Ok, back to the ole’ blog again! So the other day I hosted a get together for some classmates and friends. (Do I have an aversion to the word party? Maybe. It seems like there’s a negative connotation to the word.) Anyways, in addition to friends, I had family members over as well. Since I didn’t take any pictures of the day (and I’ve lost my last 2 years worth of pictures any how), the blog entry will have to suffice.
Not that I remember a whole lot now. A lot of stress before people were here. But afterwards, it was pretty fun. Water balloons around on the side yard. I think they’ve pretty much become a staple of our summer gatherings by now. Derek brought his water gun too, for added excitement. So that’s always fun. Lobbing, throwing, and aiming at people filling up the water balloons. Until someone hits you on the back and it feels like a brick! Besides that, there was the badminton, where the birdies inevitably land on the patio cover. Lots of fun in the pool when I went in with Brian, Derek, Tim, and Nick – making a whirlpool in the shallow end created a current strong enough to carry us all the way across the pool. Lots of food throughout the day too – and Christina’s homemade cookies were verrrrrry good, despite my teasing. And the water balloons that someone threw on top of the patio cover that rained down on everyone. Thanks to Patrick for bringing strawberries also!
At first, I was really worried about all the people actually - lots of people from groups what while, aren't mutually exclusive, are pretty seperate. But it seemed like it worked out. Socially interesting, how people seemed to self divide themselves. But I think it worked out in the end - no fights or anything, so I'm a happy camper.
There were fun moments of sitting around talking. Around tables, out front, inside or the pool. Like the elite erudite Berkeley circle! Hahaha. Fun and teasing and whatnot - almost like school again! The intense Monopoly game, Apples to Apples, and more. Anyways, it was great to see everyone again, before leaving. I’m sorry everything here is so general, I can’t remember a whole lot! It was a much fun filled evening, and hopefully I’ll get to see everyone again soon!
I don't think it's hit me that we graduated. I wish I was this involved with everyone last summer. But today I realized my summer is more than half over - less than a month now until school starts for me, so the end is approaching quickly. But then again, the last month of high school was one of the most exciting and fun times for me, so why can't my last month of summer?
