It's been a summer
Well, my summer vacation is now officially over. With school starting in oh, a few hours or so, I suppose now would be an appropriate time to look back and recollect on the past 3 months.
I honestly was not expecting much going into this summer, needless to say my track record has not been very great the past couple years. But I found my self somewhat surprised this year. I actually went out a decent amount of times, and all those times were memorable in their own way. From our ghetto ass LAN parties at Zak's house, to partying in Petaluma and Sonoma. I ended up meeting alot of new people and gaining new friends, and even meeting up with some old friends I haven't seen in a while. I've never really been to any parties or anything before this summer, mainly because I haven't really started smoking or drinking until just this past year, but they seem to be some of the most memorable times I've had this entire year.
Like the weekend a Garrett's house for example. After some games of beer pong and a couple bowls, we all just came together and had probably the best conversations and discussions I've ever had about string and quantum theories and politics and our soceity as a whole. We even ended up watching Zeitgeist the next morning. The second night at Garrett's house was total guy time. Jason, Kenny, Garrett, and I just drank mixed drinks in the pool at 1 in the morning, just talking and having a good time. It's times like that weekend that I can look back on and be glad that I was able to experience such things.
I've also learned alot about myself, and have grown from it. I feel like I'm finding the real James, and it feels great.
Obviously there was more I could have done this summer, I still spent a fair amount of time at home. But then again it doesn't help when i'm stuck on this hill in Cotati, where all my friends are either in Rhonert Park or Petaluma. But I can say that I was very satisfied with this summer. It's a step in the right direction.
And now, I approach the hour that begins my final year of highschool. For some reason I'm kind of excited for it to begin.
I have about 13 months until I become an adult. And although I am looking forward to adulthood, I am very interested as to what this final year will bring. For one, I still have yet to have a girlfriend, or even kiss a girl for that matter. And there's still so many other things for me to experience. And I am ready to face this year head on, and hopefully live it to the fullest.
