Oh my, it has been awhile. So long, summer. It's been real. You truly are a trixy little minx though. You tempt me through the spring, and suddenly you're here! It's wonderful and beautiful. I feel like I have been reunited with an old friend when you suddenly arrive. We spend a few short weeks together, and all of a sudden you're packing your bags, heading for the southern hemisphere. Really, summer? You're going to play me like this? AGAIN?
Ah well, all good things must come to an end I suppose. And now I get to start this school year with money, a little tan (plus freckles!), and a peaceful mind. I know I'll be absolutely crazy in about two and a half weeks, but right now, I'm looking forward to school. I can't wait to move into my apartment. I'm pumped for classes. I'm even excited about band. (Wait, did I just say that?) But most of all, I'm looking forward to seeing my friends. I just love them so much. And with these kids, I can really say that I feel like they love me too. I walked into the band room yesterday as everyone was finishing up with uniforms (Sorry again that I couldn't come help out guys! I'll be super involved during the year, I promise.) and everyone just yelled "BETH!" and I got hugs and smiles and oh it just made me feel so much better. By the end of the school year I was SO DONE with everyone and everything. But a summer with the family (both immediate and from high school) has rejuvenated me.
I'm ready guys. This semester is going to kick my ass. But I'm going to kick it's ass worse. WATCH ME NOW!
