summer...

Well, I'm posting because I feel like it, not because I have anything to say. This summer has flown. Honestly, I've been so depressed the last few days because I only have 2 weeks left. I feel like I just wrote the post where I was 2 weeks away from coming here. This time will probably be a lot harder than last year. This time I don't know when I'll be back.

This summer has flown. Although, at times, it has been kind of slow. Not in a bad way at all. It's been pretty relaxing. This may be the last REAL summer I have to just relax. One of the depressing facts of this summer is that I just haven't accomplished many of the goals I'd hoped to. I wasn't able to get any useful information about a job or internship at the embassy. I haven't studied for my Western Civ. CLEP exam (even though Jocelyn loaned me a book for it). I'd also just hoped to do a bit of reading, but that's not getting anywhere. I've tried getting through "Angels and Demons" by Dan Brown. It's boring the heck out of me. And I've made a truly valiant effort to read "Blue Like Jazz," but I just can't get into it. I'm sure it has more to do with my current short attention span than the book itself. The most I've accomplished is to watch a record number of TV show seasons on DVD.

On the brighter side, I have been in touch with Jorge. I've gotten some letters from him and he called me on my birthday! I even got invited to a military ball in November after he gets back.

Other than that there's not a whole lot to report. I have had such a great time in Bosnia, and I really hope that the dread of leaving doesn't shadow the time I have left. At least I have NYC to look forward to!
