I've been reading The Little Prince
Ok, I'll admit it. Where LJ was once an important part of my daily life, it hardly exists anymore. 15 weeks since last I posted?
This summer was, as I have told many, the greatest summer of my life. I went to Europe with an amazing group of people, toured on my own and visited a good friend in a beautiful country few even know about, saw my cousins in their house before they moved back to the States. I worked at my summer camp for five weeks as a counselor, and another five weeks in the kitchen. I learned to cook lots of different things. I got to work with some really amazing people, and really feel more at home at camp than anywhere else. Yeah, it has that effect.
I can't believe that's how I'm summing up my summer, but I really don't think I could express it in words. And I was so busy and caught up in the experience, that for once I wasn't taking pictures (except when i was teaching photography).
All in all, amazing.
Now I'm back in the old routine. Taking a break from xc, training (slowly) for the Boston Half-Marathon next month.
Managing editor of the newspaper this year. Still taking pictures here and there, but now I only have to worry about the editorial staff and laying out the section of the paper that no one reads.
Just as predicted, I did fairly awful in my classes last spring, and I will be making up for it down the line. For now, I have a freshman-looking schedule of 100 level geol, bio, and history classes, plus concert choir and a 300 level education class that has no classroom experience component. I also added a 1-credit course on coaching. I'll be a ASEP-certified Level I high school coach at the end, halfway through the semester. Pretty sweet.
My computer is, yet again, broken. Anytime I'm online, or for that matter anytime I'm awake and not in class, I am in the newspaper office.
I've lost my inspiration. I wonder who still reads these? I'll admit I haven't checked my friends page all summer. Kinda surprised by a few posts though. Good to see a few old-schoolers are still kicking around.
