summer came and went + brought things unexpected and held things back.

the rain came, but never truly, leaving the fields under watered.  the signs of a hard year ahead are every where when what should be head-high corn, is not even waist high. 

there was our church's vbs and then (as a friend put it) "mk bonding time", which translated to games of mafia and eating bowls of pudding.  

the textbooks got more of a break than they were supposed to, but that means that there was more social time and all-day-in-your-pjs movie marathon days.

but now it's time to dust off the books for the last 4 month hurrah of high school.  friends go back to boarding school and we set our clocks for when christmas break comes around.  all the countless draft posts with bare their raw, tired faces to the light of day and the stacks of neglected photos will be shined and shown.  

summa' time is over and fall is rolling in.  stay strong, my frends…  even in the face of calculus.
