School starts tomorrow, school starts tomorrow, falalalalalalaDIE. Ah well. I'm slightly excited, mostly not, but a little. But I'll give a toast. Here's to the summer- here's to Meadows Swim Team, to starting blocks and swimming pools, to noodle contraptions and noodle lengths, to hair highlights, New England, the trees in Vermont, the Maine coast, to ice cream, shakes, malts, sundaes, to little buddies, to photographs, to the Californian beaches, mountains, and air, to El and Mags, to Angie, to Nicaragua, to Gilmore Girls, Andromeda, and Lucy Lawless, to whatever movies I saw, and Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, to beavers, mountain lakes, skiers in July, coloring, paper mache, to Friends, the Boulder Res, Baseline lake, NCAR, Pearl Street Mall, and Coldstone, to Coldplay, Jack Johnson, The Wizard of Oz, to the Lake of the Ozarks, to tubing and fishing, to catfish and bass, to playing the piano, night-hikes, star-gazing, sleeping outside, to emails, letters, and college mail. Here's to colored pencils, diving boards, Disneyland, LINK kids, freshman, and seniors, to spaghetti, macaroni, bananas, and powerbars, to grandparents, cousins, aunts and uncles, to bad matteresses, and fabulous pillows, to The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy and also to Hamlet, to my iPod, to my collection of books, to swim coaches and life guards, swimmers, runners, and nappers. Here's to lemonadey summers, I hope I have many more to come. *ching*
