Well, I guess a good place to start would be the fact that I went out of the country for the first time in my life. I went to Ecuador with my school. I'd have to say that this was a once-in-a-lifetime things, and I am so glad that I did it. The first week we did home stays in the capital Quito, went to school, and did touristy things around the capital. Then we went to the Amazon, where we were put into groups, and you had to eat all meals and hike around with these groups. I was the only girl in my group, and I had the time of my life. The group of guys that I was with was totally awesome! They really got me thinking about somethings, and made me realize what I really want in a guy, and that guy just so happens to have been right in front of me for the past 5/6 years. (Sadly, I doubt he thinks of me that way, but you never know, right?) And then we spent a week in the Galapagos on a yacht. This had to be my least favorite part of the trip, but that may just be because I got seasick the first night, I never got to swim, and I thought all of the islands smelt like poop.... If I could do this trip over again, I totally would.
And then I got to go to Walla Walla, Washington and Portland, Oregon with my mom and my little sister. I looked at the U of O, and I really want to go there, but I doubt that I'll be able to get in.
And just a few days later, my family (mom and sisters) took a road trip to Bayfield, WI. We stayed at a friend's condo, and it was absolutely amazing. I went sailing for the first time, among many other firsts on this trip. I really hope to go there again.
But on the down side, I have had some real friend trouble this summer. Everything from a friend not talking to me because I crossed the line by threatening his girlfriend, and now we are talking again, (which makes me SOOOOOOO HAPPY!) to having a friend stop talking to me for no reason, (but I know the reason.... I think) and then having a very close friend write about those closest to them, and not even mentioning me.
I am nothing without my friends, they are my life raft, I don't know what to do with this. I guess I'm not as important to my friends as I thought...
Peace out,
