Yep, that's right, only four more days until I leave for Texas. On one hand I am very very veryveryvery excited to start a new semester, but I'm also sorry to leave my family and friends in NC. This summer has been fabulous, and I'm sad that it has to come to end.
I haven't written much about my work even though it's taken up a lot of my time. I've had three jobs this summer: I worked as a camp counselor, as a nanny, and as a girl in aflower rosary shop. The counselor job provided all the crazy shenanigans and eternal friendships that can only be found at camp. The nanny job was absolutely horrible. The kids were wild, and my stress levels were through the roof. Once I called my dad in the middle of the day, sobbing because the children had been so vindictive. I've been babysitting since I was twelve, so you can imagine what a bad position I was in. But my last job has been a lifesaver this summer.
Two women I once went on retreat with have opened a catholic bookstore! And I got to work there all summer! Honestly it was the greatest thing; I got to arrange merchandise, do the window display, and even suggest which books to order for the teen section. While I still had the nanny job, the store was my haven, a place where I knew my work was appreciated. It was so relaxing to just dust the crucifixes while listening to hymns in the background. Unfortunately, today was my last day, but my bosses, Kristen and Pam, made my day quite memorable. We had a lovely lunch, and they gave me a gift card, so I could get all the things that I've had my eye on all summer.
I'm also getting my TV fix for the summer. Right now I'm in the midst of the drama at Downton Abbey. I'm really enjoying it, but I'm afraid that when I watch episode after episode of a show, the drama starts to get to me. At the moment I'm really disappointed in Lord Grantham, but I'm desperately in love with Mr. Bates. I've also start getting really dramatic in real life. Poor Joy has been subjected to the most melodramatic texts at the most bizarre times.
Joy and I are savoring our last days together. We made our last pilgrimage to the Goodwill (more on that later). We hiked 6 miles for no good reason, and we had a really nice evening downtown. Admittedly, the Littleton downtown is not very large but armed with milkshakes and a camera, we had a very memorable night out.
Well, it's 1 am, I'm thinking it is time for bed. Night all!
