a new school year begins

ready already?

Three more days??? Where did my summer go? Ah yes, i spent it toiling away at my summer internship. Actually, work was pretty great this summer. My co-workers were cool and I learned a lot... well I learned a lot during the first 8 weeks, then the CVS conversion happened and we all became work drones. Everything was so crazy, our main goal was just to get through the day. I made lots of moolah though and racked up over 500 intern hours!!

Do not fear, I did not work my entire summer away. A few weekend getaways here and there kept me sane. There was Palm Springs, Vegas x 2, Catalina, San Francisco, and the general rowdy merriment one has with friends during the rare free time. Catalina was mucho fun. Witness my first horse back riding experience:



The hilarious part that we were not prepared for was that horses just drop a deuce whenever they feel like it. No warning! They'll just be trotting along merrily and then out of the ass, there it is! Totally gross, but still cracked us all up. Kaylah can give you a hand demonstration next time you see her. A quick look at my summer goals:

• eat at all my favorite restaraunts (KB, JB, etc.)
  
• gym at least every other day (ha.ha. how i laugh)
  
• finish the horde of books i've stashed in my suitcase from boston:
  Harry Potter (1-4)
  Wicked
  The Devil Wears Prada
  Digital Fortress
  Something Blue
  Why We Get Sick: The New Science of Darwinian Medicine
  The Red Queen: Sex and the Evolution of Human Nature
  The Book of Salt
  A History of the Wife
• also to buy and consume: Angels and Demons (i finished the Da Vinci Code!), remaining Harry Potters, Confessions of an Ugly Stepsister... and whatever else amuses me at the bookstore.
  
• clean my room (old and new) and find stuff to give/donate (i WILL do this before i leave)
  
• spend time with the people and mi familia (this wasn't too hard)
  
• fancy up a good portion of my scrapbook (although, just realized all my pictures are in boston)
  
• new eyeglasses
• bigger tv (soon!)
• quality luggage (pink!)
  
• mp3 phone (not only plays mp3, but also a pocket pc)
• chanel ballet flats in pink (this was never supposed to be on the list, but oh well ^_^)

Not too bad, if I do say so myself.

Rah, I don't want to pack!

I am half excited to go back, but of course, still sad to go. I have a few more days left and I shall enjoy them well!
