Summer's over, and I'm out of the woods. What a journey! I had a really fun time at camp, one of the best seasons I've ever had. Nothing horrendous happened to me aside from a camper going nuts and throwing a ceramic fish at me, but I caught it like a ninja so it was fine. Plus it made for a good story.
The trip to England was amazing! Joey took me on a tour that included the meccas of Harry Potter culture, namely Platform 9 3/4 at King's Cross and the Millenium Bridge, which the Death Eater's destroyed in the Half Blood Prince movie. Highlights also included Romeo and Juliet at the Globe Theater and a trip to Jane Austen's house. I touched her writing desk on the sly, despite the giant "Do Not Touch!" sign. Maybe some of her mojo will rub off on me.
On the downside, things did not work out with the guy I've been seeing. I was really torn up at first, but after a lot of prayer and tears I realize that it's for the best. Both of us are busy, he excruciatingly so, and so it's best that we take some time on our own. So now I'm truly single for the first time in three years. Weird...
All in all, the summer was a great adventure for me. Exciting things happened, fun things happened, sad things happened. Now it's off to school, and I'm starting with a completely clean slate. I don't know what's ahead or who I'm going to meet, but chances are the next chapter will be as full of surprises as the last one.
