*The summer has certainly come and go much faster than I would have ever expected. Even as a child, summer vacation seemed to drag on forever; perhaps it was due to the fact that I attended a summer camp comprised mostly of incessantly spoiled, bratty, and over all rude children, who, eventually turned out to be, the same type of people who made my days in high school that much more miserable. I always seemed to dread summer, no matter how much I destained school. Whether it was the unruly children in my camp group, my on going weight gain (I seemed to gain the most weight during the summer--without a doubt due to the 'snack shed' we had at camp and later a result of the fries and tomato soup (to name a few things) at Kutz sleep-away camp), or my final days as a councilor, miserable because I was working with younger children who, more times than not, would stick unforseen things up their noses, summer time was always met with a bit of negativity. Luckily, I've moved on from that. Instead of scoffing at days laying out on the beach, attempting at my poor excuse for a tan, I welcome it with open arms. And nothing beats curling up in a well ACed coffee shop with a book or two that you've been trying, yet failing, to finish during the school year. Summertime now means visiting friends and family for a longer period of time than three weeks. And while I still find running, and doing any sort of sport, during the summer to be incredibly difficult, I have mostly over come that with the help of a gym and summer league (when I played) two nights a week. Needless to say, this summer was six weeks of well deserved relaxation and the new school year is certainly met with an open mind.
*A few bits and bobs here:
-Spent the weekend here in Nottinghill and attended the Nottinghill Carnival for the first time; such an incredible experience! Probably would have enjoyed myself a bit more had I been able to drink (stupid medication--at least I'm done with that). Overall, great time!
-More pictures taken with my new, and incredible, camera. I'll post some on here and the rest on facebook.
-Paris with Adam in three weeks. So excited! And congrats to my cousin and her, now, fiance! Can't wait to see both of them in three weeks when I visit!
-Must be off! More later :)
