today is the last day of summer, for those of you who weren't aware. The weird thing is, is that I am completely sober right now, but I am being completely reflective and emotional, something I usually do when posting on livejournal only when I'm drunk.
This past summer has been a monumental one, more so than last summer even though it seems like last summer was more eventful. For one, I had time away from tampa to think about friendships made, friendships lost, and friendships rekindled. I made new friends in Melbourne as well, girls at work that I was never really friends with in highschool. Spent a lot of time with my pal John. Also, I realized that coming back home, most of the people I was friends with in highschool was because that's all there was. Going into college, you meet people who are more you taste and have selection, unlike the EG was.
I hit up some good parties and fell in love with all the wrong people.
Also, I think it is a good thing for people to be away from home for a while, then come back for a while, and then go back away. It really puts things into perspective when you get a chance to step away from different situations in different places and definitely makes you think about what you want to do with your life and change your original plan.
On top of all this, one of my most successful accomplishments is my bond with my dad. I used to be completely partial to my Mom, but now, I feel like I can approach my Dad with things that I can't do to my Mom. pretty cool.
As fall will come and go, I hope to keep making progress in learning and whatnot. I will be going to G-ville soon to see my Tina, I miss you.
now its time for a drink, so that this post doesn't look too ridiculous when I reread it.
