Summer 2011

My past summer was one of the most eventful and entertaining summers that I have had so far. Since it was my last summer of high school, I wanted to break out of my usual boring ways and have a fun and productive few months. I did however come across some obstacles. My yearlong job search has been unsuccessful, so my options of what to do were limited. Luckily, I had made some money babysitting and my parents were nice enough to lend me money for various things, as long as I make sure to pay them back. With their generous money donations, I was able to begin my summer activities. In July, I went to one of my best friend's house warming party, because she just moved to Hamburg. I went to Hamburg beach with her several times this summer. An interesting day in July was when I went to the Buffalo Sabres prospect camp in Niagara. I like watching hockey and supporting local teams, so my friend didn't have to ask me twice to go. I also attended a few concert this summer, but my favorite was by far the concert and the Buffalo Harbor where I was able to see my favorite band, The Tragically Hip. Watching the sunset over the water with my family and friends was definitely one of the highlights of my summer, and I will always remember that beautiful night. Moving into August, my festivities continued. At the end of the month, I took my yearly trip to Crystal Beach in Canada with my best friend. We go every year to the same cottage and stay with her parents and their friends. Crystal Beach is my favorite place in the entire world, and it's always the best part of my summer! Arriving home from Canada marks the end of my summer, and I can look back and say that I made the best out of it.
