Summer of 2012

The title of this post is actually inspired by the song "Summer of 69."
Though it hasn't any relation to the actual post.

Its summer again. I happened upon this blog again after googling myself. Conceited? I think so too, but I was checking if any incriminating stuff would pop up.

Anyway, a year has gone by since I checked on this. I actually forgot about it. I don't very much like blogging anyway. I feel bad because I've neglected my promise to atleast try and work on this last summer.

A lot has gone on over the year. If my memory serves me right, I think after I put up my previous post I went and had summer review classes for college entrance exams. So I did have a slightly meaningful summer last year. Whoop!

The summer classes did pay off though, because I got in to the university I want to study in now. Thank you Lord Jesus! A lot has changed though, I never really imagined myself going to this school in the past. It was just always  a passing thought and never really a true goal. I just took the exams because all the people around me thought it was an amazing opportunity that shouldn't be passed up. Today I'm grateful to those people. I was really set on this other school. It's a great school! But I see now that it wasn't the best course to take. I had to consider this newly unhinged path right in front of me.

I'm very anxious about moving onto my college life. It seems like my high school  life had ridden on a whirlwind. I can easily recall the first of my four years in my high school. It's a wonder how it passed by so fast. I almost don't wanna let it slip through my fingers.

I've had a lot of amazing things happen to me in those four years, but one thing I treasure the most about it is the relationships I gained and the ones I had previously that had only strengthened, the ones with my family and friends.

These friends, I'm sure, are going to be my life-long companions. We aren't going our separate ways, we're going on paths interlocked with one another, and I'm sure there's always a crossroad.

So thank you Lord for giving me these gifts and I hope you continue to guide me as I embark on a new journey that I hope would be as meaningful as this one.

It's the summer of my 15th year. Finally, the most awaited time of any student's year has arrived.

Of course, when you hear the shrill ring of the bell signifying the end of another school year and start of your two months of freedom, you tend to forget (like every other year) that summer vacation is not really what its all cracked up to be.

With lack of any savings or any source of allowances, you really can't really go out with your friends much. You find yourself stuck with long agonizing moments of boredom, the scorching heat of the summer sun and crappy reruns on the television. Now maybe these things don't happen to you but to me, it happens every single year. So this year, to solve my ever present problem, I've decided to reinvent this blog.

I started this blog with a bunch of friends of mine maybe about a year and a half ago just for the sake of blogging. And as you could probably tell I've erased all of those previous entries mainly because I've come to realize that my grammar sucked (which reminds me of another reason why i wanted to redo this thing: improving my grammar).

I really hope i stick to this thing and actually blog about stuff. :)
