end of summer 08
the sudden dawn of readings (and the increased stress levels) spelled the end of summer. and dang, it was one heck of a short summer, considering that i worked most my summer away. thank goodness for the one extra week to nua at home. else i don't i could have been really prepared.
anyhow, new term, new aims. i really hope it's not another one of those times where i've set goals and then proceeded to rightfully nua about them. sure, i want to enjoy study life. honestly, after this summer's work experience, i feel like studying forever. the fact that i'm at the mercy of profs and exams just lessens the desire to do so, so i guess i'll take it around the middle. hopefully the internship/s i go for give me a better view of the working world.
well, having started on my readings and completed a few is a good way to start the term, albeit a bit prematurely. haha with a really cool timetable to look forward to as well, i think and hope for the best, the i'd love this term haha.
looking back, i think i couldn't have asked for a better summer. matt's wedding (MASS MOBILIZATION HAHA) sounds like such a long way off (by the way, i sincerely hope that the air purifier is working okay still haha). job offer before i ended my finals, to finance my summer activities, like social science camp, social science outings, social science volunteer treats. best of all was the whole V event, which was da bomb. lots of new friends, and more people whom i can sell my textbooks to HAHA. but no no, above all, FRIENDS. teehee :D and not forgetting, taiti (dang, asshole pfffftttt), bridge, TIU TIU TIU, and not forgetting, tao huey / supper buddies. i gotta stay in school later more often haha.
so, being the sentimental nonsense i am, here's cheers to the end of the summer of 08, to take a leaf out of bryan adam's book, or CD sleeve, if you like.
Summer of 69 by Bryan Adams
I got my first real six-string
Bought it at the five-and-dime
Played it 'till my fingers bled
Was the summer of 69
Me and some guys from school
Had a band and we tried real hard
Jimmy quit and Joey got married
Shoulda known we'd never get far
Oh when I look back now
That summer seemed to last forever
And if I had the choice
Yeah - I'd always wanna be there
Those were the best days of my life
Ain't no use in complainin'
When you got a job to do
Spent my evenin's down at the drive-in
And that's when I met you yeah
Standin' on your Mama's porch
You told me that you'd wait forever
Oh and when you held my hand
I knew that it was now or never
Those were the best days of my life
Back in the summer of 69
Man we were killin' time
We were young and restless
We needed to unwind
I guess nothin' can last forever - forever, no,yeah
And now the times are changin'
Look at everything that's come and gone
Sometimes when I play that old six-string
I think about you, wonder what went wrong
Standin' on your Mama's porch
You told me that it'd last forever
Oh when you held my hand
I knew that it was now or never
Those were the best days of my life, oh yeah
Back in the summer of 69,uh-huh
It was the summer of 69,o yeah, me n my baby in 69
It was the summer, the summer, summer of 69
alright, later man. haha BURNNNNN!
keep my heart upon Your altar.
Give me strength to cross this water,
keep my feet don't let me falter.
