Summer satisfcation.

These past few days were what I imagined to be my ideal summer. :) I'm content, if not happy. I know summer is going to end soon and I want to make the best out of it. This week was certainly no adrenaline rush, but it kept me busy, refreshed, and sane.
On Tuesday I went with Sam, Linda & Mindy to Coney Island beach. (No matter how dirty Coney Island is, it somehow ended up being my usual beach destination.) We buried Linda and made her into a jellyfish :)

I had another yearbook meeting to attend on Wednesday. We haven't progressed much since the last meeting, but I think it'll all work out eventually. The theme is just hard to initialize. I went with Victoria to Barnes & Nobles afterward and we looked at a lotttttt of college books. They excite me!
I left after a few hours and headed to K-town for Linda's karaoke event. I had no voice and no energy that night, but it makes sense since I've been so tired lately. Nevertheless, it was fun :D Alan sat on Pocky and it looked like he pooped on himself, haha.

Friday was Kevin's birthday party. I went to his party last summer as well and I had so much fun. His friends are a little quirky, but I like meeting weird people--because well, I'm very weird myself. This year wasn't as fun as last year but it was still entertaining. The guests were completely different from last year's guests--I only recognized two or three faces.
The girls (Ariel, Dan, the twins & I) went through some trouble trying to get Kevin a gigantic birthday card and an ice cream cake from Baskin Robbins. We hid the card in the bathroom and took turns escorting the other guests in there to sign it. It was pretty silly. It made Kevin happy, so I'm glad.



We spent the rest of the day playing Mafia. (I kept dying, but it's okay because this was the first time I played this game.) Kevin's party ended pretty early, at around 7, because he had to spend his birthday with his family members as well. So I speed walked with Dan to the train station (the Coney Island neighborhood isn't exactly safe) and took the N to Bay Parkway. There, I had dinner with Lisa at Fugu, an inexpensive Japanese place.

Lisa and I went to see the Coney Island fireworks afterwards. At night, Coney Island was beautiful. And I mean it in the most humble way. Brooklyn has such an old-school feel to everything: the hip-hop music, the vintage food stands. As we sat on the boardwalk with our flip flops off, feet dangling above the dark waters, I felt so carefree and relaxed. My favorite type of summer nights :)

I'm looking forward to the rest of my summer. Next week I'm going on a college trip with Victoria and Joanne. I'm so excited! We're going to visit Amherst, Brandeis, Brown, and Bowdoin. =D I can't wait.
