have a great summer

Not only I did (almost) everything I had planned and always wanted, but I did it with my soulmate :-)

“So many people before me and as many will come after me but right now, at this moment, this is all mine, my own world…”

Suomenlinna has always been a place where I can escape from the ordinariness of daily life. I have a habit of going there around this time every year and just sit on the cliffs, let the sea breeze ruffle my hair and watch the sea spread out before me. I’ve always loved the sea, I feel at ease close to water, the sea is so restless and wild and above everything else – free. I don’t know why but I feel certain affinity with the sea, whenever I’m near water it feels right and I get this “this is where I belong” feeling.

So summer is almost over, September is just a couple of days away (where did the time go?) and it’s time to mark this goal as done. I think I did a pretty good job with this one, summer was full of activities, highs and lows, and I learnt something new about myself again. So not completely wasted three months. :)

Seeing as how school starts tomorrow, I will have to put this goal to rest. I’m glad to say that I had the best summer I’ve ever had this year. Friends, adventures, food, swimming, pictures, new faces, a job, having money…

My sixteenth summer was the best yet. I’m so glad I had these past three months to develop the things I did in myself. I am trying harder to put myself out there more.

After a summer like this I know I can face the school year with a smile. :]

It was a good way to spend the last friday of summer.
I had a great summer, almost as good as last summer.
Even though i didn’t do much i did spend a lot of time with both friends and family and learned some new things about myself in the process. It still hasn’t really hit me that i start school in two days but in a way i am ready to go back. There really is nothing i would change about this summer.

I wanted to make the most of this week, before i go back to all the work at school.

Yesterday, Best Friend came over, AVID meeting.

Today, i got out of the house and walked to the store to buy somethings i needed. Hung out with boyfriend for a bit.

Friday, Bowling Alley

This weekend, enjoy summer while i still can

This weekend was based around my birthday (which is today)
Went shopping yesterday.

Lots of fun
One week of summer left

I was in 3 wonderful places with many different people and it was great. Spend a lot of many, had great new experiences and met a lot of people. Now it”s time to go study for my upcoming exams

4th of July

Lots of fun and hope to do it again some day

I was afraid to go, saying every year that I´m not interested in festivals any more (too old for staying in a tent), but it was great! the atmosphere, concerts and most of all a lot of friends I´ve met there.. it´s never too late to start again :) awesome :)

I am in about third of my plans. Hiking went great – I was in much better condition than the last summer. Ladies trip went sufficiently good – weather was moody and some of our plans were unfortunatelly cancelled, but we still had nice time together. Now there is summer music fest – the more I read about it, the more excited I become! I was there only once and I am really looking forward to it.
More and more frequently it seems to me that this summer is “eraser” – doing things for “the first” time with the new boyfriend, erasing things I did sometime before with the ex. It fills me with a strange feelings sometimes, becasue no matter how I try, one has to unconsciouslly compare. During comparison one has to recall the other one and I would rather not. However, things are going great, and it is all as for the first time.
