Wow.
So yeah, summer's over. Kinda anyway. The three readers might notice that I haven't written anything in three months. As incredible as it may sound, I was more busy this summer than when I was in school!! Where to begin?
I've been so damn busy for several reasons. All summer I've been working on a paper and a presentation for APA. I presented at a synposium on juvenile justice issues and it was pretty amazing, but it was an ass load of work all summer. I've been trucking along with my thesis all summer as well, lots of school work!
The Dark Knight was so good it caused my eyeballs to explode, they've only recently grown back.
Ellary and I got a beach house for a week in July at East Matunuck. It was incredible. I swam in the ocean every day and we had amazing weather. I had friends come by and visit almost every night and I think everyone had a good time. It was definately an experience to be back there in a beach house...something we did every summer when I was younger. Added to the emoness of me in general I think. I jumped off the bridge like I did as a kid too! Hopefully we'll get another one next summer!
Another thing that's been eating up my time is my new job. I've started working at Miriam Hospital as a Security Officer. It's an incredible job, I'm really glad I got it. However, low man on the pole thing means I work a ton of junk hours. But it's ok, it's finally good money that kinda fits with my schedual, even if it means I have much less of a life.
I've started my internship. I'm working with Probation with some pretty terrifying people. Exciting. What the hell is wrong with me?
I'm disappointed because I've missed two highlights of summer! I missed Derrick's pool party because I was in Florida with the fam. I was really heartbroken about it, I've gone to everyone in the past few years. But I guess there's next year! I also missed the Maine trip, and after I was so gun ho about it. It was kinda a big mess, I would have had to have drove up solo a day late right after APA. I really didn't want to do it so I decided against it. But at APA I realized there was a way to do it...but I had missed the opp. I was so upset, but once again, there's next year I guess. Sadness.
Florida was great. It was nice to see my family after not seeing them for months. The weather was pretty good, got to go out on a jet ski, which was pretty bad ass. It was cool to tear around the bay, it was totally deserted. Like, imagine being on a motorcycle in the middle of a twenty mile parking lot with no one around. It was pretty amazing. SCUBA diving was pretty cool, as it always is. Little scary this time, some navigation issues, storms and jellyfish. But it was cool. When we were on the boat this huge storm came in. It was on us so quick it was startling. For a few minutes half the sky was bright and sunny and half was coal black. It was so weird and one of those random beautiful moments...before massive destruction. On a related topic, big storm + small boat = trouble.
I'm dating Angela! She's amazing! Some how she puts up with me, don't get it really.
We've finally started playing volleyball again. J's been trying to get it set up for some time, but now it seems like everyone's all for it. It's nice to play, I wish it was at night like when we were in school. PLaying in the fall and spring at nigth with the crisp air and moon...come on! I also wish somebody would play.
Nightwish and Sonata Arctica came, and played together. My head exploded. That's about all there is to say about that.
Mark and I continue to be total losers and hang out...online playing HALO.
Ryan and I hung out a bunch, some waterfire insanity.
Hung out a lot with Becca. That beach house rocked!
I went diving with Carmine. It actually went well for once. Hopefully we'll get a few more jumps before the season's done.
Miss a friend of mine a great deal. I haven't seen her in over a year.
I bumped into an old friend from high school when I was in the airport. It was really nice to see her.
I've been meaning to hang out with a lot of people, but I keep missing them. Never got to really hang with my Bristol friends! Conflicting times with others. So lame, hopefully things slow down!
I'm still upset about some emo crap. I've been wanting to talk to a friend about a lot of things that have been bothering me, and they're avoiding me. Hurts. Another friend I want to talk about all kinds of good things, but they've decided not to talk to me anymore. Hurts bad.
Alright, no more emo crap! Summer's dying...should go visit before she goes. Fall's coming, I can smell it.
