Summer

Summer. It's the greates time of year. I, personally love it, (apart from the constant droning flies) and although it's a great time, it gives me space to think about, well, life. Well I love summer, I don't actually get anything done much. I had planned a few things in the holidays, but as always (for me anyway) the plans went lopsided. I had planned to go camping with my 4 best friends but 3 of them weren't able to come because of arrangements that had already been made with other friends/family. It was still going to be a great time though, just me and my other best friend, Fenella. We had it almost all planned out until about a week before we were going my mum pulled the plug on it because there wasn't enough money in bank to get to the beach/pay for accommodation. It was extremely unfortunate and I was pretty gutted, but life goes on and you can't sit around waiting for something to happen. I did get to catch up with 3 of my friends a couple of days ago, Isaac,Georgia and Fenella. It was great to catch up with them and even better to see how much they had changed and how much more cool they have become (although in truth, you guys have always been cool) the highlights of my summer have been, Christmas Eve, staying up past 2 waiting for Christmas with my brothers. Roadtripping in Porirua with the whole family (all 12) and having a great New Years chat with three of my older brothers about burritos. Another highlight was going down to the tennis courts and playing tennis with my brothers and sisters. One night my second oldest brother Nate took his Subaru for one last boost with me, my other brothers Dan and Jords and one of my sisters Beka. Listening to 'dancing in the moonlight' by top loader staring at the stars as we cruised through the countryside was truly amazing. Longboarding streets with Nate made me feel free and alive. The last memory of my summer was hanging out with Georgia, Isaac and Fenella was great. We played truth or date which was a laugh and included me having a spoonful of absolutely disgusting Tabasco sauce, Isaac drinking a soy sauce shot, and me doing chubby bunnies then singing and acting *thanks Fenella* Anaconda by Niki Minaj. Ugh. I hate that song. 

All in all, my holidays have been truly great, and although I didn't get to catch up with my friends (who I miss like crazy everyday) much, it was still a great summer. So all I can say is.....

BRING ON NEXT YEAR 🎉
