One Crazy Summer

Where do I begin? Granted the summer isn't over yet, but I only have two actual days of work left, and there's a barbecue mixed in there, so it really feels like the end is near.
My last update was right as my Film Music class started, which was a great choice on my part. Waking up early was tough, but the class itself was amazing. Great movies, great soundtracks, great lectures from Dr. Schelle, couldn't have asked for anything better.
Once that was over, I went to Chicago to visit Betsy one last time. We had a blast, and it shouldn't surprise anyone to hear that one of the highlights was a trip to Wrigley Field.
I flew from Chicago to New York City, and saw Drew before he left for India. Then I casually made my way back to Boston, and sat on my butt for a couple weeks before finally starting work at DMH. One great weekend was spent in Providence visiting Charles with Dean and Stephen. Here's the proof:
And wouldn't you know, the Celtics won the Championship the night before I started my summer job. At least I got a great view of the parade. Of course I wore my BEAT LA shirt underneath my button-down that day, and I swear Big Baby pointed at me in the window. It was awesome. Working 9-5, hanging with friends on the weekends, time just zoomed by. A quick trip to DC for a Barcelona reunion, and another to Brooklyn for a Bowdoin reunion are some of the best memories. And then there was the awesome ALS fundraiser bike ride which ended up in New York. I've spent a lot of time with my buddies, helped mom move into her new place in JP, and made a little money which will hopefully go towards me moving somewhere after graduation. Add to that some awesome coworkers and trips to the State House, and I'd say it's been quite a success. I head back to Indy in a couple weeks, and then who knows what'll happen from there.
