Summer whizzed by and here I sit, in my cozy Pontigny bedroom, on the third day of classes. Overall, my summer was spectacular: summer camp was the time of my life this year thanks to my amazing campers and co-counselors that I spent the 8 weeks with.

After the 8 weeks of camp ended, my last week of summer was spent making a roadtrip to Florida with a few of my closest.

The Florida trip was an absolute whirlwind... Chelsea, Lawless, and I drove from Vermont (after moving into our new rooms) to North Carolina to pick John up. Afterwards, we drove to Georgia and spend a night at Christina's house with her family (who are all gorgeous, by the way).

We spent 3 nights at a campground called Raccoon River in a giant tent. Days were spent on the beach at a state park in Panama City Beach, where the water was clear and the sand was white. John and I had a snorkeling endeavor and we all just relaxed and enjoyed the last days of summer listening to "Toes" (our anthem) and not worrying about a thing.

We had some crazy nights and then drove the 30 hours back to Maine, where we spent a night at my house and ate the most delicious, non-fried-chicken, meal of my life.

I moved back onto campus for good on Saturday. It has been quite a transition but I'm managing.. Sunday night Alicia and I went to see Brad Paisley and Dierks Bentley with a couple of guys at the fairgrounds. It was a great show and such a fun time.

My classes seem interesting so far and I like every professor that I have, but I've already got hours of reading and studying to do and it is only day 3. I'll also be working in the writing center for upwards of 3 hours a week which will leave my schedule crammed. I'm happy that I have a couple of days to relax, though!

More to come!
