This past weekend I went on a camping trip with my best friends from high school up to Saco River, Maine. There were probably about 20 of us. It was a wonderful time and the first EVER camping trip I have gone on in my life where it hasn't rained!! And I've camped every year since I was about 2 years old so that is saying a lot.
However, the camping trip ended with a some bad vibes when my two guy friends got in a car accident on the way home because one of them fell asleep at the wheel. Thankfully they were both okay but the car was absolutely totaled! The EMS said if they had not been in a large SUV they would have most likely been killed. So I can't stress the importance enough about tired driving, it is just as bad as drunk driving! If you are too exhausted, ask a friend to drive or pull over somewhere to rest/nap for a little bit because it is just not worth it. I hate to lecture people but I thought this was important.
This summer has been great so far, learning new things at my new job, and spending time with my friends and family (although I miss Madrid too much). I went on a weekend trip to the Cape with my dad where we relaxed at the beach and rode bikes on the sand dune trails in Provincetown.
Sunday, we went to the Beachcomber in Wellfleet where we watched Germany win the World Cup! (my Dad's side of the family is German so we were excited about this). I had several German friends in Spain and I really wish I could have seen their reaction.
This upcoming weekend is my last weekend at home. We will be celebrating two of my best friends birthdays so I'm extra excited. Then next Friday I head back down to Columbia to begin my senior year! My roommate is from New Hampshire so she's picking me up in Mass. and then we're making the 15 hour road trip down to SC. I can't believe it's finally here. I don't want college to be over! Take me back to freshman year.
