Last Day of Summer

Today is my last day before school starts again. I am back at school now in the exact same dorm and room that I was in last year, only this time by myself. I have very mixed feelings about summer coming to an end. On the one hand overall it was boring and a disappointment.

Tried to get a job and failed miserably. Stuck dealing with my rampant conservative father and my idiot step-brother. Didn't get to spend nearly as much time with my friends because I had no way to get there. Sleep didn't really happen for a reason I haven't quite put my finger on and I didn't really have anything to say and thus I didn't blog. On the other hand there where some exciting things that went on.

My activism didn't completely go by the way side. I went to Socialism 2010 in Chicago which was amazing. Got involved with the ISO in my state. Protested the National Organization for Marriage (NOM) when the came to my state and we out numbered them by a ton! Shouting things like "YOU NEED A HUG A BIG GAY HUG!" and other awesome chants. Made some pretty awesome new friends from the ISO and got to know more the friends I already had. Then there was the last 9 days that I got to spend with this girl that I really like and who likes me back. 9 days wasn't enough and ended way to soon, but they were still the biggest highlight of my summer. Originally we were only going to spend 3 days, the weekend she moved here, with each other. She took me home that Monday after those 3 days and we were talking online after and decided 3 days WASN'T enough and 4 hours later I was with her again. I am so happy we did, I wouldn't change those 9 days for anything.

Those 9 days made me want summer to go for another month or two, but now its time to get back to school and my life outside of her. Once classes start tomorrow and I start having things to do things will get easier. I am really excited for my classes and all the clubs I am still involved with this year. Happy to see my lovely family here at school again. The new semester looks to be a very good one. Despite the boredom, lack of job and dealing with my family I will look back on this summer very fondly and with happy thoughts, but now its time for me to get back to the world again and continue to move my life forward.
