Summmer 2009 Reflection

Summer 2009, sheesh where to start!

Well, firstly, I loved it. The ups.. and the downs.

Technically you'd start school in September and end in June. For me, I missed two course credits for Art and English, and missed my deadline. I had backed down in May, so my summer kinda started in May. It sucked big time, because I worked really hard on the classes.

There was a bunch of drama in June. I got back with a boyfriend that had cheated on me, thinking he had changed when it might not have been the best idea. He didn't cheat again, as he wouldn't dare, but we just didn't work out. I gave up a semi-good relationship with one of my closest friends in the process. I've felt guilt ever since.

July was a good month. Things got better when the fourth hit. We held a BBQ, I had some nice conversation, and watched the Macy's Fireworks Show on TV. Our city's fireworks aren't until mid-July when the carnival takes place. They had some new surprises for us like giganticccc heartttsss EXPLODING within the sky!! Yes, you have to be that enthusiastic about fireworks. The carnival was great. I went with my friend Emily. We didn't go on any rides that were too fast (*cough*) or too high. There was what we called a "kiddie coaster", we thought it was harmless... until we took a bumpy ride. It went around the track possibly 80mph, and up and down. Uncool.

It took a while for August to take me off to Spokane, Washington to visit family friends, and then to Sandpoint, Idaho for our family vacation. Sadly I got sick, but I recovered fast. Summer besides vacation and the little things here and there such as shopping, jet-boating, and hanging out with friends was pretty lousy and boring. I couldn't wait to go back to school.

What I will remember most from Summer 2009: Going jet-boating and getting SOAKED from the water, eating delicious burgers in Portland, Powell's books, renting a house in Idaho, bubble baths and swimming in the lake, cigs with Megan, carnival with Emily and eating a box of 12 donuts straight with Elli. Spending every night on the phone with Jeremy, and pulling all-nighters. But most of all, letting loose and being a teenager.
