It's Summer.

This means the end of another school year. But this ending was different. Because unlike every year before this year, I will not be returning. The cycle has ended. I have graduated. How strange and abstract that statement is and will probably continue to be, maybe even until my first day of college classes. Is it strange that it hasn't hit me yet? I've been grasping for feeling anything but numb about this. Repeatedly telling myself that this is it, I'm going to college. For some reason I am not comprehending this. It's not bad. I'm not distraught, I'm just curious as to why it still seems so far away when literally I will be in San Diego 2 months from now. I just want there to be a resolve to high school and San Jose. Some sort of ending. I thought that ending would be graduation, but it still doesn't feel any different. Maybe it won't.

With summer comes exciting times, of course.
I have dedicated my summer to being basically a nanny (though I am not a fan of that word, it just fits) for a family with two children. I work Monday through Thursday, 8:20 to 5:30. It's been good and it's a wonderful way to earn money for college.
This upcoming week I will not be working. I will be going to Redding to canoe down the Sacramento river. I'm going to Canoe Camp! I thoroughly enjoy canoe camp and I'm excited.

On a final note, I really hope to actually start blogging on a regular basis now. I want to update on summer and college adventures. So hopefully I will be updating at least once a week. We'll see how that goes. :)
