I just realized when I got home how many clothes I have. (Too many, too little. This is the constant debate.) I got by this summer with only one suitcase and a garment bag. I do feel a little restricted with two pairs of jeans, but as soon as I can dye the ones I stained, I’ll have three again.

I’ll be happy to see things I didn’t need this summer like my skirts and comfy shoes again, but I’ve found my fears of having too few clothes are silly.

I have also learned how to deal with people I don’t know, and that’s been my favorite life-lesson this summer. I used to be terribly afraid of public speaking. Now…I can’t say I don’t get nervous, but I don’t sweat and stutter anymore, either.

I’m glad this summer has been good, now I can’t wait for it to finish.
