Summer Sum-up

Well, I am inconsistent. One post and then no more for 7 months. ah well. Now is the perfect time. It's 1:10 am.
I have a had a frightfully exciting summer. I've learned more about people in the last 4 months then I have in at least the last 4 years. Goodness. It's been heartbreaking at times or maybe just heart-wrenching.
To start, I went to Minnesota and my heart was very heavy. So much worry. Too much.
Thankfully in Minnesota there was different worry. It was mostly children. Worry isn't good in general, but it's always good to have variety. Slowly, over lots of driving and contemplating, my heart grew lighter and more adapt to unfeeling conditions. Still, there was minimal sadness when we had to leave. I was glad to be going home to my friends.
Two days of driving led to a week of camp. Oh, how I love jumping from excitement to excitement! Man, was camp an experience. For the first time, a boy voiced the fact that he liked me. That he liked me alot. I was scared to death. Of course, I told him nothing could come of it but a friendship. I knew what my family would say and I didn't know how I felt about him. It was too much for me. He was 18, adopted, very strong, and quirky. What a combo, huh?
He texted once after camp, and then accidentally e-mailed me. Nothing more. At least it's doubtful at this time.
Three more weeks until school. I am filling up on everyone's freetime that will dissipate on September 3rd. Lisa and I have been going all over, and yesterday we spent the night at Hannah's house. Still, by the beginning of school, I'm afraid I'll be lonely, but there is much work to be done! and people to meet and be with and appreciate! So I go in peace for tonight.
Signing off,
