Wow!! So this summer has totally flown by. Wait...what summer? I've been home for almost four months and I still have no idea where the summer went. Well I do have one pretty good guess, work. That seems like that has been all I have been doing. I've seen my friends a few times...the friends that I really care about anyway...and I met a guy...well for a few weeks anyway. So nothing has really lasted and I guess that's why it seems so short. I've spent all my free time sleeping, talking on the phone, and rehabing my arm, not much time for anything else.
It definately hasn't been the best summer and I guess that could be why it went by so fast...I really wanted it to. I didn't realize how hard it would be to move back in with my family after I had gotten used to living on my own, with my own rules for the school year...thats part of school that I am totally ready to go back to. And then there's work...which is never fun but always necessary. Don't get me wrong...I love my job, but you can only say, "Michigan's Adventure, How may I help you?" a few thousand times before your ready to absolutely just scream. Anyway, I miss my friends from school, but I know as soon as I go to school I'll miss my friends from home and that just seems to be a lose lose situation.
Other things haven't been so great this summer...like the fact I spent the first 10 weeks in a splint, cast, or brace. And the first month of that on pain pills. My surgery may have been one of the best things I ever did for myself, but also one of the most painful. It has been such a struggle for me get back to where I was before but I have to keep going, because I don't want to be handicapped forever.
I did do some awesome things this summer, like go to a Brad Paisley concert, and go to my first and hopefully not my last Yale Bologna Festival!! Even though the summer hasn't been that great, it definately had it's high points. So anyway....I've come to the conclusion that I'm totally ready to go back to school, and I'm totally ready to stop working, but I'm NOT totally excited about leaving muskegon(only and I mean ONLY because of the beach and no other reason)
