Hard to believe that summer is almost over. Compared to last summer, this one has been drastically different. Last summer was spent working on CS projects and constantly attempting to expand my overall experience and reading more and more articles and such. Hanging out with friends constantly, and trying to save money.
This summer, I spent most of my time with my girlfriend, there was hardly a single day we didn't see each other. It' interesting how priorities shift when you find someone you care for deeply. That being said, all was not lost for CS projects, I worked on a website with a friend and its in the late stages of being able to be deployed. I crafted a small helper program to assist me in an internship I got this summer. I worked hard (mostly) and was rewarded with one of the most profitable summers I've ever had. That being said, my accounts are low right now compared to previous summers, but I did technically make more money this summer than the last two.
Last night I hung out with some friends and smoked a new tobacco that they had in their hookah. It was really good stuff, expensive at 12.50 for a tin, but smoked long and didn't become gross after a while like many other tobaccos. We played with a motorcycle helmet, lovingly called the smoking helmet and did what was called 'ghosting' and pretty soon we were all extremely light headed and being rather silly. It was a nice relaxing time though. Fell asleep on the couch to dragons fighting humans in reign of fire, and woke up (unfortunately) to Rat Bastards. I left at that point, before the man known as Skeeter lit the marsh on fire.
Today I have the options of frisbee or basketball, both give a good workout, I'm not sure which one I should do. I also introduced my friends to Rock-Paper-Scissors-Pushup last night, which was a fun time. I want to start working out and being healthier. This summer, I didn't buy myself lunch for work and most of the time had popcorn for lunch. So I didn't really get to much health into my system, and I didn't get to go running like I did last summer. I miss feeling like I'm bettering my body in some way, so I think I'll start working out again soon. At least doing push-ups and sit-ups.
I've grown closer to some of my friends this summer as well, probably because I didn't get a chance to hang out with as many people this summer, I ended up hanging out with one main group and occasionally seeing other people. Out of this main group, one of the people I just considered a good friend, became a really great friend. Good talks lasting into the middle of the night help strengthen a friendship thats for sure.
Exciting news in my life, I have an internship! Well, I was doing an internship with a sub contractor of buy.com, but that was from home and was on my own time. So it didn't really feel like a job so much as a nice way to pass the time every now and then and get paid for it. BUT. My former roommate recommended me to his supervisors as a replacement when he leaves his summer internship, and I interviewed and a week later I got a call back. Hired! I'm so excited that I'm going to have an awesome paying internship that is going to help build up my resume even more!
There are so many things I want to do this semester, running two organizations, an internship, and a full time schedule are going to be hard. But I think it will be the best semester yet!
