Alas, the summer is over!!!!

So I have been completely awful at updating this thing, I am truly sorry for that. It's very hard for me to believe that it is already August and our new class starts moving in in just 2 days!!! Where did the summer go? This was a very interesting summer, but a good one. I was approached at the very beginning of the summer about taking a job in Kansas City, which was very intriguing. A step up the ladder and a bigger paycheck was extremely inticing. But in the end, it just didn't feel right. I felt like leaving SU and the Austin area was not what I was supposed to do.
I took a great class this summer on Servant Leadership. I did the most writing I've had to do for one of my grad school classes, but it was great. I learned a lot about what it means to be a servant and a leader, and a servant leader. Also, after finishing that class I am officially halfway through with my degree.
The rain washed out a lot of the fun things I had planned to do this summer, but it was still good. I spent some time with my family, traveled to Indiana, took a roud trip to Florida, saw the Counting Crows with Live & Collective Soul, and refueled my realtionship with God. All in all it was a good summer. I feel like a bad friend because I did not see many of my friends in the area, and I am truly sorry for that. I wish I had a few more weeks of summer to make that happen. Hopefully this semester will not be as difficult as the last, but only He knows that. I hope to be better at updating this thing, but we will see.
