A summer to remember

This is the last summer that I will have to enjoy some of my favorite activities. For one thing, my very last trip of houseboats just ended on Saturday. It was one of my favorite trips and I am sad to see it go, but as I have learned this last senior year, the last things make the most memories. It's been a very hard lesson to learn, and there have been many tears shed, but a lesson I am glad I learned.
However, this summer isn't over yet. I am in the middle of my week off, before 3 intense weeks. Next Monday, we begin our annual VBS. It is an exciting time. I am on the game team again, an elite team to be on. Many people apply for the team, but the participants are usually veterans, and handpicked by our youth pastor. I also happen to be the only girl, which is sometimes a blessing and a curse. The blessing is, I am able to connect with girls and I get to be the one person who gets to put on bandaids and ice packs. The curse is, I'm often picked on by the boys. Not that I don't know them and they know me really well, but i'm often the one who gets soaked first on water day. It'll be a super fun time, and I'm excited to be a part of the games team for my 7th year.
The week after, I get to go be a counselor at Forest Home. This'll be my 3rd year of counseling, but I will be at a different camp center this year. I love Forest Home, and I hope that next summer, it'll be my future employer. I'm excited to spend time with my 7th grade girls, and I believe that we will have a great time. Not to mention, I'll be the only one trusted with this new camp center. All of my other friends will still be stuck at the lower camp center, while I'll be having more fun :).
After that week, I'll get to spend a week on the beach, relaxing before the start of college. And then, I spend the next week on the couch, as I have wisdom teeth surgery. And then, I'll be ready to start college! Its kind of scary, knowing that college is so close. AT the same time though, I can't wait. I'm sure that it will be the best time of my life! 45 more days until move-in day!!!
