Summer is officially over!

So, it's labor day, and summer is officially over for everybody! Tomorrow, every kid goes back to school. Unfortunately, I have been back in school for 2 weeks. I'm only taking one class, Economics, so it's not bad. I go on Monday and Wednesday from 1-2:15pm. I'm not too fond of Economics, as it mostly has to do with politics and I just plain don't understand it. However, I like my professor, and his ways of teaching, and he's making the class more enjoyable. The one downside to this class is the 5 page paper we have to do by the end of the semester. I am not a writer, in fact, I loathe writing essays! I'm more of a reader. So, not only do I have to write an essay, but it has to be something about economics, which I barely understand!! I haven't had to write an essay in a long time, and the last time i had to, i stressed myself out so much, that i got sick and my sister had to write it for me!

Anyways, this summer has been pretty good. On a scale of 1-10, i'd give it a 7.5! The beginning was great, I went to Philiadelphia for my conference, and had Mat for a week. The rest has been kinda boring, except for hanging out with my friends. This summer I got back in touch with my best friend Chris, after not seeing/hearing from him in a year. It's been great being able to hang out with him again!! On Friday, we went out to dinner at Chili's, my treat! I went with dad to a briefing for work one day, and as a thank you, they gave him a gift card for Chili's, and since dad doesn't like the place, he gave it to me and told me to take a friend out to dinner, so I did! We had fun, and the food was good, and the waitress was fantastic! I had to go home earlier than I usually do cause we were leaving early in the morning the next day to go to Amanda's. Before I left though, we watched "Adventureland", I really like that movie! This summer, I also got to hang out with my new group of friends from school/work. I found that I have a few groups of friends!! I love it!

This weekend, we went to South Carolina to visit Amanda. It was my first time to her new house. I love her new house, it's soooo nice! I am so very happy for her! On Saturday, we got there at around noon and just hung out for most of the day. Amanda and Mom went and got her a new bedroom set, dining room, and a couch. The bedroom set and dining room set came later that night and got set up. Her house is starting to really look like a home! On Sunday, we went to a flea market place, where they had a ton of buildings with all the people set up inside. I got a few things, including a bunch of rings, a tiny pocket knife and a little guitar. Mom got a couple skillets and a couple of pictures to hang up on the wall. I don't think Amanda got anything and Dad got a pocket knife too, he actually got mine for me. We left on Sunday to come home. I wanted to stay until today, but mom and dad wanted to get home so we could work around the house and yard today before going back to work tomorrow.

I'm a little sad that summer is over, but I'm happy because it's getting nicer outside! Well, that's about it! Until next time.........
