so the summer is winding to an end and i begin to wonder what i've accomplished these past three months.  for the most part, i worked my ass off on three jobs this summer.  My typical day begins at 6am when i wake up and ends at around 8 pm when i leave the lab.  Indeed, times are hard and the money is definitely a bonus but taking on so much has definitely made my summer less enjoyable in addition to making me feel tired and drained with each passing day.  But somehow, I find time to hang out with friends almost everyday beacuse let's face it, friends are important, and i value my friendships dearly.  Although i haven't gotten around to hanging out with all the people i wanted to, i was definitely able to make a few real, good, genuine friends, and rekindle old friendships which still seem very new and rich. 

I long for the past and how easy and stress-free my life was.  With each passing day comes experience, knowledge, and (sometimes) growth, but at the expense of time and a life once lived.  At 20, i feel like i'm stuck at an intersection not knowing which path to take and fearing that if i tread down the wrong road, i can't find my way back.  Sure life is full of risks that everyone must take but shouldn't there be more guarantees in life than death and taxes?

anyway...

had an awesome time at the Met's game with family and eliza... though we did more eating than watching.  AND, i hope eliza conquered her fear of heights =)
