Here
it comes- Big as freight train, loud like a stagecoach. Coming around the
corner….. School! No, no! It can’t be time yet. I’m not ready! Summer is
slipping away. So many things I still want to do-
1. Hang
out with friends more.
2. Have
more sleepovers.
3. Ride
my horse more. I didn’t even get out for one trail ride this summer! I am
ashamed!
4. Write
additional blog posts, including one about my road trip to Ohio.
5. Get
super fit. Ha!
6. Get
a tan. Ha!
7. Write
more poems.
8. Write
more in general. I have so many great ideas.
9. Read
some the novels I have collected in a box. It’s a BIG box.
If
anyone wonders why I don’t respond to their comments or posts, school is the
reason why. The summer went by so fast.
List
if things I did manage to get done-
1. I
read a lot. I finished a few classic books like. “The Promise” (sequel to Chiam
Potok’s “The Chosen”), “Wuthering
Heights”, and “A Doll’s House”.
Then
for good measure I read a couple recently published fictional books, “Full
Disclosure” and I am almost finished with “Mozart’s Last Aria”.
2. I
did get to hang out with my friends some.
3. Watched
“Sherlock”.
4. Watched
my sister perform in one of her plays after working so hard.
5. Watched
two of my other friends perform a difficult classical play and pull it off with
elegance and poise.
6. Sang
in front of a group twice with my closest friends. (I still haven’t recovered
from stage fright)
7. Learned
a lot about myself and how I respond to difficult situations. Always a good
thing, right?
8. Discovered
some new interests in myself that might lead to a career or volunteer work.
9. I
traveled a lot and saw family members that I never met.
10. Took
lots of pictures.
11. Thought
about my friends whenever I went on my trip(s).
12. Discovered
that I love the Everly Brothers even more than I thought. :)
13. Went
to an extra special friend’s birthday party.
Hope everyone had a good summer and I wish you luck
with the upcoming school year and all your academic endeavors!
