Ode To Summer
"But if it ever came down to one day,
one day left in a thousand,
the last good times of summer,
are the last few minutes of warmth.
Remember what it was like to enjoy our time,
before we all go back to school and learn,
before our eyes turn grey again,
and we forget what it was ever like to feel awake."

it feels like i did practically nothing this summer.. but i guess every summer feels like a waste. i learned a lot about myself which i realize, sounds pretty cliché but is true. i've become a stronger person in the past two months, made some new friends, got a whole new outlook on life and changed my own. but now that summer is over school begins.. tomorrow. the last and final year of high school.. the best days of our lives. i don't know who came up with that but they must have been high the entire 4 years or something. i don't see these years as the best i've had and i sincerely hope there are much better years to come. i’m not about to work hard this year but if i want to get into drexel's very selective school of education then i have no choice... they only take 25-30 kids and i want to be one of them. that is like my dream school, even though i want to take the 5 year program it's a good opportunity to get a good career, meet cool people, and have an amazing time in the city of brotherly love... not to mention all the shows i'll be going to that dont happen here. i'm so ready to start over with a new group of people, i'm tired of seeing the same faces every day.. there are too many i would be happy never to see again. but there are also some i know i’m going to miss. but i have the better part of a year to think and reflect on all of the people who have made such an impact on my life.. good or bad. as for now, i’m going to attempt sleep. this will be the earliest i’ve been in bed since school ended. sweet dreams.
