Summer Thus Far

Initially, I created this blog to highlight the overwhelming boredom that has been the hallmark of my last four or five summers in Rock Hill. For some reason I thought that a blog with two followers (thanks Emily and Brooks) would somehow provide me with some semblance of entertainment. It turned out that I didn't need it. Inexplicably the cosmos has aligned and Rock Hill and the surrounding area is offering fun things to do. Oddly enough, none of these things are new. Perhaps I just started to realize them. Here's a list of the things that've kept me entertained thus far this summer.

(1) Beer. Nothing new. I like beer.
(2) Stumpy Pond. Adam told me about this place his uncle used to take him when he was a kid called "Stumpy Pond." Its a small lake around Great Falls, SC. My buddy Jeff and I go out there once a week now to fish and drink #1 Beer. I've yet to catch anything but severe sunburn, but its relaxing anyways and it's a nice drive to get there.
(3) Planning for school. I'm finally moving off campus. Don't get me wrong, no bad roommate experiences or anything (I wonder how Powell and Jeff feel about that) but its time to have my own room again. I never realized how much stuff you need to make a place livable. However, it is a nice reprieve from the drudgery of work.
(4) Traveling. Nowhere spectacular. Just a repeating cycle between Clemson and Charleston. Throw in a trip to the Dieu with Rhetto from the Ghetto and you've got a nice little summer going.
(5) Paydays. Paydays are entertaining in that they remind me why I don't drink during the week and, in turn, fund my poor life decisions during the weekend.

So, summer's about 2/3 done and it's not as bad as I thought it would be. This, however, does not dampen my resolve to return to Clemson as soon as possible. Ready to rage again. Go Tigers.
