Sunny With A High of 75

Despite it being a slow writing summer...I can assure that there has been nothing slow about this summer at all. I miss those days where I sleep in until 1 and then lounge around in the heat with no agenda... This summer has been rainy and hot, and I am melting in my skin nearly every day.

But here I am at 10k MMA awaiting the arrival of all the gentlemen. My dad asked me to sit here and I've finally had the opportunity to just chill with my lab top. The internet at my parents house is now gone, and I must say that it's kind of nice when I don't know everything that is going on in the world of Facebook. I have had an opportunity to see my friends so much more, and the gossip seems much more juicy when I'm not looking at my News Feed every twenty minutes.

However, there are some important updates that I have been waiting for the chance to dish...

1. I'm taking a break next year from school. Now that I've told all the important people in my life this huge news, I now feel safe letting the internet know. I just need to make money in order to pay for school, get my own place, and do something different with my life. I have been in college for five years already and I'm getting a little burnt out. I don't feel so bad about taking a break right now because I already have a degree, and I don't see this as quitting on my education. It's just a pause, but perhaps it's a new stepping stone into doing something different. I need this break to figure out what that could mean.

2. Ikaika (my other puppy) has new life. I was initially worried about him when we had to let our other dog go, but he has some new pep in his step. He had surgery a few weeks back to remove a cancerous lump from his shoulder, and he continually amazes me with how well he has been recovering. My dad said that if the cancer was bad, he would not put the dog through chemotherapy (after all, he is almost 11 years old). However, it really does not seem like the dog will need it. The removal of the lump must have been so great for him because he is running and jumping all over the place despite his arthritis. It's fun to have my dog back again.

And that's it folks.
