Tomorrow is the Fourth of July. This is the first year, ever, that I haven't been home in Hampton to be with friends and family and go to the park and watch the fireworks. I was all excited that I was going to experience it at the beach this year, but I have been thinking about all of my friends at the park this weekend and I am actually somewhat sad about it. Not to say I'm not going to enjoy myself on the beach, because I really think it will be awesome, but it's kind of sad..the last fourth before college. But you can't linger on those things, I suppose.
The Fourth is kind of like the weird midpoint of summer. Growing up and in middle school, especially, it was a big deal because it was the first time you saw a lot of your friends that you wouldn't normally hang out with. And everyone looked a little different. But as the years went by, the time between school and the fourth seemed to go by a lot quicker, no one looked much different, and you felt like you just saw everyone. Even the fireworks themselves are much less spectacular. It's kind of sad in a way. What does that say? As you grow up, do these kind of things have less meaning? Or do we just become much more apathetic? Or is it because time continually seems to go faster that the Fourth loses its summer significance? I don't rightly know.
Anywho, it's quite amazing that it's even JULY. I love July. So very much. Best month of summer. It's mostly because my favorite events occur during these 31 days. Camp Lambec, my birthday, my mission trip to New Orleans, Harry Potter's birthday...come on. It's basically amazing. So I absolutely can't wait.
Vacation is coming to a close, sadly. But it will be nice to be back in the Bubble, even if I'm spending most of my time at the pool. haha. Oh boy. Yesterday, Kim and I went to Wildwood with our mums and we went to a waterpark, which was awesomeeeee. And I'm actually slightly burnt on my stomach, which is a first. I don't burn usually. But enough rambling, I'm off to watch girly movies with Kim. Yay!
