Where did the summer go?

Olympics madness has struck.  I've been obsessed with the Olympics since 2000 when they were in Sydney (That's also when I fell in love with the idea of Australia, but that tends to happen no matter where they are, unless they're somewhere in Asia).  I will now forgo outside activities in the real world in order to plop down in my chair for 4 hours a night and watch the games.  It can really suck you in.  I'm going to try to drag myself away and go out for running club Tuesday night.

Can't believe July is now almost over.  What is with this summer flying by like mad?  This is pure craziness.  I'm just about done with my work for my summer classes and then it's 3.5 weeks off until new classes and a month til practicum.  My feelings toward second year and practicum range from petrified to very excited.  I'm just glad I still have some time left to really enjoy the last of summer.  Can't wait for more adventures in my favorite place--Colorado and the Rockies.

I came across a park near Navy Pier on my last long run.  It had the most stunning views of the city I've seen yet.  I had to stop and take pictures and a video.  Love finding new beautiful things in this city.  In some ways I think it'd be really fun to stay here more than 2 years.  Especially now that I've seen how wonderful things can be in the summertime.  But...I think my journey leads elsewhere.  Who knows what the future holds?

That's half the fun.
