Back To School

Wow, I haven't posted in a long time. Sorry...

It's been a relatively normal summer for me. I went to Europe to visit relatives in the middle of the summer, which was awesome, and visited friends in South Carolina recently, but mostly stayed around here.

The past couple of days have been a whirlwind for me, between repainting and decorating my room, to anxiously ordering and waiting for various posters and t-shirts I ordered online to arrive, and my friends realizing the time left in summer is waning and taking advantage of these last few days with mall trips and such...and wow, back to school orientations and sleepovers for the rest of the week. More whirlwind.

My single best accomplishment this summer (in my opinion) was spending hours at the basement computer watching not only the entire Star Trek original series, but also the Animated Series and four of the original series cast movies. Yes, I realize that's something that not everyone would be proud of, but I am. :)

I have mixed feelings about starting school again, like everyone else. I want to see my old friends and make new ones. I'm going to a new school where I will only know maybe a dozen or so people, so lots of new friends, hopefully. But I also don't want to leave the happy-go-lucky summer aura that's been around me for the past two and a half months. But new school means new opportunities, and that's the philosophy that I want to start school with.
