in two days i'll be leaving for vcu. and i feel like this summer was ripped away from me. all year at tech i was looking forward to summer, and now its over. i was hoping it would be longer, and a little more like last summer, when every day was our day to hang out. any time. any place. we could pack up and go anywhere we wished, because none of us really had serious jobs or other commitments. and at the end of the summer, i wasn't so much looking forward to classes starting, but felt like i had sufficiently relaxed and was ready for something new.
this summer most of us had real jobs that required a lot of our time, and in order to hang out we had to compare detailed schedules and make time. people change, and thats only natural, but those of us who kept in touch did so because we made the effort to. in a way it showed me who my real friends are...but at the same time i wish we were still younger with more time on our hands and less responsibility.
i guess this is what growing up is all about. yeah, we made more money and learned to really savor our days off and time spent together. unfortunately, i feel like i spent the whole summer working 3 jobs when i should have been relaxing a little more and spending a little more time with those who matter most to me.
