Time to Say Goodbye Again

Well, another summer seems to have come and gone. It feels like I just finished my sophomore year of college last week, only that was 3 months ago and I am only a little over a week away from my junior year beginning. It's crazy to think that 3 months of my life flew by so fast. But that has been the case with my summers ever since I started high school. I feel like I blink and miss them, hoping once they are over that I still remember something, anything that happened. Luckily for me, I had my camera handy to help me document the important things that occurred. Unfortunately, most of my summer was spent working so fun times were few and far between. And well I know I should not be complaining because I actually have a job, I can't help disliking have to go there 5 or 6 days a week. It wasn't a hard job. I just was bored, didn't like most of my coworkers, and was treated like a child by some of my superiors. But other than that, it could have been worse. So when I finally said goodbye to that place last week, it made it even more clear that I was not going to be here for much longer.

But, that is enough about the job. Time to get back to the fun stuff and see what I spent my summer doing.

First up- my cousin's high school graduation. That was me 2 short years ago. I hope she has a great first year at school.



Next was sisterly bonding time at the beach. Some say we look like twins, but certainly not in this picture. The beach was awesome that day, and I didn't get there nearly as much as I wanted to this summer.



Probably the highlight of my summer was my trip to Chicago with my best friend. We had such a blast and I loved every second. I miss her with her being in the army, so it was awesome to just spend a few days with her. Plus, Chicago is always a great time.





Can't forget some serious workouts. One of my good friends/former teammates really kicked my butt into gear.



Lastly, a day at the PGA Championship. I was just hanging with Tiger, Phil, and enjoying the fact that this amazing golf course is right up the road.





So there's a quick overview of my summer. Now it's time to make the move back to school. Hopefully my year will be filled with lots of fun times, good grades, and amazing opportunities. Until I blog again, "There is no finish line."

Where, O Where Did My Summer Go

I finally came to terms with the fact that it is now officially August. Umm, where did June and July go? I missed them somehow. But then I remember that I spend hours everyday working, having little to no social life, and sleeping. So that's where my first two summer months went. Now I find myself at the beginning of August with less than a month until school starts up again. That one month will go by just as quickly as well I'm sure. Before I know it, I will be buried in school books, standing in the bitter cold at football games, wondering why it's snowing in early October again, and enjoying those great nights out with friends. But there is plenty of time for that later. I have too much to do between now and September 1st. For example, I have to go shopping. I am in desperate need for some new wardrobe basics. Plus, I haven't gone in over six months so I'm due. Also, I still have to hang out with a few people back home before we all leave for school. Nothing says summer like a day spent at the beach, grilling some brats on a grill, and enjoying stories around a bonfire. Well I guess that means I should get back to enjoying my summer.

I only have about 3 weeks left here.



And only 40 days until opening day at this beauty.



Just remember, "There is no finish line."
