Summer "Vaca" Indeed

This summer hasn't felt all that eventful. When I take a second to think about it, though, I realize I actually have had a pretty interesting summer.
After working at Rite Aid for a bit, I learned that retail is not, I repeat not, for me. So I did what I knew would make me feel more comfortable for the short amount of time that I will be in Battle Creek: Go back to the day care. Going back has definitely been challenging. I can't believe I only have about five more weeks with my class. I am throwing a goodbye party. I might be back for break though.

I have taken a few trips to EMU. One trip was for an interview with dining services, once to talk to an honors advisor and to sign up for honors classes, and the other was for a tour and to talk to a general ed advisor.

Instead of going to B.93 Birthday Bash, I went up north to see some of my favorite people. Basically Allie, Logan, and myself traveled up to Charlevoix and then Carissa joined us and we went up to some campground in the U.P. I don't remember the camp name, but we got to stay in a cabin and it was awesome. The first night I am pretty sure we just went straight to bed. We got there after 2 AM. So the next morning we got up and Carissa's family was so kind and provided us with breakfast! Then we went on the search for a bugless beach. Guess what. That's impossible. THERE WERE SO MANY BUGS. Oh my gosh. I thought I was drowning in bug. Anyways, we ended up finding a nice little spot to have our picnic. Then we went to a nifty spring where we were surprised by NICOLE! She is so amazing. The spring was beautiful. Then we went downtown and walked around. On the way back to the campground we stopped a few times to take fun pictures and walk to a lighthouse. When we finally got back to the cabin we played poker and watched "Keeping Up With the Kardashians." The most awesome part is that I got Allie, who is on the road to recovery from her third knee surgery, to actually WATCH the show! She is a Khloe lover. The next morning we went fishing! This was my first time and I caught so much! Only one fish I caught was edible. It was so much fun though! Then we headed back down. Shockingly enough, that trip up north was way cheaper than Birthday Bash. And it was more fun.

I see Logan a lot. I don't think we have gone three weekends without seeing each other this summer. This is amazing compared to our usual two months. Oh my gosh. Last time he was here he slept on the floor! I still can't believe it. Ugh. Boys. We have done a few things. We have gone to our first wedding together. We road tripped. He rafted with my family. We sat around all day watching TV/Movies. It has been such a nice alternative to what the usual school year consists of.

I took summer classes! This isn't that big of a deal. I am only taking 7 credits (four of them are physical education classes) but I am really love school and I am so appreciative that I had the chance to take these classes. Statistics is amazing. SERIOUSLY. If anyone has to take a math class at KCC, try to take it with Anderson. He is incredible. He nearly had me convinced I should actually take more math classes. I'm not going to, but he almost got me.

I went on a family "rafting" trip. We just went down the Kalamazoo River. We started in Ceresco (near the post office) and ended in Bridge Park. It was pretty fun. While everyone was relaxing in their tubes, I kayaked. Kayaking was awesome.
