Things I Have Not Done

This summer has been ridiculously, incredibly busy. From Michigan and blown up cars, to Upward Bound, to St. Louis, straight to residence services, I don't think I've stopped to take a breath. I feel like there are a thousand things I did this summer, but there are some important things I didn't get a chance to do this summer.

1. I did not get to go to Johnson's Island. This is the second summer I haven't been able to go because of work, and that makes me sad. I really miss my island family.

2. There have been no bonfires this summer. This means no marshmallows, no s'mores, nothing.

3. I have not yet been to a beach... I've barely been swimming. (Only monitoring students for UB, and for half a second in the hotel pool... but never outside.)

So I guess maybe it's only three things I can immediately think of, but those three things are really important to me. Johnson's Island basically incorporates all three of those, and I really miss it.
