Summer 2013

  Summer 2013 is almost here. After a long spring semester, freedom is nearly here. Just a few more steps and then everyone can relax over the summer. Though I am excited to go home, I have had a wonderful semester for the most part, despite some family problems, in terms of Green Mountain, this was a fantastic semester. I accomplished a lot, learned a lot, met new people, made new friends, and completed my sophomore year of college.

  This semester I took 3 history classes, QEA, and Dimensions of Music. These classes were very informative and interesting. They made me look forward to picking my classes for next fall. This semester I was also selected to become an RA for next year. After lots of work and effort, I was rewarded by being offered this position. I was also selected to be the new Sophomore representative. I enhanced my leadership skills and public-speaking skills.

   This summer I will be life guarding in Southern France (Menton, Nice, Cannes, etc) and Miami, Florida. I am extremely excited for this job and this fantastic opportunity. Of course, I will be getting a lot of sun and spending most of my time in the water. I will be traveling a lot around southern France, going to Monaco at times, and even to Italy and Spain.

   The beaches where I will be life guarding are very busy and populated during the summer time (all year long in fact) so I will be kept busy every singly day. I am excited to see some of my friends who live there and to spend time with my family. My family likes to visit southern France in the summer, like every other French family that lives in the north of France, and now that I will be working there, they will come more often.

    Though I am highly anticipating the summer, I will miss some of my friends that are traveling abroad next fall, but after all, it is only a semester and I will see them again. I wish everyone luck on their last final exams and a bright and fun summer!

   Take care,
