Will America Last?
"Woe to those who call evil good and good evil, who put darkness for light and light for darkness, who put bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter! Woe to those who are wise in their own eyes, and shrewd in their own sight!” Isaiah 5:20-21

Summer Recap
Well, I have not been on here much this summer in the way of writing. Life kept me pretty busy. After finishing a 10 day Chemistry course, I left on a 24 hour drive for S. Cali with a friend the day I took my final. I pulled my A! :-) Southern Cali is gorgeous! I couldn't live there (too many people), but it was a ton of fun! I loved the ocean!
I wasn't planning on swimming because everyone had warned me that it was cold so I wore jeans and waded. A wave caught me though so I was soaked! After I got used to the water, it wasn't bad at all.
While I was in Cali, I also got to see some family that lives there and my cousins and Aunt and Uncle who were visiting the family. I was really happy to see all of them! My cousins had grown so much since Christmas!
Then I got on a plane for the southern plains of the US. We were there most of the summer. It was over 100 degrees for the majority of the time we were there and super humid. Biking at 7 in the morning was even a bit of a stretch as far as temperature goes. I caught up on all of the books that I hadn't had time to read with being in school.
We also got to go home for a week and a half and help Grandpa on the farm. We loaded up a lot of scrap metal for the junk yard! Temperatures were much nicer! The sunsets were amazing, as usual. So were the stars, but I don't have a good enough camera to take pictures of the stars. Usually, I can see clear to the Milky Way. It stretches across the whole sky.
We also got to go to the lake with some of my old friends that are getting married this fall! Snow melt makes for nice cool water. Several hotdogs apiece with s'mores and many bottles of tea later we headed for home...oh, and one now-dead rattlesnake that was in the path. It had 6 rattles, but it wasn't very big. I don't have any pictures because it was dark at that point and I had forgotten my camera.
All in all, a good summer. School starts next week and I don't know if I'm ready to buckle back down to it, but the energy to conquer will come with each assignment. God will provide the energy needed. I am definitely ready to be finished with school though so I am really thankful that I only have one year left.
