I mean no offense whatsoever to New Jersey, but--
This has been the best summer of my life. No competition.
For those who don't know,
I'm in Searcy, Arkansas. For the last 4 weeks I've been a counselor for 2 sessions of Honors Symposium. Honors Symposium is a class/camp type deal that lasts 2 weeks, and is both very fun and informative. All of the classes are built to expand one's horizons. On that front, alot of unanswered questions are buzzing in my mind, and I love it. I've learned alot about the world and me. I've also learned about who I am, and am now 100% comfortable with me. I have never been able to say that in my life. I was me, no holds barred, and made around 100 friends that I'll see in school the year after next. My fellow counselors (4 of us) also made a fantastic group. We meshed well, and were very efficient in our dealings. It also turned out that we were SATB, which was also very fun on occasion. Also, did I mention I got paid to do all this?
Before Honors Symposium, my summer was very relaxed. I caught up on heroes (starting from season 1), ran a little bit, and hung out. Very summer-ish.
After Honors Symposium (AKA Now...ish)... I'm going to see my sister in NUNSENSE. Which I've been looking forward to for forever. Rehearsals start today for Millie today too. It goes up the first week in august. I'm pretty freaking stoked. That cast makes me very happy inside. And outside. That'll keep me busy for quite some time. But after that's over, I still have a few weeks before school. What shall I do but get a head start on some research in the chemistry department? Sounds like a plan. I have a presentation that I make for the American Chemistry Society on October 21st. And that's exciting as well. Also, Scrooge the musical goes up the week after that. Ugh. My life. :-D
That's a fairly good update/projection. Also.... My birthday hasn't even happened yet. The only bad thing that's happened this summer is the fact that I'll miss my kids-- but the fact that I'm learning to miss people makes me happy. :-) And I think my being away from home for so long has made me learn to miss it as well. I like the freedom here, though. I have so much control of my life.
Peace and Blessins.
