After the cabin we didn't lay low for long because less than a week later was the Joan Jett concert. That has to have been the best night of my life. I was high off the music while the girl in front of me was high off of LSD or something. Its okay though, I was feeling the love also. Joan Jett really connected with the crowd. I could have sworn we looked straight into each others eyes.
For a week it was just me, and maybe a few get-togethers here and there. Then I was off to my MawMaws' house for a few days. One of the days I spent with my two younger cousins Delany and Isabel. Delany is 12 and Isabel is 8.... I think. That day we spent the day up at lake Michigan. The weather was so hot but the lake was really cold, this created a fog that rolled over the beach for most of our stay. It was beautiful. I even played in the water.
After that, the next week I started drivers ed. This lasted three weeks. The class went from 8 am to 10. It was boring and surprisingly difficult in some areas. I passed. For the second week of drivers ed I also had band camp. This means my day went from 8 am to 4 pm. Longer than a school day. Band camp was uneventful this year because we can no longer do a field show and alot of the fun seniors graduated. I guess its my turn to be fun. The third week of drivers ed was finishing up and I had my first Sax Lesson and started getting alot more hours for work.
In the first two weeks of August I was over in New Jersey and New York. The first week I was hitting the streets of NYC with my Aunt Alison and the second week I was doing all sorts of what-nots with my cousins Kimberly (19) and Liza ( Just a few weeks older than me, 16). We picked up and organized trash up at McGleens race track and I tagged along while they worked the sailboat races. I also visited my other Grandparent; Grammy and Grandy in Corning, NY. The one thing I really wish I would have done when I was up there was to spend more time with them. I find them very interesting to listen to and they have so many stories and facts packed away in their brains that I think its good for them to let it out. I also look up to them alot because they have done so many great things in their life time that it makes everyone else, even the president look under achieved. I am not stretching the truth either, they are so amazing. Grandy designed the very tea pot I used to heat up my tea tonight. He has biked many miles, I would love to go on a bike ride with him. Any ways I could right a book about them. Going on....On my way home I drove for about 500 miles going on average 85 mph dominating the left lane. It was great.
The last few weeks have gone by so fast. I mainly just caught up with all my friends, worked, and road my bike. Other than the day of Ke$ha the whole summer I had not been truly sad. I had an end of the summer party which I hope that people had fun at. At the party there was plenty of food, badminton, music, and games. But it was a little weird because I had invited two different groups of people and I just couldn't get them to mesh. It was the strangest thing. So I insisted on us all playing Apples to Apples. That was a good ice breaker, but once the game ended people still didn't really mesh. Thats ok I guess. I like them all, but will never leave my main group. Tomorrow ( or should I say today) Is my last day of summer. I am free until 3:30pm then I am off to work. So cheers to a great year, a great summer, and hopefully another great year ahead.
Cheers! *sips last of my tea*
