So, once again I had the opportunity to go rollerblading for an extended period of time. The weather was really nice, a great break from the 90s with humidity that we've been having a lot of. Although I know it's typical of Nebraska this time of the year the constant rain storms, heat and humidity are getting very old very fast.
I haven't rollerbladed in a while, about a week, so it was definitely nice to get out again. Since my Dad is out of town and I'm staying with my mom tonight I chose to rollerblade on the "West Papio Trail" close to her house. I drove for about 2 seconds (I probably could have rollerbladed to the trail, but I had no idea where the entrance other than the one that I drove to). and soon had the blades on and was on the trail.
I knew where this entrance was because around 10/12ish years ago my family used to go biking on this trail. We'd load up our bikes in the back of our old GMC pickup truck and ride around. The West Papio trail is close to my mom's house, a little bit farther West than my mom's house and runs perpendicular to West Dodge running North to South. It cuts through several of the wealthier neighborhoods in West Omaha. It was funny, as I rollerbladed through I could tell exactly where I was depending on the luxurious-ness of the homes on my left. The trail wasn't too full but it also wasn't empty. The weather was nice so a lot of people were out.
It was really relaxing and fun to get out there, I wish that every night could be this nice. Reflecting back on things as I bladed through West Omaha, I came to realize that summer was more than half over. After this week I have just over a month until I'll be done in Nebraska. I can hardly believe that May and June are already over!
I can remember my first week home like yesterday and how suffocating it was. I felt as though I was locked in a glass box screaming at the top of my lungs, with people just walking by. Granted my summer hasn't been ideal by any means but who's summer truly is? I've been keeping very busy, almost too much so. I'm exhausted all the time but I've accomplished a lot. The Attorney General's internship has been very interesting to say the least. Three of my articles have/will be published which is cool. I'm debating if I should get them framed/laminated or something.. ;)
Anyway, probably what I've been happy about the most is that things have been flying by. I've been trying to get bulletin boards done and then research for my paper and wow...it finally it hit. June is already almost gone. Seriously, this coming weekend is the 4th. In less than a month I'll be 21 and then just a little bit after that will be the end of this wretched summer...
My aunt and possibly cousins from Colorado are coming out for the 4th which is a definite plus. I'm so excited they're coming!
Tomorrow starts the daily grind again. My Dad's birthday is also tomorrow...
