Life Is Good

It's been a good while since I've written last. Two months? Two and a half? A LOT has happened. It's summer vacation and I'm free at last from Asheville for hopefully forever.
  Everything for next year is set. My visa is ready to go, i have my calling cards and pins and blazer...shoo, I'm a foreign exchange student. This past weekend, I attending a Rotary Youth exchange orientation and I've learned everything that I could possibly be curious about for next year twice over. I feel so prepared that I could leave as soon as I could get packed and Ohhhhhh lord I'm ready.  

   

In the past five weeks of summer, I have done the following:

• Spent four weeks being a camp counselor at Camp Celo, a super cool outdoorsy kids camp (That you should definitely check out whether you're a kid, parent, teen, or young adult.) where I met some pretty dang amazing people and had more fun than I could have asked for. 

• Spent some quality time with my awesome friend Vinessa whom was a counselor with me at Celo and took some impromptu pictures in the river arts district...

• Spent another day with my friend Simon and his family to welcome him home from his trip to South Korea...

• And so much more that I don't have the patients to list.

Anyways, thus far....AWESOME SUMMER. Next stop... New York. I'm going to a lake called Big Wolf in the Adirondacks in Upstate. We stay in a lake house there every summer and It's so much fun. I keep getting flash backs of last year....

After that, California and then..........................

ITALYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So happy right now. While I was at school, I was constantly in a place of unhappiness. There was some sort of conflict going on socially, or emotionally, or with school stuff... Now I'm finding myself to be at a peak of happiness even in the dullest of moments.
