As Summer Slips Away . . .

If you've been to a Staples Business Depot lately, you should have realized two things
#1 Veronica Mars Season 2 has finally arrived! (for only $49.99!!)
#2 Back to school season has officially begun!!!
Now, let me just tell you, I am very extra SUPER excited about #1. I just finished watching all of the first season last weekend and can hardly wait for the second.
#2 I am having some serious mixed feelings about. Actually, back to school shopping is my very favourite kind of shopping. If you know me at all you know of my affection for pens of all sizes, shapes and colours. I feel that you can NEVER (ever) have too many of them. So back to school shopping is a little slice of heaven for me in that regard. Who doesn't love fresh paper, clean binders, and brand spanking new agendas? (btw April, I finally found one, so no need to give me yours, but I do appreciate the offer). Even though some of my classes will likely bore me to tears and leave me with more reading than one person can possibly manage, I am still excited for the new semester. After all, I am taking intro to human sexuality and get to read a book called The Mother Tongue: English and How it Got That Way. Plus I am helping out with the Navigators, and my lovely Kate will be at my school. So now you're thinking, okay Amy, what are these mixed feelings you speak of? Well, let me just tell you that I have been having a fantastic summer. It didn't work out financially as well as I hoped, but I had a sweet job working as a nanny for a great family with fantastic kids. Plus I had weekends off and got to hang out with April (link to her Blog, Feria Films, from mine -->) and her cool friends. So I will be sad to leave this new life I have started and finished way too quickly. I have made some new friends here that I won't soon forget, and now I have more people to visit when I come to our nation's capital. As a perfect end to my summer, I get to spend one last week at camp! Woohoo!!! I still need on Ottawa shot glass or two . . . that's one thing I did not manage to find. Although I found some that said Toronto and Niagara Falls . . . figure that one out.
