise with my best friend! We did it when we both graduated high school, so we're trying to make it a tradition.
We're trying to look at prices now since we both have pretty strict budgets.... she was saying under 1000, I was thinking more like 700 or so because I figure once drinks and souvenirs are factored in, we're probably going to end up with more like 1000. Maybe getting a 700$ cruise and we buy drink packages may help? We're not totally sure yet.
Look at vacationtogo.com it's a legit website and you can get cruises for cheaper than normal. I've done numerous cruises through them and saved major $$$.I'm trying to plan a graduation cruise with my best friend!

If cocktails are that expensive. Word is if you can find the bars with the specials, you'll come out the other end drunk as a skunk but still with cash in your pocketHm I was thinking if cocktails are over 10$ (I know cruise mark-ups can be a lot!) and we have at least 5 a day, we'd save money that way... which I think we would
Probably have more tread than what's currently on my car!
THIS IS REAL? It looks like a fake website the deals are so amazing. Linking my friend to them now, thanks so much for the recommendation
Caught me!The other possibility is @alohacat319 is just a shill and works for that scam site. She's spent almost a year pretending to be a pre-vet student building trust, and now is her time to shine. She even said she went to the same school as me, which was a very smart move
