and better times are coming still.
There are so many things to say about this summer.
First and foremost...I love it. I love all of it. I love the independence, I love getting off work, picking up something to drink, and heading to Claire's. I love having this core group of friends, this small group that stayed in Minneapolis. I loved stopping by Kelsey's tonight to pick up Meg's purse, and complaining about allergies, albeit hers were MUCH worse than mine, but you know, we're alone now. No parents to take care of us when we get sick. I love that Brad called me and wants us all to hang out this summer. It's Brookwaukee, the College Years. But not even...because it's different.
My relationships with all of them have evolved. JC and I are much closer than we used to be. He's just...awesome. I love having him around (you know, when he gets here on thursday...) Claire and I, our friendship that began in kindgergarten, when we were five years old. It's bigger now. It's about our futures, our real futures. not just middle school, or even high school. Our futures.
I love my job, I love love love it. I want to be good at it. No, I want to be great at it.
I know, what a mediocre goal from the girl who wants to get her Psy.D. But this is important to me. These are life skills. And frankly, it's an awesome way to make good money. And the people are fantastic, and it just seems to good to be true. I sort of like it better than Panera or North Star though. I didn't get it because of anyone I know (*cough* Jen), I got it on my own. I don't need to follow anyone around to get a job. I can do it on my own, and I can do it better than I could when I got those jobs from Jen.
I loved Rilo Kiley. And I loved Emma's birthday, and I just love the freedom of it all.
Yes, I am having the time of my life. Yes, I do miss my girls so very very much.
but that's growth, is it not? It's painful, but it's worth it. And I will always have them. always always.
oh yes. and MICHAEL is coming home to me!!! MICHAEL. My wonderful, wonderful, God send of a foreign exchange student. My beautiful second brother. My life line. My support. I FINALLY GET TO SEE HIM AGAIN. finally.
There has been a pattern with my summers. Summer '04: perfect. Summer '05: shitty as all hell. Summer '06: awesome. Summer '07: miserable. Summer '08:...is following in that pattern of every/other.
And I am so excited for life right now.
And thank you thank you thankkkk youuu. Whoever is up there. For this summer. It is honestly a blessing.
