Summer's Here!

Yesterday was my final day on "the bottom half" and today is the first day of vacation. We recieved our yearbooks yesterday, and had adequate amount of time for signing, and then David and I headed out discing. He's still really good, and I'm improving. Then, after figuring out that Snobiz doesn't open until 4pm (does anyone know if that changes in the summer?) we got Freezi's at Fazolis and hung out at the park. Again, more fun. Ryan and Jason met us there, and they are two very funny guys.

Last night then was the graduation ceremony at schoool. It was really nice. I had heard that in earlier years it had been "waaay too long" and "extremely hot in the gym" but I felt neither was true. Somehow, they were able to have over 400 students process in and out, hand out diplomas one-by-one, and listen to 4 speeches (3 students plus Barry O.) and it was done by 7:40. It started at 6pm. That is really good time. Altogether, I really enjoyed it. The only bad thing about it is that I won't see those great people much (at all?) next year.

Christina and I went for our first official run of the summer to jump-start our running "program" that we tried to succeed with last year. I am feeling really good about it this year, because I know we are both totally capable. This morning was really nice, the weather was gorgeous! I really look forward to this time with Christina because I love that girl, and it's a great chance for good conversation!

This weekend is going to be busy with the italian relatives and various graduation parties. I'm excited though. I kind of feel like next week really starts the summer though, officially, because it will be less chaotic around here. Wow, I'm just so excited for all of summer.

Lifest Countdown: 34 days

Have a wonderful day!
