Coming to an end...

I hope as summer draws to an end and school starts up that everybody has made the most of it.

In my last few weeks of summer before returning to college, I'm looking back upon my summer and remembering.

Just last week I returned from the East Coast with my dad. He owns his own semi truck and was hired by a company who was hired by The Home Depot headquarters to go and make manufacturing repairs to carts. It was a two man job, hence why I went along. Horrible. I honestly, ugh, worst job I've ever had! It wasn't the actual job, it was the majority of people we had to work with, being confined in an extremely small space with two people when both of us were out in hot humid weather from morning until after the sun went down, Boston rush hour traffic absolutely SUCKED! (Thanks for the warning AFTER the fact, David...) and being dirty for two, sometimes three, days in a row.  Best part of the whole trip was when we took off a Sunday and went to Hershey Chocolate World in Hershey, PA.

We ended up leaving with over $100 worth of chocolate! On top of making our own chocolate bars, packaging Hershey Kisses... Seriously, it's almost as great as Disney World! Every man, woman, child, EVERYBODY needs to go some point in their life! Unless you're allergic to chocolate, then don't, because there is so much chocolate you'd probably go into anaphylactic shock just walking in the doors.


During those two weeks, the family I babysit for actually asked me if I'd like to run a 5K mud run with them.... I'm not a runner, in any sense of the word, but guess who's doing a 5K mud run in a little over a week! I may just die... Wish me luck! 


The rest of the summer I've spent babysitting the kids. I love them almost as much as I love my little sister :) The summer's also been spent getting computers fixed at MOA, unpacking just to find out we're moving again, barely a week before I have to move back into school! and conversing with my new  roommate, she's an exchange student from England! :D I was so SO excited when I found that out since my great friend Jess and her sort of knew each other. I'm looking forward to meeting her on the 21st and spending time together.  Sounds like we may be planning a weekend to Canada while she's here! 

Oh, and the very first week of classes, I've gotta leave early so I can make it home for my dad and step mom's wedding... because that will totally look good to my new professors. Well, that's life for you I guess.
