so after talking to my dad the other day, i realized that more than a month of my summer vacation has gone by. after this realization, i proceeded to have a slight panic attack in that i realized that i have done nothing worthy of notice thus far. then my dad pointed out that i have done a ridiculous amount this summer & in order to prove that, made me tell him everything i've done thus far, as well as a recap of my freshmen year at michigan.
to be completely honest, i was super apprehensive about going to michigan. i tried so hard to get away from the troy bubble, but somehow ended up in ann arbor which is like troy central. then i realized that the university campus is so big that in order to see someone, you have to really make an effort to go see them.
what i didn't love: calc three. the desks that came with only half a desk [think dennison & angell hall classrooms], sidewalks that weren't shoveled, and when i got to the bus stop right after the bus had left
what i love: aiv, new life, football games, & just about a million more things
chapter focus week [april 26-may 3]by far one of the best weeks of my life, right up there with all the weeks i've spent at taf. i can't even begin to explain how gorgeous God's creation is, let alone all great the entire week was. it definitely intensified every sort of relationship i had; there were tears & laughter, but also there were memories made.


atlanta [may 4-may 10]so i loved atlanta so much the first time when i went in february that i decided to go back as one last celebration before working the entire summer. it was definitely a lot more chill than the first trip -- a lot more people seeing than sight seeing, but that's what i prefer anyways. :] i rediscovered how terrible i am at minigolf and readdicted myself to sweet tea. as much as i love unsweetened iced tea, i think i love sweet tea more. it is quickly becoming one of my favorite cities, so we'll see what happens with this.


cfw & atlanta were definitely my two big kickoff's to summer. the rest of the time i have been making my way through the entire complete series of gilmore girls once again, a lot of eating, and a lot of having my own dance parties in the car.
as i slowly move into grad party season, i'm excited to see what the rest of the summer has in store. & speaking of the rest of the summer, i can't wait until taf [who's planning on going/who applied for staff?].
peace. love. summer 2008.
let's go.
