Back From the Wild Blue Yonder and all that...

HELLO LOYAL READERS!

Sorry it's been so long since my last post, but I've been on vacation in New Hampshire. (New Hampster for you cool people) Anyway, I spent my days there swimming, running, reading, and eating on the shores of Spofford Lake. For those of you who know anything about New Hampshire, Spofford is just outside of Keene on the Vermont boarder. THe nearest VT. town in Brattleboro. In case any ofyou care. So essentially it was a lot of fun, even if I only ran once and my shoulder started acting up again. For full details on the woes of my shoulder, call or e-mail me and I'll tell you the whole sad story.

So, alas, it's that time of year; the time we all dread: the end of summer! Cue scary, powerful music Anyway, I start school the 28th, although the vast majority of my friends start about the 20th. Poor them. It would figure that the last few weeks of summer are the hottest. I swear, it's been over 90 more in the last week than it has been the rest of the year. Dreadful, really, seeing as I have cross country practice. Running in the aweful heat is no fun. None at all.

I've started cross country pre-season. It's pretty cool. All the kids seem pretty nice, which is good. I'm really really slow, but at the moment, I don't care. I know I'm not a varsity runner, and frankly, I don't really care. It's fun just being on the team. Every one is crazy, and I know a hand-full of people from middle-school, so it's "jolly good fun" as my coach says. Yes yes. Cross country is definately the best thing ever. Especially as we listened to Brittney Spears, the BackStreet Boys, N*Sync, and Disney songs in the bus. I already love my team, and I hardly know them. Heck yes!

Alas and alack, school is almost here. Aparantly in high school, you're too mature for supply lists, so I have NO idea what I need for school. It's pretty amazing. I don't have my schedule yet, which is tragic, but I have school books coming out my ears. It's really ridiculous the stuff you need for all the classes. One thing I'm looking forward to is English. My old school has such and insanely strong English porgram that I'm going to be able to sleep through English, and also possibly math. That should be exciting, no?

Hmmm, it's thundering and lightning-ing (it that right? Paul?) outside. That's fun! I hope it rains! Rain is the best! Although if it does it means I have to sit in the snack bar with absolutely nothing to do for hours and hours. That's not much fun. But it'll be worth it to listen to the rain come down. I really really like rain. A lot. And also Irish accents, so I think I'll move to Ireland. I want to do a semester abroad at University of Dublin or something like that in college. I'll ask my old English teacher about that, as he did that. I'm jealous!

Alright, well, that's about all, folks. Oh yeah, and if anyone in this wide wide world knows how to make the comment button thingy show up in some of my old posts, I'd really appreciate it if they'd give me a hand. (NICK!)
