a lot of people keep telling me that summer is almost over...and i hate thinking about that! even though we still have a whole month i still hate the feeling of knowing that school is gonna start up again soon. so i've decided that i am going to make the best of each day...not like i didnt before...but i'm gonna plan stuff and hang out with people as much as i can. Its gonna make the summer last longer...and thats always a good thing! cuz summer = happiness! Work is also winding down for me...and its bittersweet. I loved working this summer, and i loved my staff and i loved the kids more than nething...but its gonna be sorta nice to sleep in and just relax...plus i still have a crapload of summer reading to do, so its gonna give me some time to do that! lol I got evaluated the other day by baird, steel, auger, and pelcher and let me tell u...I'M AWESOME! lol and i'm not just saying that...but they said that i was one of the best 1st yr counselors and that i work really really well with all of the kids...which made me really happy..and auger and baird have been working parks and rec for 8 or 9 years, and they laughed and told me that they deff would love to have me back next year and that i'm gonna turn into one of them and be there forever...which i'm not gonna lie, i totally wouldnt mind at all! Know the feeling when someone u though didnt really care too much about what u do pays u a compliment!?! yeah, well my cousin Rachel has worked with me this yr @ fun camp and she told my aunt that i'm awesome with the kids, and that it just seems natural for me to be working with them, and i'm not gonna lie, it made me really happy. We havent gotten along all that well in the past, and i think this job deff helped us bond and stuff, and i dunno its just cool. Ok..so on another note, ive been thinking a lot about how i feel about certain people and certain situations, and i started to get really angry with myself for not being able to tell people how i feel. I wish it was really easy and that u could tell neone nething u felt like it, and they wouldnt get mad at you, and u wouldnt have to look like a fool after some stuff u say...but life isnt that easy and expressing ur feelings most deff is not that easy either. But whatev...maybe someday i'll learn. only one more thing i wanna comment about, so friday night i slept at bris house and we were gonna go to bed at around 12, but then we started talking, and we just kept talking and talking, and pretty much we didnt stop til like 6 when we decided to straighten our hair! lol it was a lot of fun...and i didnt think that i had that much to catch up on, but apparently we totally did! so it was awesome and then we ate some cereal in her driveway and waved to passing cars and then went with james to work @ the fruit palace til like 12 and after that i went home and took a 6 hr nap! it was nice! lol ok, i'm done now, later kids! *Leen-Ben* ps. I HEART MY FRIENDS MORE THAN LIFE ITSELF....THANKS FOR BEING AWESOME!!!
