So Long Sweet Summer
3 months ago I was in my dorm room frantically throwing my stuff into plastic bags and then throwing those bags into my parent's CR-V so I wouldn't be late for work. Tonight I am collecting my things so I will be ready to move back into Hotchkiss tomorrow.
Summer is over. After working at a high school camp, I learned that that phrase can be taken many ways. The students all heard this phrase with dread, while the thought of returning to The Master's College frankly gets me psyched out of my mind.
Nevertheless, it has been another sweet summer. It has been my first summer living in California since 1994, so in some ways my whole summer was a vacation. I have been able to spend lots of time with my brothers & sisters (in-law/to-be). Just today I returned from a trip where I was able to hang out with Billy in Corona and then spend the night at Bobby and Christa's, where we watched a lot of West Wing episodes (some of the best episodes to ever hit the airwaves.)
My work situation turned out great this summer. I worked the whole summer in the mornings at The Master's College Fitness Center. This job gave me lots of time to read, blog, watch the World Cup, and keep up with everything going on in the world of sports and news. At the beginning of the summer, I was able to work on a political campaign. While the campaign trail was pretty crazy, it was a good learning experience.
But all that is over, and it's back to school. I'm really looking forward to this year. I'm looking forward to college life and hanging with friends. I'm looking forward to my classes. I'm looking forward to Generations (my Bible study.) I'm looking forward to keeping stats for TMC sports teams. I'm looking forward to blogging more than I did last year.
My blogging will probably change once school starts. I'm hoping to update it more often than last year, but this means that some of the posts might take on a bigger variety of topics and be shorter, but we'll see.
That's a full lid on my summer blogging.

Bro, Thanks for the update on the "full lid" on summer blogging. Here's to hoping you "leak" a few more blogs this school year! And whatever you do, remain presidential!
Ben,
I am really looking forward to seeing you in the hallowed halls of hotchkiss and hanging out. thanks for the update!
peace,
T-flo
Ben, so long sweet summer, I stumbled upon you and gratefully basked in your rays. We basked in the rays in style, being pulled from tubs from the back of boats. See you around at the games, stat guy.
