My only friend, the end

So maybe not the most uplifting title or one that inspires any of you to read this post but yeah, this is the end. Least of this blog. I know, it was a short life for Summer Diaries but it served most of its purpose.

Why am I killing it? Well to put it bluntly it became boring. Not homework boring but like practicing musical scales boring. Just a struggle to write it. For me writing is a passion, something I love and something I despise. This particular path of writing hit a lead wall and it wasn't worth the struggle of breaking it down.

This doesn't mean I will stop writing. Screw that crap! It's still a passion for me and I'm certainly feeling the drive kick back up in my fingertips. I simply won't be writing any more blogs about my daily/weekly life in America, least not while I'm at Iowa. Rather I'm considering a new type of blog and if I go through with the idea the link will be posted on this blog. We shall see though, no guarantees for the moment.

So what happened during the rest of my summer? Let's see, the trip to LA finished fine and was a blast with my family namely my brother Pete. I do miss him however we've found ways to communicate and keep in touch beyond the basic text and call. Fortunately we're related thus seeing each other is always definite.

After LA Jonathan (my British boyfriend from my study abroad year in France) paid me a visit in Chicago. He sadly leaves in two days but the two of us have spent some amazing time together. We hit up the city several times, went to Rocky Horror, and even visited our friend Paula in Omaha for her 21st birthday. Although I wish I could burn his passport the reality is we both need to finish school and our universities happen to be an ocean apart. These few weeks have been amazing with him and I'm grateful he was able to visit me. Sides G+ exists as do email servers, technology.

Now school is upon me, a new semester oh dear! Wish me luck going back to Iowa audience it's been a blast with you. Maybe I'll start that "other" blog and maybe some of you will read it. Regardless you've been reading and I appreciate it. Farewell audience.
