The last hours of Summer

There are about 12 hours left of my summer vacation. It's pretty ridiculous.

This weekend was a whole bunch of fun. Friday afternoon Furao and I went to noodles and company for a lunch date before summer ended. After he got out of work, he picked me up from home and we made our way to Jackson. There we picked up Ratinha, and then drove another hour to get to Southfield for the Batizado. We made it for the welcome roda. It was a lot of fun.

After words, my tummy didn't feel too well and I thought I was hungry. A bunch of us went to out to a chinese place, and my belly just couldn't handle it. After dinner, we went back to Seria's apartment. It was super nice of  her to let us stay at her place. The next morning we got up, had breakfast, and headed back to South field for the 4.5 hours of workshops. We then had a 1.5 hour break. We all had lunch/dinner and went swimming in the pool. It was really warm and nice. After the break we watched a Batizado Ceremony. It was super cool to watch other people go up cords and not have to worry about going up. But I'm sure I will be a part of a batizado that is "mine" and not have to worry about going up. when the ceremony was over, we went over to Gato and Ratinhas to hang out.

We left their apartment at noon today. We got back to GR, and then headed to the beach. We were there for four hours! It was super fun! After words, Furao made us all delicious turkey burgers, and Pipi made brownies. What more could I have asked for, for the last day of summer.

Fall 2010 classes start tomorrow. I'm prepared I have to be. There are so many reasons why I need to do well. One of number one reasons are for my grandpa. When I started school, and I told him I was going to study physical therapy, he was one of the top people on my list to fix. I'm sad to say now, that I won't ever have that chance. It's been almost 6 months since he has passed, and sometimes it seems so unreal. But for him, I need to achieve my goal!

Here was to good summer.
