Alas and For Joy, summer is ending.
This summer was nice. I took it easy, then I took it very busy busy busy. I had some wonderful trips and had some wonderful visits. I kept my hair one color the whole time. I got in shape and then got a job and stopped going to the gym. I've been scheming about all the things I will do and people I will see in the next week. I am overjoyed to go back to Savannah but disheartened that I have over two years left. I'll be 21 in less than three months, just in time to make warm winter mixed drinks from 2003 Martha Stewart Living. I can decorate a new place that I will not be moving out of for the next two years. All my favorite guy friends are going to be gone, but I have my new gay boyfriend to forge a friendship with. Tiffany and I can no longer see chick flicks together but Liz and I can see Emily Rose and comedies. I will miss the dogs and my precious cat. I will miss driving. I look forward to escaping the cold that is settling here already. I regret that I will have to wait an extra two months in Georgia before I can wear cute winter clothing. I will miss my job at LUSH but it has taught me to appreciate veggie rock and Liz and I are going to shop at LUSH and see a veggie rock concert in Florida. I am going to New York for the first time in my life! I will be working at the Mansion again and I have missed that. All and all. I'm over the moon about coming to my second home and second family. This place and these people will be here and I will come back to them. But after school I will not be in Savannah and all those wonderful people will not be all together at once ever again. I should cherish that as much as I can. Oh. So bittersweet.
