The end of summer has completely run away from me. I feel as though just yesterday I was moving into my apartment and now I am about to go off on vacation and when I return it will be fall.
I also took a trip out to my school this evening and seeing all of the kids back on campus also reminds me that summer is over. I will be teaching swim lessons this fall on Saturdays so that I can keep my certifications current. I will likely work a few life guarding shifts in throughout the fall as I was informed by the director that I can earn a higher pay as a swim instructor if I am a current lifeguard. I did not know this before because I always did both.
While out at the pool meeting I met up with the swim teacher that took over my private lessons when I left and I found out that the littlest one is now swimming. It makes me miss my former swim kids even more.
Also tonight I had dinner with two of my friends and former residents from my floor last year. That combined with a online message from another resident saying she misses me AND one of my dearest friends from school spending the weekend with me, but today returning to the east coast... I feel lonely for the first time this summer. It's not a bad lonely. It's a healthy reminder that there are people out there that you miss and that they miss you. Tomorrow night I am going to the final out door movie with several of my friends and Friday I am off to see my family!
On a side note: I LOVE MY JOB! I loved being greeted in the morning with happy giggles and smiles. Watching his face light up when he realizes that I have again come to play with him. I love watching him stare with amazement at the simplest things. Six months is really one of my favorite stages.
