The final week....

This week is my final week in St. Louis. I thought I would be much more anxious to be leaving to see my friends, but I am really going to miss St. Louis. My internship was so much fun and I learned a lot. The people in the office were so nice to me. Today I was thinking about my summer and all the activities I had done.

The month of May I spent substitute teaching. This was quite the experience. I remember my classes, never me though, giving substitute teachers an incredibly hard time. Now, I have a new appreciation for substitute teachers. Overall I thoroughly enjoyed it though. I love being around kids and interacting with them. One day I got to substitute for my kindergarten teacher. It was weird, but very fun because she was one of my favorite teachers in grade school.

June was a busy month for me because I started two new jobs and also had friends come visit. On June first I started my internship. I had no idea what to expect really and I ended up loving it. The next weekend I started working on the golf course. That was interesting and I enjoyed having an outside job after being indoors during the week. Both jobs ended up being huge successes. Also during June my roommate Brady, his girlfriend Hilary, and my good friend Rosalind came to visit. We had a great time. We went to a Cardinals game, toured Busch Stadium and of course went to Ted Drews.

July was also very crazy. I started the month out by traveling to Washington D.C. to visit Angela, another great friend of mine. It was an amazing trip. I got to see a lot of D.C. and also experience D.C. on the fourth of July. Being in D.C. is something I would suggest to anyone! It was incredible. The next couple weeks I got to enjoy some downtime. Toward the end of July my friend Ethan came to visit. We had a great time in St. Louis. We got to see Nelly in concert, go to our first casino, and also go to a Cardinals game.

One of my favorite things about this summer was how much time I got to spend with my parents. I got to see them almost once a week. Going to school so far away I don't get to see them much and it has been very nice getting to spend so much time with them. I also really enjoyed getting to play golf so much this summer. For a while I was getting to play almost twice a week. I got to play with Dad and Cindy a lot on Friday's and I loved it.  Looking back I am extremely lucky to have such good friends and family. I had a blast with them all summer long. I am going to really miss St. Louis, but I am looking forward to the school year and getting back to all my friends in Maryville.
