Only the Beginning...

So...  My summer has had a somewhat rough start.  Let's just say it began with a bang.  Literally.  First day of summer.. just out of school.. coming home from Maymester.. and BAM I smash into a road sign, fly over the median, and completely demolish my car.  Awesome!  I rock.  Couldn't this have happened two months from now when I'll be back in a city small enough to walk almost everywhere and ride the semi-reliable (and more importantly, free) public transportation everywhere else?  Apparently not.  Now I'm stuck in the suburbs for what seems like forever with no car, no job, and probably no money once I pay for my ticket and all the repairs.  I guess life just isn't on my side.  Well, I guess I can kiss my awesome summer goodbye.

But wait...  Who says I can't have fun albeit in relative isolation?  I'll be damned if I let this one misfortune get in the way of having an exciting and productive summer! So I've decided to channel my energies into something constructive.. maybe even grow as a person.  This will serve as documentation of the summer that I made the best out of, despite less-than-ideal circumstances.  I just hope that in 50 days or so, as my summer winds down and I head back to school that I can look back at this blog with pride and know I may not have walked the Great Wall or gone skiing in the Alps, but I did in fact do some pretty cool things and made good use of my time.
