Well Look at the Time

August 27th, 2014 echen17

In exactly a week, classes will begin on Mount St. James! I can’t wait!

There hasn’t been much going on during this last week at home for me. Just reading for a class, and starting the whole packing up (pretty much) my whole room. So I thought I would share what I did this summer.

This summer I worked at this family retreat and conference center on Lake George in New York. I had two roommates: a friend from school and a new friend from Belgium. While working took up a majority of my time, we always found time to have fun, and occasionally, my amazing new friends made the time go by a lot faster at work. My new friends come from all over the world: (in alphabetical order) Belgium, Brazil, California, Columbia, Florida, New York, Illinois, Massachusetts (just like me!!!), Michigan, New Jersey, China, Venezuela, and Virginia.

I think I grew a lot this summer, and I definitely learned a lot this summer. One thing being: how to use a power drill, haha. Those things are pretty neat.

Some memories I would like to share:

1. Sleeping outside beside Lake George underneath the pretty stars
2. Kayaking
3. Hiking
4. Roller skating party
5. Dinner Cruise on Lake George
6. Scavenger Hunt in the pouring rain
7. Going on a midnight run after work
