i wish this summer would never end.

i had the best time with the kids in the high school program this weekend. brian has a beach house out in galveston, so on saturday, we all packed into three cars and drove to galveston. so sad that zach and nathan went off to wymer, and valentina and mandy stayed behind, it would have been better with them too. jason and i had some interesting conversations on the car drive there..but man it was SO much fun, i don't think anyone really remembered what happened. brian, stephen, jennifer, alex, and i went out to the beach first to attempt to body surf in the meager waters of galveston. i walked around by myself for a while (solitude is good), and then joined up with the rest of them to watch jesus and beth futilely try to fly the kite that jesus made. altho beth is pretty good at flying kites and managed to get it to stay up in the air for more than 8 seconds =). we finally went back to the resort so that we could go out to dinner to a place called benno's. it was pretty good for a good seafood price. they had these red and white checkered tablecloths, and also red marinara sauce and white tartar sauce, so jason and jennifer played checkers on the table for a while. HAHA. then back to the resort again, and THAT was so crazily awesome. i won't go into details, but it was DAMN fun, despite some not-so-good incidents. it's weird though, how sometimes the smallest things can seem the most fun though. the whole weekend was awesome, but for some reason, i think i had the most fun when on sunday morning we were waking up, and jason and brian and i were just lying around in the huge bed just talking about random things - and then jesus, stephen, and angie joined us too, and we kept on talking until stephen finally fell asleep. it was so funny watching stephen sleep - his cheeks keep puffing in and out. lol. the rest of them finally woke up later, and we sat around for a while talking and laughing like crazy about the previous night. i won't be forgetting that for a while. I LOVE THESE KIDS. most of them left around 11 am or so, while brian, jason, and i stayed behind to clean up the rest of the condo. we've decided that we're gonna start a cleaning company cuz we ROCK at cleaning.hehe. drove back to houston again with jason and allie. ah man. good times.

thinking about this past weekend, i get so sad sometimes, because it wasn't until this last weekend did i finally feel that i bonded with these people. i wish i had spent more time with them earlier. in some aspects, this summer was worse than last year, but in other aspects, it rocks. completely. if we had done this trip in june or so, the entire summer could have been entirely different. but now it's too late and we're leaving next saturday. is it going to be like this for me for everything? i started off this summer being all bummed out about how it wasn't as awesome, and now i totally love it. will it be like this for college too? will i not love MIT until my senior year when it's too late?

we only live once, so live it up and don't look back with regrets.
