Hey guys! I know it’s sad that summer’s ending, but it is :[ I’ve had a pretty busy last couple of weeks, but it’s turning out to be a great ending to the summer. First of all, my grandpa took my two cousins and me to the Boston/Yankee game August 6th. We had amazing seats and the game was great (those of you who watched it and love the Yankees know they beat Boston 13-6)! Pretty soon after that my grandparents, parents, sisters, brother, aunts, uncles, cousins, and great aunts all made tomato sauce together. It’s a tradition in my family and we always make it every year. Making the sauce takes a lot of work. The night before we have to wash and peel all the tomatoes (keep in mind there were 17 huge bushels filled to the top with tomatoes!). The next morning at 5:30 am there are many other steps you have to complete before the sauce is finished like, washing the basil, taking the seeds out of the tomatoes, and boiling them. It’s a lot of work, but worth it in the end! Last weekend I went to see Taylor Swift in concert with three of my friends. She was amazing and I had a great time! I would definitely recommend for anyone to go see her if you have the chance! Also last weekend, I went tubing in the Delaware River with my family. I know that seems kind of random, but it was a lot of fun! The river is so calm, peaceful, and surprisingly warm. It’s a great place to go with a group of people, relax and enjoy yourself.
Even though I enjoyed all of that and I want it to continue, I know schools is starting soon. I had orientation today and it was great to see everyone again. I know you guys might want to hold off on school for a little while longer, but I’m sure once you’re there you’re going to be happy to see all your friends (maybe not so happy to see the school work though, but who is?!). For everyone out there who is a new student, transfer or freshman, don’t stress. You’re going to have an awesome school year and you’re going to meet so many new people. And all you freshman, I’ll see you at your orientation tomorrow!
