Well, let me just say that summer in college is a lot different from summer in high school. 
There are no requirements or anything, just a time to relax and enjoy yourself. Of course, I came into the summer with some plans: get a tan, read some books, work on some art, make money, live it up with my friends. Pretty much everything has fallen short. It's a bit depressing, but I mean, "the best laid plans of mice and men oft go awry."
Why have they gone wrong? It has rained pretty much everyday for the past month. 
Even if we get some sun, it will rain right after. So mainly I've gone to the beach twice (I went once a week last summer, since I live 15 min away), and this is devastating; I love the beach. As for reading books, mainly I don't know which books to read (I have a few, so this might change a bit, thankfully). I haven't had a ton of time to work on art, unfortunately. I have 
been working, but they've been cutting everyone's hours (stupid economy). And lastly, some of my friends have just completely cut me out of their lives (I guess that just happens sometimes in college).
Of course, I have had a lot of fun this summer so far. I've been using my old 35mm film camera a lot, and I love the pictures I'm getting. 
It's 
really nice and artistic. And I've been riding my bike a lot, which is nice. Also, some of my friends from Hopkins came up to visit, and we went to New Hampshire to visit my friend Bri (where I met the nicest baby calf ever). It was nice for them to actually see where I come from and see that they did have fun.
Anyway, I'm gonna cut this post short, since I got my wisdom teeth out a few days ago, so I'm kinda groggy, and I just got back from work, and there's another day tomorrow. So, hope all is well, and that everyone is enjoying their summer, make the best of it, you'll miss it soon enough! And Happy Fourth of July!
