Again, we kind of stopped half way through to double up on D's job hunting and my research assignments kind of got almost overwhelming. It kind of sucks (a lot!), but I'd rather have 1/2 of a great summer with him and have him be here with me next year than enjoy an amazing summer and have a long distance relationship my senior year of college. Hopefully, all of our efforts and sacrifices will pay off.
But the time that we spent trying to complete this list was really great! We finally went to the beach every weekend for a few weeks, explored LA, and just got out so much more to really enjoy the summer. I took a lot of pictures and I feel like my photography skills improve a little bit. I think I'll try and make a list like this for senior year with a lot more planning ahead and also more clearly defined parameters.
Thanks a lot of those who were very supportive of this; it's nice I'm not talking to just empty space :)
