Learning How To Swim

Holy smokes! I did not think that it had been that long since the last time I blogged! May 29th, 2008 and it is now September 17th, 2008. I guess I can be happy that it is still 2008. Reading that last post I can help but laugh at what I talked my expectations for the summer. Working at the nursing home, playing the Sims, and just hanging out around the house were among the things that I discussed. I am beginning to learn that have too many expectations can often lead to disappointment, not that my summer was disappointing. It is just that often times when you expect that something will turn out a certain way, something completely different and unexpected will happen. This is not always disappointing, you just have to go with the flow. But where do I begin now? So much to talk about and only half of a physics class left to type my life away.

Well the summer was pretty amazing, we can start there. I did not end up working at the nursing home, instead I returned to what was familiar to me, catering to the whims and needs to hungry customers. I did not even work there that much, only when they needed me to fill in. So is terms of money making, I believe I spent more than I made.

Much of the summer was spent hanging out with Benjamin and friends. :] Ashley Farner, or should I say Moran, and I hung out quite a bit and caught up on each others lives. Much like old times, when she was just a sophomore in college and I was still in high school. It is strange to think that now I am the sophomore and she is out in the real world getting married and doing things of that nature. O time, where have you gone?!

The summer came and went in a blink of an eye and before I knew it I was packing up my things and heading off to Grove City College, the giant swimming pool of my life. Tennis camp came and went, and when I say went I mean that ship sailed without me on it. It was disappointing considering all of the time and money that went into tennis this summer. I have been thinking about it, and maybe next year I will try again. Maybe this year there was a reason I didn't make it. I am not exactly sure of that reason yet, although I have an idea. I suppose I am just supposed to get involved in other things on campus. I must say that not having tennis certainly frees up a lot of time.

I recently got a job at The Gap at the outlets! My first day is this afternoon actually so I am pretty excited. I have also been working at the bowling alley quite a bit and doing ticket sales at the football games. I am going to try and get involved in a few different things going on around campus because I really need to get out and meet new people and such. I recently talked to my Physics lab T.A. about joining racquetball club so I am going to be adding that to my list of things to do. Hopefully I will meet some decent people through that. I am also continuing my jazz band experience at Grove City College. Which reminds me...I really need to order some new reeds.

Anyways, I am really just not in the mood to blog anymore and really not in a good mood at all actually. So I am going end it here. Hopefully I will find time to write another one sometime soon, but as always...No promises.
