Well, the summer is coming to a close. The things I said I would do. I didn't do. The things I didn't think I would do, well in some cases I did them.
Here's the summary.
Surgery: Worth it, my friends that came and saw me, awesome people.
ATL Friends: I hardly saw anyone this entire summer. I suppose that is partly to be expected. I spent a lot but not enough time with Anna, Liz and Cara. Good girls all three. I don't know how much I'm going to see of them all in the future. I see each of them going there own ways over the next year. That'll be exciting to watch. I'm glad I spent some time with them before college happened again.
SC Friends: I feel like we are at this point as a group of friends where we are scared to be moving into valuing our new relationships as much as we value our old friends. Or at least, that's where I am, so why not project that feeling onto everyone else? It's weird to think that in a week or so, I'll have known Danny as well as I knew the Rimboyz the first time that we all went to Hilton Head. Wow, that seriously just dawned on me. That's unreal to me... Anyways, I like these kids a lot and I can't wait to get back to them.
Girlfriend: This summer with Kendall has been awesome. She is a great girl and I can't wait to see where this year takes us. That's the thing right now, I really can't wait, like I'm done with this long distance thing. Don't get me wrong, I love talking to her on the phone, but that's because that's all I can do. In contrast to spending time with her face to face, I think it's needless to say that the phone pales in comparison.
O-Town Friends: I didn't see anybody this whole entire summer. Just as I kinda realized that I've known Danny for a long time. I just realized with a hurtful pang how much I miss those kids right about now. Well, at least I'll see Deez in a couple of weeks, even if it is for just a night. That'll be better than nothing I guess. Seriously though, I need to see everybody else sometime shortly after that, I can't take this separation much longer, it's no good.
Rimboyz: Man I missed the boys this summer. It hurt, a lot, being the only one home. Well, I guess I wasn't the only one home, but I suppose when you are laying around your house all day, you tend to get a me against the world attitude going. I wish that they had all been here all summer. I do feel like we missed out on something not coming home to each other summer after freshman year. It's worth it though, I'm watching them grow and it makes it worth it to me. So I guess that's good.
Overall: Summer was long. I've decided. There was some debate in my mind for a while as to whether I thought this summer had flown by or it had crawled by and I've come to the conclusion that it moved slower than cold syrup through an ice cube in Antartica. It was too long, I spent too much time doing nothing, I'm ready to be back and school and that's about it. Let's get going.
Oh yeah, I can chew now. That's great.
COUNTDOWN CHANGE: To September 3rd
26 days till we're moving forward but holding ourselves back and we're waiting on something that'll never come
