Summer & Now.
Best Summer of my life.
and im pretty sure people always say that as summer winds down.
but this one.. oh man. words fall short in comparison.
+ I spent a week rebuilding houses on the Gulf Coast with my Catonsville crew. and it really was all we thought it was going to be and more. We played music, laughed, danced, and even exceeded expectations of all of those we were striving for. We completed like 5 different work sites in one week? I mean, how awesome is that!
+ I came home for fourth of july. We did the whole parade thing (CGC<3) and then it was the typical 4th. Walking around at the parade after we'd walked in it, seeing friends, staying up all night & then watching the sunrise on a hill in the middle of the street. I'm pretty sure it's one of my favorite traditions
+ I left again to spend a week and a half in Africa. I guess you could call it work, although it really didn't seem like it. Educating kids, playing with kids, visiting hospitals.. it was all in good fun. And again, with another awesome group of people. It reminded me why I wanted to go to Africa all my life.
+ Came home another week or so, and took a roadtrip with my cousin to go up north. We looked at Ithaca and Cornell for her, then spent a couple days in Canada.. it was awesome. Canada's pretty rad. Oh did I metion Ithaca is gorgeous?? If I ever move, it will either be to colorado or Ithaca, NY.
+ Spent 10 days at Georgetown University.. learning about Medicine and what not. It was really one of the best times of my life. The first few days were really awkward and we were all pretty quiet, but then once the week went out, we became best friends. In fact, we're all going to meet up in NYC the week before New years.. im so excited. Also, I got to see an open heart surgery... the most bad ass thing ever. I'm definitely going to become a surgeon, I already know.
+ Came home, and then left like 3 days later. And went on the coolest surf trip ever. Hawaii for a week, then Australia. Sure, shattering your collar bone isn't the greatest thing that's ever happened to me.. but it was well worth it. Best surf sessions of my life. And for winter break, instead of Cocoa Beach, FL like we normally do, the brothers and I are heading back to North Shore to do some more surfing in hawaii.
+ I spent the last couple weeks of my summer at home, which is just what I needed. Went to Virgin fest... which was fucking insaneeee. (www.virginfest.com). Saw a bunch of old friends, went to OC at 3am, just enjoyed it ya know?
Oh and did I mention I had a completely drama free summer? I mean, is that even possible????
Like I said, best summer of my life.
Some Ranting...
You know, classes started about a week ago, which is cool I guess. the first day, was a typical first day.. a bit of work, but not too much. Also the fact of that initial excitement that's always there to see a bunch of people from last year.. but yet still bummed that school has started. It's weird to always go back, because automatically you're thrown back into all the same drama that happened last year.
As rude as it seems, I honestly have nothing good to say to Megan. It's sad that the same issues with her are still there. Last year, she shadily dumped a good friend of mine, dated another guy 2 weeks after, and is a shameless flirt with everybody. I'm pretty sure we all were in agreeance that the only thing I ever heard her say was "oh my god i love _____" or "oh my god i hate _____". for some reason, it really pissed me off, well not really pissed me off, but annoyed the hell out of me. She just become this completely annoying person. She tells stories to seem "funny" but in all reality, they're just stupid. And I really don't know what to say to her. Our group of old friends from school, we all think she's changed.. except Emily.. which is weird, because last year emily shit talked megan as much as the rest of us did... but now they're best friends again??? yet another person I have nothing good to say to. Ever since that issue we had back then, I've tolerated her and been "friends" with her... just for the mere fact that I have to see her and be around her on a daily basis. But I haven't fully trusted her since.. and obviously with her going back and being shady and hanging out with Megan,.. just makes me think "wow i wonder what megan knows". megan trys to be friends with all of us, and it always is awkward because I have nothing to say to her. Even if I did, I'm pretty sure she'd have nothing to say that would be worth hearing. She actually walked up to me and was like "when are we hanging out!!?" and i was thinking "um never?" I haven't talked to her all summer, I wasn't very close with her at all towards the end of last year. OH and the other day she flipped out on Kyle. She sent him a text message, complaining about how he's immature and being rude. I'd rather hang out with Kyle than her. I really don't think I'd ever be best friends again with Emily or Megan, as wrong as that sounds. I hate that it's like that, and I hate that its become that way. I wish it were just like the old days... people always grow up, but I wish it wasn't in the shitty sense where people grow up and become douchebags. I don't trust a lot of people, but thank god for those people that are awesome. I love my old friends, and I love a lot of new people I have met.. I hate shitty people. which is all I have to say about that. I refuse to let them get in the way of my happiness.
