Wrap up

I just got back from the only personal vacation I've taken since March. I went to Texas with a friend to see someone who will be going abroad for the next academic year and will miss my freaking graduation.

Texas. Oh the Southwest. How I love thee.

I was born in a desert and have developed a love for the heat, I crave sunshine and that feeling when you sweat and all your skin gets super moisturized and it's awesome. So after being away from the California heat for a very long time, I really appreciated my brief time spent in Texas to relive my love for Cali.

In all honesty, we didn't do too much, I was the only one up for the heat really, so a lot of time was spent indoors watching tv and movies and chilling. Don't get me wrong, that was cool too, but I really like being outdoors and soaking in the sunlight. We did however spend a wonderful afternoon at the botanical gardens, complete with ridiculous pictures and plenty of fun. We also had lots of Sonic (if you don't know, don't even ask, it's just awesome) and then made dinner one night which was a big success.

The trip was great, but sad, cause it's the last time I'll be seeing a good friend of mine til January. I'm not a very emotional person, with certain exceptions, and goodbyes are one. I have a fear that people will leave me, and so goodbyes aren't the funnest. And I really don't like crying, especially in public.

I just got back and somehow I start school on Monday, which really freaks me out. I'm not ready for school to start, to write research papers and deal with people back on campus. I'm not ready for it to be real that people have graduated/gone abroad and won't actually be here for my last year. I'm not ready for summer to end. I'm not ready.

On the plus side, I feel like I grew a lot this summer. I've learned a lot about myself and other people and I feel like I've solidified relationships that mean the most to me and done away with others that I don't need in my life. So hopefully I'm on to better times and a great last year here at Oberlin.

OMG school.
