Nothing much, just boring

  Level 5... I guess

  So it would appear that in the past few days i've leveled up to 35.

  Haven't done one of these in a while, but I will state that summer is officially over

  A bit of personal news, i officially quit the track team today since i hate running in a circle 8 times and instead i'm doing the play, which is called the Peter Pan Project in which i don't really know how it's working but we're like rewriting Peter pan or something. I did stage crew in the winter for the musical and enjoyed it so i figured i might as well actually do the play.

  Summer's Almost Over

  Well yeah, and i've done quite a bit.

  From the 4th to the 17th I went to a camp at Busch Gardens Tampa working with alot of the animals there. Over the course of the two weeks I worked with apes, gorrillas, squirrel monkeys, orangutans, black and white and ring tailed lemurs, porcupines, hippos, heyenas, lions, lorykeets(sp?), a florida panther, geckos, tarantulas, zebras, cape buffalo(there when one dropped), impala, camels, warthogs, meerkats, some fish, and some other stuff I can't remember. It was alot of fun, most likely going back next year again since this year was my second year.

  The day I got home was the only day of rest really because that saturday we had to leave for Wooster to drop my brother off for college. We listened to the seventh harry potter book on cd throughout the trip so it went pretty fast. Also we ended up finally getting aWii at a best buy in wooster which i would say is a good omen for my brother at that school.

  That's pretty much a condensed version of what I've been up to, so my next post probably won't be until that obligatory first day of school blog entry.

  A whole ton of crap, I call it life.

  Okay so I really haven't updated this like I should have with all the crap i've been doing, so i'll try to be as brief as I can, which may be hard since it's like 10 points of interest. I'll start off with finishing the last cruise I was on.

  Cruise Pt 3- Well the last place we went on my March cruise was the island of antigua. I went on some historic tour of Nelson's Dockyard, which was an old port in like the 1800's and a naval base. The cruise ended, there were alot of good people and i'm still in touch with alot of them.

  Diamond and Pearl- As many of you know Diamond and Pearl came out, well now it was a while ago, but whatever. I went into NYC with a friend and went to the release party they had at Nintendo World. I bought both versions and got some free stuff there. The game: it's been fun. At first i wasn't really liking it but that was because the only time i got to play it was like 2 am and it took me like 2 weeks to get through the elite 4. I finally finished breeding a competative team so I'm planning to ev train that this week since I'm free.

  End of School/Video Festival- Well the end of the year went well I guess. There isn't really anything to say about it but i feel like I should anyway. I also had the video festival. I had a video in there and people said they liked it. There really isn't anything else to say about that.

  Other Cruise- As most of you know i went on a cruise this past June. We went to St. Thomas, VI, Grand Turk, and Puerto Rico. It was probably my favorite cruise yet. The ship was the Crown Princess and it was a huge boat. There were like 3000 passengers on it not including crew. The first night I went to the teen stuff and that ended at 1. Then I walked around for probably 30 minutes and right before going to bed i ran into a group of people mainly aged 18-20 who were too old to do teen stuff but not old enough to drink. One of them shouted "Justin" at me and they told me to sit with them, so i became friends with them and they became my regular group of people after teen stuff ended. It was also great because i ended up getting with 3 girls. As you can probably tell I liked the cruise not as much for the places, but cause of the people. I'm still in great touch with almost all of the kdis and we're planning on having a reunion in ohio in a few months.

  Work- Like last year I'm spending this summer as a CIT at a camp near me that i went to for a number of years. Two weeks ago I had job training there, and my first week of work is a week from tommorow. I'm working with two groups of 1st and 2nd graders and 1 week with 3rd and 4th graders.

  Kentucky- Starting on the 23rd of June I went to Kentucky on a mission trip. We went to a town called Harlan, which was an old mining town, and worked with an organization called COAP. My first job was that we built a wheelchair ramp for an older couple. We finished that in 2 days and the next job we had was a roofing job. We had to tear the shingles off a roof and put new ones on. The last saturday we went white water rafting on the New River, the second oldest river in the world. It was alot of fun, and there was one rapid where i just jumped out voluntarily to have a bit of fun.

  Last Week- Last week I just kinda chilled, got in the groove of being back home. On Tuesday I saw Transformers with my friend, whcih ended up being an incredible movie. Probably the best I've seen all year. The rest of the week I just kinda spent haning out at the pool. I've gotten a bit of color, and because one of my friends is a lifeguard there i pretty much met all the other lifeguards there, which is cool. My Aunt's birthday was yesterdayso we went to their house about 40 minutes away for aBBQ. We had fireworks which we used afterwards, even though they'reillegal in NJ.We had some pretty crappy bottle rockets with bad fuses soone time wetied3 together and after the first oneshot the other two got shifted in the bottle tehy were in soone came shooting at my face which was cool, dodgedit though.

  I think that pretty much sums up the events of the last like 3 or4 months. Oh and by the way I've only got about 50 more posts until i reach 8k posts.
