So I don't have too much to write about at the moment since I'm currently home but I thought I would update anyway so I keep this thing going. I spent the past two weeks in New York working at a summer camp and staying at my cousins' house. I worked with 30 6-7 year olds with my 3 other counselors. I thought I didn't like kids, and although they definitely made me angry sometimes, they definitely surprise you and I think I changed my mind. They literally say the most ridiculous things and don't even care or realize what they are saying and I think it's so great because that kind of genuineness is hard to come by these days. It got very hot towards the end of the second week but we managed with mostly indoor activities and swim time, and thankfully it has gotten cooler (or should I just say less hot) than it was. I got to spend a lot of time with family which is good because I don't really get to see them very often since I live 2+ hours away and am in school. The weekend I was there though I travelled to Arts fest which was also great because I got to see my friends from school that I haven't gotten to see for a very long time. The art was nice, but the festivities were, as always, the best part of the trip there.
Tomorrow at 3 am we will begin our journey to Lake Tahoe and San Francisco and I am so, so, so very excited to spend my time there with my family and two of my best, most longtime friends. I'm sure it will be a wonderful time.
This summer I think has been one of if not the best yet and I think it's due in part to the fact that I've spent it just doing things that make me happy. If an opportunity presented itself, I took it with no hesitation and I am so happy and proud that I was able to do this. That's what life should be about, taking the chances that present themselves to you; doing things as they come and not planning too far in advance. Even though this is my last summer of "freedom" and I need to get a real internship next summer, I'm not planning on letting it stop me. Weekends are short, but not too short.
Stay happy, people.
