Up until recently, I was very much in the summer mode- just working, relaxing, hanging out. Of course, I’m still in this mode, but it’s becoming more and more undeniable that college is fast approaching. My contentment with just living in this moment is coming to a screeching halt as everyone I encounter seems to have an interest in my plans for college and in my level of excitement on this subject. It’s a big transition and I’m excited, but I am nervous for the school work to come. I really hope I’ll be able to handle the work load and manage my time. Other than that, I’m excited to meet new people and explore Philly. But I can wait.
With that said, I’m really glad I have my Posse to share this experience with. Since our recent retreat to Thompson Island, we’ve gotten very close, and I realize how lucky I am to have such a secure support system for the next four years, and maybe even beyond that.
Speaking of the retreat, having spent a couple nights on a woodsy island, I’ve found out that I have some sort of mosquito allergy. Out of all things to be allergic to.. mosquitoes? Gettingsbug bites are already quite irritating enough, without the added swelling. I guess I’ll have to brave the rest of my summer with layers, anti-itch cream, bug spray, and antihistamines. Joyous.
