Remember middle school - the years of awkward times, not knowing how to talk to boys, acne, glasses and, the worst, braces. Oh braces, how I loathed you. Well, tomorrow I will get to loathe them all over again.
Yep, you guessed it, braces round two begin tomorrow. Although this is not something I would have ever wanted again, it is under the best circumstances this time: it is only the front six top and bottom teeth, it is in the summer in a place where I know about six people, and it is only for three months. Best scenario possible.
I went for a run today, for the first time in weeks. It was one of those days after a steady rainfall, and a cold front had moved through, and everything is green and in full bloom. While I was running I had several things running through my mind: trying to keep myself going, what song is blasting in my ears, and what I love about nature. Sure, that sounds cheesy, but I encountered some beautiful scenery that I encountered when I was running, even if it was only in my neighborhood. I am reminded of the Green River Preserve, my favorite place, the place where I can be alone in nature, while being together with a thousand living things at one time.
That is something I am going to miss this summer, being in nature and taking it in for all it offers. I will be inside a majority of the summer, working, but that is okay, because I plan on spending my lunch breaks outside on the Washington lawn, as well as some evenings downtown.
I think what I am looking forward to the most this summer is Hokie Camp. Three fun-filled days: outside from 6 am - Midnight everyday, perfection. I cannot wait.
