But Who's Counting?

I officially have 28 days until I'm back in the 518, but...Read:title! When I really think about it, I have absolutely loved spending the summer with my parents, who lets face it, I barely get to see the majority of the year, and also the lack of school work I've had to do. On another note, I've had a lack of everything to do, which has made me a little stir crazy, which the couple of loved ones of mine know more than well. I've played lots of tennis, played more tennis, worked out, complained about the sick heat, and then watched endless cartoons. A few months ago I was begging for this, but now, it cannot end faster. Possibly the part that has made it hard is the feeling of loneliness. I understand people have lives, and just because at the moment I don't, doesn't mean there's stops, but at the end of the day there's only so much "me-time" I can take.

Looking on to my upcoming junior year, I smile and then have a seizing panic attack because I start to realize how hard it's going to be, and how important it is being the last year I get to show off to my future college. Anyway, I've been seriously stressing out about it for the last few days, but I've got to learn to live in the moment and chill, just as I've had to do with a few other situations this summer, of which I would be nowhere without and that positively get me through every day.

We went over to pack up Caroline and Zach's truck the other day, so that they can drive 14 days across the country and end up in their new life and home of the great state of California. It was a sad departure, but so exciting to look onto something so big for them. It's crazy to watch time fly when you forget to keep track. Did I mention we picked the hottest day by record in Virginia in ten years?




As for now, I have a couple of the best things in my life in the next two years just waiting at my door step, and all I've got to do is stay focused and slowly but surely move the obstacles in front of the door out of the way for my full access. Things seem so far out of reach until you're holding them in your hand, but getting there can be half the fun.
