Why is it, that every summer when August begins to rear its ugly face....I feel like I have nothing to show for the summer thus far. Last year was exactly the same...and the tear before, and the year before that, etc.... Accomplishments this summer thus far....I took 3 summer classes, and received A+s in each, went to St. Louis and toured the Budweiser Brewery, watched a handful of friends get married, watched a couple of friends have babies, worked a couple of Lauder events, worked a few Royals games, went to Bennington Daze, buried my grandfather, finished the Summer mini-tour at Old-Chicago, and am buying a new house. But I don't really feel a sense of accomplishment from any of it.

Maybe I will start focusing on next summer. Maybe I will plan as many things as I possibly can for next year. That way I can have an amazing summer before getting a real-world job; but after finishing school.

Hmmmm.....I love planning.
