the End of Another Summer

While one more summer of my life has ended at a speed faster than that of a chemical reaction with a rapid rate, another academic year is beginning. Though the idea of organic chemistry, lab reports, exams, and human anatomy may sound daunting to others, all of these things ground me and bring me back to the real world. In this real world there is no sleeping past 9am on most class days, with the exception of a weekend following a week of heavy work, and there is also not enough time to waste my days reveling in the complete geeky-ness and total brain-numbing-ness of the computer.

Nonetheless, as much as I thrive on last-minute assignments and late-night studies, I always miss the warm summer weather which accompanies so many monumental summer memories. Beer pong, pointlessly driving around, and lounging in the air conditioning, though not so monumental, are all included in my much beloved summer memories. Tennis games are not as frequent in the cold, and most winter days I am forced to cover up my summer tan in numerous layers so that by the time summer comes around again, I am albino-white.



Again, and not surprisingly, I can not sleep tonight. Unfortunately for me, I have work at 10am this morning. At least it is my last day at CVS - until Christmas, that is. And speaking of summer warmth, tomorrow it is supposed to reach 99 Fahrenheit. Tomorrow is not a day for tennis, not like I would have time to play, anyway....
