Let's see how well I can summarize my summer...
I worked at Pizza Hut. Everyone is really nice there, but I just get so nervous going in each day, I can't explain why! Even after a couple of weeks that sinking feeling would strike on my way to work. On a lighter note, I worked as an intern at Creating Landscapes which was AWESOME! I worked with the older player group (5th and 6th graders I think). They were such great kids! I was the youngest of the interns I think...and I met some really nice current Allegheny students....
On a social note, had some random get-togethers throughout the summer. For a while I felt like I was trying to cling on to sand slipping through my fingers, trying to make my connection stronger with some friends before they go to college so we would stay friends. But I'm over it. I'm ready to face the fact that some of my friends aren't wanting that...and I need to stop acting so clingy. I know the 3-4 friends I really care about are going to be there, and I don't need to try so hard to keep them. They are the only ones really worth it in the end anyway! There are also some friendships I'm ready to let go because they only make me feel gross about myself...Am I being too clingy? Am I dressed right? Am I talking enough? Am I talking too much? You get the picture. :)
Highlights of my summer were going to Canada with my family, Cedar Point with Whitney, Teresa, and Justin, Waldemeer with Whitney, Justin, and Annie, and 3rd row seats at the Chris Daughty (sp?) concert at the fair. I might have forgotten something, but it's hard to summarize an entire summer in less than 1/2 an hour!
I move in Saturday (tomorrow GASP!) to my dorm in Schultz. I'm really excited after hearing about my other friend's positive experience at college. I just hope I haven't geared myself up with expectations that are too high....but I really hope I will make friends with just as strong connections as I had in high school...even better than some of them! I've joked around about being a skank when I get to school...but I know that won't happen...I can't imagine myself giving myself up to some cheap thrills and not feeling insecure when the boy doesn't feel connected to me enough to make a commitment. I'm just ready to try to be myself around guys and not feeling so awkward...we'll see what happens!
Man, why did I do this now! I have so much stuff to do! Next time I update I'll be at Allegheny! But knowing me, the next update won't be till Christmas! I'm going to try to get better at this!
