I know it's been forever since I've written. Summer was completely busy, but I'm sure the school year will be even busier. With college classes and Chemistry already started, and basketball practice coming in less than 2 months, yes, it'll only get busier from here. But now that we're here, I thought I'd reminisce in summer vacation memories and photos.
Rocking chairs!
This is the house in North Carolina we stayed at. It was nice, and overlooked lots of mountains and trees.
Earlier this year I went tubing a billion (Okay, maybe like 5) times on youth trip. Ever since then I kind of loved tubing... and on a freezing lake surrounded by mountains, it was fun. Here I am about to stand up, which I eventually completed, but sadly only got blurry pictures of.
I also went zip lining. Which was way too short, but awesome. The only scary part was when I was standing up on a platform, 40 ft in the air, and the guide says 'Okay, just jump off'... and I probably gave her a strange look.
Besides that, we also went white water rafting on the Nantahala river. Rafting is exciting, and wet.
...and after the mountains, we settled in Atlanta, GA for a couple of days. It rained too much for good pictures, but the city was pretty fun.
And here we are now, a few weeks later, sitting at home blogging while I'm supposed to be studying Chemistry. I can find every reason in the world not to do Chemistry today. I even went on a run in 90 degree weather... because seriously, who want to memorize the periodic table when there's so many better things to do with you time? To quote my chemistry teacher, "You'll use the periodic table in whatever career you go into as long as it's not something like History or Journalism." Oh great. If you didn't already know, I'm planning on studying journalism. I can see I have a bright future ahead of me. ;)
