Summer 2007

Ok, wow, I never update this anymore... Oops. Well, it's been a crazy few months, that's for sure. Now summer's come to an end, wah!

Let's see... As most of you know my grandfather passed on at the beginning of July. I haven't gotten into a place yet where I can really write about that, its just... It still hasn't really sunken in yet, to be honest.

My birthday has come and gone. It was a pretty good one. There was a keg, lots of beer was drunk, fun was had by all and that's really all I can ask. It was especially nice to get to spend five days with Taela and to visit with Tim and Kelly, I've missed you guys so much! As for being another year older, 24's not bad, so far I like it. Next year, we're going whitewater rafting, I've already decided! 25 is going to come in with a bang!

I did a summer semester, which was meh... Three straight semesters of school is not my idea of fun, especially when it looks like I have another 5 ahead of me before I get any significant break. Eww! Also, I got screwed a bit, joy, so I really have to evaluate my options and figure out what I'm doing next--do I take the easier, longer road or do I take a harder path that should get me where I need to be in the same amount of time as I originally wanted? I haven't really made up my mind yet, I just... I have time, I'll figure it out, too much else to focus on.

Though, I hated having school in the summer, I did really enjoy my language credit, which was Italian! And I managed a 80%! Yay me! This is really impressive, keeping in mind that I barely passed French when I was forced to take it years ago. So, despite everything else, I am really proud of myself for that!

Let's see... Summer 2007... There was Beerfest which was a lot of fun, as well as a few short visits home and various activities with friends, Tyler's birthday and a trip to the Ex (though it really was just a shopping excursion), all of it a lot of fun, though I still say the summer really did go by to quickly!

The piece to resistance of the summer, was the Kelley Armstrong message board meet. It was a really emotional weekend, getting to see my board friends again, and meeting new ones for the first time. I had a wonderful time and I was definitely sad to see the weekend--next summer can't come soon enough!

The only other thing of note, is the fact that I moved this weekend. Mark and I officially moved in together, or rather we moved stuff into the apartment that I will move into this week and that we will occupy together as of October 1st. It's a big step, kinda scary, but really nice all the same and we have a nice little home, I'm really happy with it!

So, that's it... It's been an eventful summer, which is mostly why I haven't really been updating! Though I'll try to update more often. Really, I will.
