Summer's end...

Aug 19, 2004 21:20

I haven't updated in months and this will probably be my last entry (if someone would be so kind as to tell me how to delete your account, I'd be much appreciative). I just don't talk to as many people as I used to, and as I was told at the end of the school year, this really isn't the way to be keeping up with friends. People who want to stay friends with each other will make the effort to do so, and that's just the way it is I guess, and reading how they're doing on an LJ isn't really keeping up with their lives. Reading an entry isn't the same as hearing them describe it on the phone. Because as much as I use and <3 the internet I really think the old ways of keeping in touch are much more personal. I'll go back to writing my letters when I get back to school instead of e-mails. Because I know how exciting it is to get mail when you're in college.

And as much as I bitched and moaned about coming home this summer, it really turned out to be quite a good one. While I don't think there will ever be another time in my life where I see this many movies, I guess it wasn't so much about seeing the movies as getting to spend time with my bestestes ( if that's even a word). Maine was awesome! And we even got to go into Beantown for a day so Steph and Linds could see my school for the first time. I can't wait for everyone who promised to visit to come up this spring. I'm out in sunny Phoenix now where I get to see a gorgeous sunset every night of the week! I'm ready to go back to school, but this summer has strengthened my friendships with those from home. We learned even with going across the country to different schools we still could be the best of friends. This year and especially this summer has taught me a lot about myself and I'm happy I did end up coming home instead of staying in Boston all summer. And it'd be wrong of me to say I've stayed in touch with everyone I hoped to this year, but I have to stop being a upset about it, because if I really wanted to stay friends with someone I would have, so it's as much my fault. It remains true that "your first summer back home you'll find out who your real friends are," but that's because I made choices too of who to hang out with and who to call. So, I probably won't be writing in this anymore, and if someone could just tell me how to delete my account I'd appreciate it :)
