The past 48 hours have consisted of very little sleep, some fun, but even more frusteration. I have found that when I am silent, I often have so much to say. Tonight was one of those situations. But at the end of the day, I still love FOCUS, and am happy that I decided to coordinate. This have been so crazy recently, and will continue to be crazy until the 31st. There have been quite a few surprises so far though, and I'm sure many more around every corner.

On a quasi-related note, I give thanks for emails from friends that have the ability to remind you what's really important in life. Thats it for now.

Sometimes you hope that they're talking about you, when deep down inside you know they're not.

Haha, and in retrospect, a lot of times it's the other way around... all in all, telepathy would be a great super power to have sometimes.

No longer a teen!!!

So it's been a while, hasn't it? There were a few times that I sat down fully intending to write something, and then I felt like there wasn't really anything worth writting, so I got up again. There really isn't too much to right about right now, but I have some extra time.

I'm back in "The Neck" right now. Julie and I drove down on friday afternoon... tomorrow she leaves for Geneva where she's going to be abroad for the entire year. I have this sneaking feeling that I'm going to start to cry at the airport when I drop her off. She is my best friend from school after all, and I can be such a mush ball sometimes, but i'll try to resist the urge.

I'll actually be in NJ for this entire week. It's about time for a week off, and my birthday is on friday (no longer a teen!), and I want to be home for my birthday. The plan as of now is to go to the beach on friday, but according to Nicole, it's supposed to rain all week. I certainly hope not. I've only been to the beach once this summer, which is just plain pathetic. Well, not pathetic. I just love the beach and the water, and I'm sad that I've only been to the ocean once so far. So lets all pray for no rain.

That following Sunday it's back to Boston for FOCUS crunch time. When I get back there's only going to be 7 more days until the leaders arrive, and 10 more days until the freshman arrive. Can we say nervous breakdown? I only have 2 more days to schedule for the groups that I am in charge of, so it's not that bad. But we still have to do tee-shirts, and finish churches, and figure out where we're going to go bulk food shopping and what not. Ahhhh... okay, breathing...

I can't believe how quickly this summer has gone by, it's absolutely insane. Not to mention the fact that I'm half way done with college, which is a completely ridiculous thought. No point stressing out about it now I guess, for its time to go and...
