It's that time again...
Once more, I pack up my whole life to go from home to home. You'd think I'd be used to it by now, but I'm not quite there yet, although it definitely does get easier. I am the readiest to leave I've ever been. I had an awesome summer thanks to amazing people, but they're all gone or almost gone & I'm just done with the whole North canton thing for a while. I'm ready to go back to school & see everyone that I haven't seen in months & months. I'm ready to get this year kickstarted with my cool new roomie & to just get back into the whole school routine (although I COULD do without classes & papers for a little longer).
This summer was awesome - sometimes I feel like I didn't really do anything, and other times I feel like it was jampacked. Between mini golf & ice skating outings, hiking & getting lost (ha), fireworks what felt like a million times in a row, dancing, pig roasts, parades, ice cream trips (Yum!), blood donations & subsequent incidents, work, the beach, visits from family, cheese fries & appetizers & dessert sharings, not fighting with my sister (well, not very often at all...maybe like 2 actual "fights" all summer if that. i was crazy impressed), and general friend hanging out ness, I'm pretty happy. It was a good summer. I love my friends here. You guys are seriously the coolest. The quote about the test of true friendship being the ability to literally do nothing and have a good time - that's us. I think we've passed the test & I wouldn't have it any other way. The summer alternated between crazy busy & crazy boring, but that's okay. I got a little of everything then. I'll miss you guys SO much (obviously), but i'm not too worried....as I said before, 1 year down, 80 to go. We'll keep in touch b/c we have to. It really is that simple. I already can't wait until I see everyone again. I love you guys. Some things will never change.
Until then, I *really* can't wait to see everyone from Dickinson. I've missed everyone & I've talked to some people & not to others & i want to see everyone. I'm kind of nervous now that it's getting so close b/c I want it to be just like last year b/c I hate change, except i def. don't want it to be just like last year. I want to have the same friends, but I want new ones too. I want...idk what i want actually. I just want it. haha. I'm so excited for this year & I really do think it'll be even better than last year & that it'll be a great year. That doesn't stop me from being nervous about it too though. Well, I guess I'll see what this year brings. A year ago, I had even less of an idea what the coming year would bring. Whatever I expected, I didn't get it. Last year completely blew all expectations out of the water. Most things were better, some were just surprising. And while I think this year will be unexpectationable also, not nearly as much as last year. I guess that thought can give me some comfort - the worst of the change is over. Although the change brought was good, despite everything. I have such a fear and hatred of change. I hate waiting for it so much. Once it comes though, I've found that it usually isn't so bad; in fact, it's usually for the better. Not always, but often. So here's to an awesome summer and to change (but not too much) and to the hope that next year when I write my "leaving for school/Italy" entry, I'll have the same combination of completely surprising but generally good events and situations from the past year to look back on as I did this year.
