There's no place like Home

Dear Readers,
I hang my head in shame that it has been so long since I have written. Let me tell you that it was not because I don't love you all, but in this past month I have horribly busy. You see, I stayed in Santa Barbara for a month longer than the rest of my fellow students for summer school. It was a bittersweet experience: I made some great friends, a few that I had never even met before, but I also had to take two horrible classes that I dreaded going to every day. Even though it was hard to say goodbye to my friends, I am glad to finally be at home even if it is only for a couple of days.
On Wednesday my mom and I head out for Iowa; we are going to go visit Julie and Erik. I'm not sure what we are going to do to entertain ourselves there for a week, but I will be bringing many books along just in case. When I get back from that, I'll have lots to keep my busy: camping trips, two weddings, organizing the DVDs, and of course reading. My friends and I have started a club called the "Finer Things Club"; we each picked out two books and we're going to have a rotating schedule to read and discuss these books every 2 weeks. I am very excited about this. Otherwise, my summer is looking pretty open, hopefully I'll have a lot of time to relax and catch up on some things. Peace out!
