Summer plans

Hello and happy summer!

I've been home since last Thursday, spending my time relaxing, shopping, and catching up on TV (of course). My summer job doesn't start until June 24th so I have a lot of free time between now and then.

Fun plans for the summer:
  • I'm seeing Seth Meyers do stand-up in Northampton on June 20th. He's the head writer and host of Weekend Update at Saturday Night Live, my favorite show. Next year he will be the new host of Late Night when Jimmy Fallon moves over to host The Tonight Show.
  • I'm going to Osheaga (again). It's a 3-day music festival in Montreal in early August and the lineup this year is insane! Mumford & Sons, Macklemore & Ryan Lewis, Ellie Goulding, Vampire Weekend, and Silversun Pickups, just to name a few.
  • I'm seeing John Mayer in August with my mom and some family friends.
On Thursday I went hiking with Mike and Christine at Mt. Monadnock in New Hampshire. Yesterday Mike started his summer internship at Cape Cod so it was good to see him before he left. It was a wonderful hike and the view at the top was spectacular, as always.




This summer I'll be working at summer camp, making it my sixth year as a camp counselor and fifth summer at this camp. I'll be doing the same internship as last year as the media specialist. So I'll be taking photos and videos every day and making weekly videos to send home to the parents to show what their kids are doing at camp. Basically, I get to practice my MJD skills in an environment I love. I'll also be the specialist for the friendship bracelet camp in the mornings.

Oh, and I'm officially a senior! As sad as I am that the time has flown by and that I only have one year left, I am SO excited for my final year! I feel like everything I've worked so hard at has built up to make an incredible last year of school. And post-grad life doesn't seem so scary to me anymore -- I think that after my senior year I will be prepared to take on the world!
