Rest of the Summer to Date

So, to finish up my Summer 2011 series, I'm just going to list some things that I did.

1. July 11 - got contacts.

2. July 13 - had another meeting for England (I'm really getting excited!) and went to a picnic for my father's work.

3. July 14 - went to Navy Pier with a couple of my best friends. :)

The skyline is magic.

4. July 16 - went to the Renaissance Faire with my sister and uncle.

5. July 29 - went to Pierogi Fest with my aunt and sister + had way too much food.

6. August 1 - WENT TO THE PAUL MCCARTNEY CONCERT! This was absolutely amazing, and I can't believe I got the chance to see one of my idols, a member of the Beatles, someone that changed entire generations of people, with the people that grew up when the Beatles were huge. Incredible.

7. August 10 - WENT TO THE TAYLOR SWIFT CONCERT! This time, it was a different cousin, my sister, and I, and it was the best TS concert I have been to so far. I don't know why, but I enjoyed myself more (probably because I let myself experience it, rather than taking a whole buncha pictures) and it was more magical. Plus, we had a better angle to the stage, so the view was perfection. :D

8. Mid-August to present - volleyball tryouts, then practice, because I MADE THE JV TEAM! I've been having a pretty good time, but my shoulder is a tad messed up, which sometimes brings me down mentally. Either way, as of now, our record is 1-1, but we should be undefeated. I've not played in a game yet, but I hope I'll get my chance to soon!

9. August 13 - block party + sleepover. Fun!

10. August 20 - picnic for my family's old neighborhood + sleepover. Very fun!

Of course I did more fun stuff than that, but those things stood out to me. Tomorrow, I'm going to catch a movie at an old theatre in this neck o' the woods, and Sunday, I'm meeting up with my friends at our little hang-out restaurant.

Happily, summer has been really exhilarating, but it is almost over. I'm excited to go back to school, because I am going to make this year ROCK! I hope y'all have a marvelous weekend. Payce!
