It has been entirely too long since I've posted on here and I apologize, as I'm sure you are all heart broken from my long absence.
To start, I wasn't able to go to NY this summer. My grandfather has congestive heart failure and had to be rushed to the emergency room. My mother and I flew out there on May 11th to be with him. He is one of two people I know that I truly look up to and admire. So it was really hard seeing him in the hospital bed with a breather attached. Luckily though he improved very quickly, and is doing much better now. I had to leave to get back and work so I could pay my bills that were due at the beginning of june. I've basically been working ever since then, it's sad how quickly a summer can disappear.
I turned 21 in June and had a great time doing it. I wanted to plan a big b-day bash, but didn't really have time to do so. I went to a few dance lessons, 4 total I think, this summer, and had a blast doing that too. The girl I met who is one of the teachers moved to Atlanta at the end of July so we weren't able to be anything more than friends. She's certainly a great friend to have though, and hopefully we'll stay in touch. Also in June my old biology TA agreed to meet me for some coffee, and we had a blast. We went back to her place and ended up staying up all night watching movies and such. I've decided though that she is the queen of mixed signals, which I thoroughly despise. (the mixed signals, not her) She left for poland for the entirety of july to dig in medieval cemetaries there. She's now back in the states, but I've not heard from her. She owes me food for helping her move, so I'm going to be hounding her 'til I hear from her :-D Speaking of moving, when my mom called and told me that we flying out to see my grandad later that afternoon I ended up with only 4 hours to do what I had planned on doing in 3 days. So needless to say I had to throw some things away that wouldn't fit in the van, and I left the apartment in a horrible mess. I was so afraid they were going to charge me out the ass to clean it, but I never heard from them.
July wasn't nearly as eventful as June, but the first week of it sure was. My friend's birthday was on the 4th so we went out drinking on the third, and he ended up going back with his girlfriend around 10 or 11 i think. I had a few beers in me at that point so I didn't want to drive so I just hung out and ended up flirting with the bartender til last call. I could write an entire post about that whole deal, but I'll save that for later. Anyway, the next day I went and celebrated the 4th with my Aunt and Uncle at their son's (my cousin's) house. I think I was hungover (kinda sorta, I've not really been hungover per se, but I certainly was feeling all the alcohol I drank) for the majority of that week, yay for being 21 :-)
Summer school started up on July 10th and that's been keeping me pretty occupied. My last class is tomorrow, and I don't have anything more to do for it so I'm basically through, aside from sitting through everyone else's presentations tomorrow. Oh, and apparently I'm attracted to my teachers, or maybe just ladies that are a few years older than I. My motivation pysch teacher is gorgeous, the most amazing green eyes I have ever seen! I really hope to photograph her at some point. She and I have been communicating via e-mail so we'll see how that goes now that she is no longer my teacher.
"It seems like I have the trappings of a man-whore, but I'm going to rationalize it and say that I'm not a man-whore because I genuinely care about all my ladies. I have a feeling this is going to be an interesting summer." If only I had known just how interesting it was going to be. As far as me being a man-whore, I realized this summer that is just redundant. Evolutionarily speaking, it is advantageous to men to sleep with countless women (and advantageous for women to be 'hard to get'). So this could explain my feelings for so many girls, maybe this promiscuous drive is just finding an outlet through less animalistic means. I refuse to be like so many guys that just view women as a means to an end, a piece of meat for their enjoyment, a mere object. So I'm still trying to decide where I need to draw the line for what I will and won't do.
I think that's plenty for you to chew on for now. I hope all of yoru summers have been wonderfully fantastic, and I look forward to hearing from you!
Cheers!
