Summer summer summertime!

It's been a long time since we've had a summer this nice over here, that I can remember. Usually I don't care much for sunshine and hot weather and all that, it makes me sweaty and overheating isn't my favorite sport really. I prefer staying indoors, darkening the window, putting on my fan and enjoying a cool beverage. Or better yet, the day that winter finally arrives.

This year is different for a few reasons. Less things to worry about and more things to enjoy. It's actually kinda nice to take a walk outside just before noon, when it's already nice and warm from the sunshine on my back but not so much that I get tanned or anything.

Tomorrow I'm leaving for my 3rd international journey ever. After Poland and Germany, it's Sweden this time. I'd say I was gonna play tourist and enjoy the country (which I will) but we all know I'm going there to be with my lovely Jo! Finally I'm gonna see her again, it's been too long. It's always too long since the last visit...

We both know an LDR is tough. It's hard work and it taxes you to the limit. What is worse than seeing your loved one every day but not being able to touch her? Hearing her every day but never having her whisper those 3 little words in your ears? Seeing her pick up cups, pens and plates but never being able to have her touch you?
It's murder but knowing that I get to spend 6 days with her this week makes up for all that. It makes our real time together extra special. Every bit of love we feel gets poured into our time together and it is always amazing to have. Soon, very soon, we'll have our cake and eat it too. It's just a while longer to withstand all of the above before we can be together as much as we want.

Holidays...they're almost over too. When I get back it'll be about 2-3 more weeks before school starts again. First with some kind of camp for students. Looking forward to spending 3 days with lots of drunken people I don't know..not really. But it's part of the bonding thing and who knows, it might turn out to be kinda fun.
After that, 2nd year of college and the hard work and long days start again. Good thing I know what I'm doing it all for or I'd get bored again and quit.

Anyways, enough rambling for one post, time to go light the BBQ. Yummy meat and choco-bananas await!
