The Last REAL Summer

Even though Union let out at the beginning of the month, I took a stats class (my first and last college math course) that crammed a whole semester of material into three weeks. But today I finished! All five tests are over, and my homework has been handed in. I'm ecstatic. I don't think I'll know what to do with myself until June 10 when I leave to work at camp.

Actually, I do know. Work on cleaning my room and my office, finish Alias, catch up on TIME, hang out with friends, get my teeth cleaned, start packing up again, go to a wedding and my brother's high school graduation, write some poetry, wash my car, get my camera fixed, schedule gallery exhibits for the rest of the summer. And while that's a pretty decent-sized list, I don't care because school isn't in the mix anymore! I love summer.

In the middle of it all, I need time to think. I have a lot I want to figure out, and I need to make it a priority. So many questions are begging answers, and I need pay attention to them instead of covering them up with busyness.

But all that will come. For now it's sleep. It's weird thinking that this is my last, true summer. Next year around this time I'll have graduated and summer will be a thing of the past just as homeleaves are to me now. Believe me, I'm living this one up!
