neglection.

i know, i know. and i'm sorry... hopefully i'll get some goods to post on here in the coming days/weeks/months.

my summer has been pretty good. how is yours going? (or ending?) i went on a mission trip a few weeks ago.. and honestly, i don't feel like i did much of anything or got much out of it. however, it was my first so maybe i wasn't really sure what to expect. Then i spent a week reading East of Eden by John Steinbeck. not a bad read. And of course this week is the Olympics! Was anyone else watching 4x100 mens relay in swimming last night? it was absolutely amazing.. and watching it live was so much better than the clips. (you can watch it here) i also plan on reading The Irresistible Revolution: living as in ordinary radical by Shane Claiborne this week. i really don't know much about it but i'm going to find out this week. And hopefully i'll be reading Breaking Dawn by Stephenie Meyer sometime soon as well.

What have you done this summer? Got any good books or memories? Photos?

ahhh i saw the race! you're right it was amazing! my whole family were cheering and yelling for the last guy to pull ahead. it was pretty crazy

as for summer, it's ending too fast. I hate this time of year knowing that the weather's summer season isn't ending quite yet but my summer season is. i'm not ready to go back to school with everyone. not yet. this time of year brings on changes that i'm not ready to take on. i'm still trying to take on last years haha. but it's heathly for me to go back, to be with new people. i need a fresh conversation with someone. i tend to find myself only having the same conversations with the same people. i need fresh thoughts in my head. challeging ones. not the ones that once were fresh at the beginning of the summer but i've thought too much on and already know my whole thinking process through it. it's not that i want to do these things, i need to do these things. If you stay too long in one place doing the same thing, it gets too easy. you're scared to do anything else because it tests you to do something different, something you haven't done in awhile. for me that's picking up a book and learning something new, or atleast it seems just a new view on what you've been learning since 1st grade. anyone else notice that? in 1st grade you learn how to write, how to do math, and you learn about space with some things in between. then as you get older you learn the same thing over and over again but they reword what you're learning so it seems like you're learning something new and more on grade level. let's just say i caught myself learning the same things that my brother who's in 2nd grade was learning. sorry getting off topic.
anyways, with the summer ending my oldest sister will be leaving for college. we're all ready for it, she's overstayed her welcome one year too many.
as for good books, i'm spending my time this week reading all my summer reading books. funnn. i'm almost done with the first one, which is the whole history of the world. i also read a lot of don miller this summer. i think it was a good fit for the summer. it may just be me but reading about road trips shouldn't be read anytime other then the summer.
well i think i've gone on way too long haha. sorry for the rambling but you asked haha :)

you had some very good stuff in there. :) i enjoyed reading it and i would not have minded more. haha

i'm feeling ready to get back to school. i get too lonely over the summer and i waste so much of my time doing pointless things. i would like some new... but i really just need to get back into a more social and routine type enviroment right now. i will have some new teachers this year.. actually far too many. and hopefully a few more students to become friends with

& yes most of school just re-learning with more detail.

donald miller is good.. i think i might re-read blue like jazz soon. all this reading different books makes me feel smart.. haha- it's quite sad.

lizzy: i loved that. it's so true! i want to move on and know it will be good for me but at the same time i'm not ready for it.

chrissy: that's how my summers usually are. this one was so different!

My friend and I were talking last night, and honestly our summer seems to have been forever long. We've done so much. Experienced so much. There have been tons of fun times, but hard times as well. But even with all the hard times, like us both breaking up with our boyfriends, this has honestly been the best summer I've had in a really long time. possibly ever. I've made so many new friends and grown closer to a long-time friend than I ever thought I would get the chance to do. The bad thing is writing this is making me want to cry again. I just feel so blessed right now, and all summer. I really couldn't have asked for more. There are definitely some things left to do before school starts in a week and a half but I feel pretty ready for it. For the adventures it's going to bring. Good and bad.
