I’m determined to make this summer the best one yet, and I think it will. First off, I’ll be excited to just have a kitchen and cook for myself again. Living in the dorm sucks- food sucks, Rockland sucks … food on campus just sucks. Then, most of my friends are still at school in CP, so I’ll be going there a lot to hang out with them. Then, when Ryan gets out of school, we’re going to take a road trip to New Jersey and visit my family and take him to New York. Afterwards, towards the end of May, my best friend from Japan is coming to visit me! I have no idea what I’ll do with her, but she’s still coming! Then in June, I start my volunteering at a camp! I’m so excited! Kids are amazing and I’m so excited to be surrounded by them. At the end of the June, I’m going with Ryan and his father to go to New Mexico for a week and visit his family! Ryan is half Filipino and half Native American, so being amongst the Native American culture is something I look forward to! Then in July, my family is letting me go home to the Philippines for a whole month by myself! For the first two weeks, I’ll visit my aunt’s family in the islands- particularly Cebu. Cebu has the cleanest beaches, the nicest resorts that give the best messages, and some of the best food Philippines has to offer. Then the last two weeks, I will spend it at my dad’s side and mom’s side. My dad’s side has tons of little kids, so I’ll be really excited to spend time with them. My mom’s side has only her brother left in the Philippines because everyone else is in America! Then in August, it’s up in the air. Nothing is set in stone, but I’m still looking forward to everything this summer!
