Hmmm
This summer has just been strange. I think some how summers usually are, or at least mine are. They never turn out the way I expect them to.
I'm leaving tomorrow for three weeks and then I'm back for eight days and then I leave again, so summer in Albuquerque appears to be pretty much done. I always said that I would lose most of the friends I made in high school, but somehow I expected it to last longer than this...or to care more...or something. I think I hang out with a total of two people who go/went to my high school. I haven't seen anyone else from there in months. So many of the people I expected to spend a lot of time with I haven't seen since May. It's funny I was worried at the beginning of this summer that I'd be too busy doing Manoa pretty much all the time every day, but to be honest I'm really glad I did. I hung out with a lot of really nice people, and if I hadn't, I think I would have been really really bored. Then again maybe if I hadn't, I would have had more incentive to make an effort to call people. But if you have to be bored before you think to call someone, they really aren't that strong of a friend in the first place anyway. And it's not like people called me either. Which doesn't particularly bother me, oddly. I'm leaving, I'll make new friends soon, and those who I want to keep in contact with, I will. I think I'd rather have two absolutely amazing friends that I can spend all day with, than a whole group who after a while I need to get away from.
Strangeness asside though, this has been a totally awesome summer. I do wish that I had been able to go visit my sister, I haven't been up there in a really long time. Maybe next year I could manage it, somehow. But other than that, I've had such a good time. Anyone who is still in high school and interested in theater should totally check out the Manoa Project; Tricklock is just unbelievably cool, I learned so much.
All in all i think this was a good transition summer. I'm going to miss a few people, but I think it will be good to leave.
