Summer Trips : )

Wow, I haven't written in a while.. Here I go:

Honors Symposium at Harding University
I went there to get three hours of college credit in English and to check out the campus because I know my parents want me to go there. I was a little nervous because two weeks would be the longest amount of time I've spent away from home. On top of that, I was going to be spending it with fifty complete strangers.

I spent the best two weeks of my life there!

It was so different from all the other experinces I've had from meeting people. They didn't know anything about me, they were so accepting of people, and they were nice and wanted to have fun. Needless to say, I made some really good friends.
I never ever thought I'd want to go to Harding U, but that trip has made me change my mind... I'm not saying I'm set on going there, but now it's one of my top choices. I'm still keeping my options open. My roommate asked me to be her roommate for freshman year at Harding. I just jumped in and said I would. I've got all senior year to think about it, after all.


Cross Country Camp
I always have a good time on this trip, but it was so different because of the relationships I formed during Symposium. Usually, I feel close to everyone, but I realized that my relationships from Symposium are stronger than most of the ones I have at home... Normally, this would be the highlight of my summer, but too many things have changed.


White Station Jr. High Camp
Honestly, I was counting down how many days I had till I could go home. I didn't really want to be there. I'm not too close to my youth group, but I tried to make the most of it. I was a counselor for the first time and that was an interesting experience, to say the least. I had 8th grade girls. Oh, the drama.... Two girls started crying because one girl thought another girl gave her a dirty look. Are you kidding?? It makes me wonder if my drama was ever that stupid. The days came and went and it was finallly time to go home.

A relief..

To leave church camp....

Something's wrong.

Now I leave tomorrow for a cruise. That should be fun! My best friends and cousin, Meredith, is going, so it'll be a PARTY!

I seem somewhat negative in this post, but really I feel like my summer has been awesome. I'm ready for school to start so I can see everyone again. And I'm really excited about SENIOR YEAR!
