Summer Retrospective

I wanted to do this post after the Hidamari Sketch one, but I'm gonna do this one before it to save time.

Summer is ending. It's a given that pretty much everyone is pissed or sad. And why shouldn't they be? Summer is the best. Well that goes without saying. But for me personally, this summer has been one of the best summers of my life. It wasn't perfect, but it was definitely better than the previous summers.

Let's start with the highlight of my summer: DRAGONAUTS. Dragonauts was so kickass, I have to wonder why the hell I didn't do it last year. It's another one of my unique families. We just had a lot of fun this summer. I mean, I wish that I could do this all year. It's so enjoyable to be with these people and rowing boats. I really liked all the gatherings that we had too. We probably had like...3 or 4 potlucks this summer. And they were awesome. I made so many friends in Dragonauts. Some really nice people. The best part was the races at Long Beach. The best 2 days of the whole summer. Even when we weren't racing, it was still a lot of fun just hanging out with the other team members and watching LARD or some other team racing. The races were intense. Again, the best part about summer were these two days. If I could do it every weekend, I would.

In general, I was probably most active this summer. What I mean by that is this - most other summers, I wouldn't leave the house unless I really had to. For example, the summer before this one, I went to Gateway Academy, and then went home, and that was my whole day. The summer before Gateway's summer, I literally stayed home all day. This summer, I actually hung out with friends and cool people and did fun stuff. Makes me wanna redo the other summers.

This summer wasn't perfect, like I said. I had to take a physics class at Cerritos College. Which was bullshit. I didn't see a purpose in taking the class except that it was just something to do. I guess my mom wanted me out of the house.

Still, the other good stuff just overrode this little detail and made this a candidate for one of the best summers of my life.

I'm not sure if my birthday counts as being in the summer, but if it is, then that makes it better. THANK YOU, GUYS!!

So yeah, that was my past look on 09's summer. Stay tuned for one last post, Anime Review #14.
