Quick little notice: Even though I said that this blog was for the summer only, I've decided that I'm going to keep it going into the Fall, mostly because I don't want to go through the hassle of starting a new blog and getting a bunch of people to look at it again, since I ask enough of my friends already. I guess that that doesn't really count as much of a an ending or beginning, so I'll get onto the real topic of conversation for today.
Yesterday (technically) was my last day at my summer job, thus ending the last tie I have to home as far as obligations and activities. The next big step in my life is finalizing all the packing for college, and then moving in. It's kind of hard to accept that the tutorial for life (which is what I like to think of the first 18 or so years of life as) is over, and the real game is only just about to begin. I'm really excited, kind of sad, and, to be honest, sort of scared. Sure, living on a college campus isn't completely the same as living on your on for the first time, because everyone there is looking out for freshman that are way too in over their heads, unlike the real world. In the real world, there aren't as many people to help, and often, if you go in over your head in this real world, you drown. It's being one step closer to that "real world" that's got me spooked a bit.
Luckily for me, I've got a little something in my back pocket that let's me know that I'm ready for the real world, because as of Monday, August 17th, 2015, I am an Eagle Scout in the BSA. For those of you who don't know, the Eagle Scout Rank is one of the highest honors in Scouting, with only 4 out of every 100 Scouts ever achieving it. It warrants an instant pay-grade boost for enlisted men, is on the resumes of two of the men who walked on the moon, and has been the focus of my life for the past 13 years. So, it's kind of a big deal to me. Just a little bit. Though it may seem like the pinnacle of a Scouting career, I've got to say that this is more of a beginning than an ending. I only get to spend eight years of life as a Boy Scout, but I get to spend the rest of it as an Eagle Scout. Pretty neat, me thinks.
Anyways, it's kinda 1:25 in the morning, so I think I'll stop this here.
See y'all later!
