I wish it was summer.
I remember the days when I was the only one home; albeit the siblings.
I loved the feeling of waking up early, and staying on the computer all day.
The dew drops on the green grass fresh in the early morning;
The sun peeking over the tops of the trees;
The freedom of stress that school brings;
Tests.
Homework.
Relationships.
Friendships.
All that stress vanished with the start of the summer.

We take life for granted.
We throw things away.
I didn't know how good I had it.
Two months passed by quickly, and before I knew it, I was sitting at a desk.
People-complete strangers-surrounded me.
Oh, how I longed for the feel of my laptop beneath my fingers!
And the crisp, cool Vitamin Water on the tip of my tounge.
Those days were over.
It's fall now.
I'm counting down the months until…

Summer 2008.
