New Chapters

My summer has been filled with joy. It is such a relief considering my last two summers I spent working and shut up in my room. I honestly tried my best to make last summer great or...at least good. It had it's ups and downs (too many to count) and mostly involved working 3 jobs, BUT I do have a few diamonds in the rut such as TEC, strengthening friendships that I think may just last forever (as well as lead me to Boston dying from too much snow in take. I'll be surround with coffee, books, antiques and the best music a store can hold). I got through it though (thank heavens!) and now I am on to opening new chapters in my life.

That isn't to say I haven't any struggles. I still live my life week by week and sometimes day by day. I don't have some grand scheme. I still am trying to live with some things of the past and plan my future all while living in the present. It isn't always easy but that's what friends are for right? To keep us here. It is so refreshing to have certain people in my life. People that are just completely honest and aren't afraid to tell you how it is even if it'll upset you and cause the worst case of passive aggressiveness you'll ever witnessed (I mentioned I'm passive aggressive right?). Well my dears I have just those people in my life. One has been here for a while (sometimes it feels like forever) and one is more recent and is slowly becoming my new best friend (it isn't facebook official yet ;) ).

The more recent addition to my life (Chrissy), has the worldest most beautiful dog (Jade), has a pink scooter (and matching helmet), and believes that everyone exists to make her life easier (not completely true, we just like to tease her). She is also the same person that convinced me attend my sister's graduation (even though my parents didn't go), and she went with me. Did I mention she dealt with my freak out the entire week leading to it? It went well, well as well as could be expected considering. She pushes me even when I dead terrified and when it all becomes too much we decide to go out and forget about the rest of the world. Quite nice actually.

My other amazing and quite flawed (joking!) best friend (Kristen) surprises me all the time. She recently gave the most amazing talk on our last TEC. She makes me laugh more than anyone else and fails terribly at returning my phone calls (okay maybe only this week). There aren't many people I could talk to for 2 hours (or 4 hours) on the phone. She definitely holds the record. When we aren't reading embarrassing things from our past, bantering, or being witty and charming we can be found nerding out and/or becoming obnoxiously competitive while playing the cow road trip game (MY COWS!!!) She isn't a new chapter in my life per say but our relationship can be considered new and improved.

Rugby is and will be (possibly forever) a major part of my life. I'll talk about it until my mouth is duct taped shut. It's currently off season for 15s but that doesn't mean it's on a sabbatical. Quite the contrary, 7s is going on right now and I have recently been talked into going to the practice ( I nearly died last Wednesday). That isn't it though. I'm quite busy putting fundraisers together to fund our team. We had board elections and I was nominated and voted into Fundraising Chair. =)

I've been reading obnoxious amount of books. Everything for Harry Potter to a book that is solely quotes to charming novels such as Love Walked In. It is the life let me tell you =) Who needs sleep when you have books (and Pretty Little Liars)
