...

I just have to say this. I love my family. I love spending time with my aunts and cousins. And I love going to family reunions. With all that being said, I find it's odd that I'm not close to my mom and my grandma. I'm closer to my aunts and cousins in Alberta, and my aunt who lives down the street. I guess it's just one of the ways that life can be funny sometimes. But moving on from all this life shit; these past few weeks have been packed with summer fun.

I've had too much fun and done too many things with my family to name all of them but I'll try to list a few. So let's see.
-I got my hair cut and dyed red
-I partied a lot, but that's just what my family does
-We went to the market and I got a new purse
-I tried to fix my aunt's violin but instead I ended up snapping a few strings, oops.
-I learnt that it's no longer a "brain freeze" according to my aunt it's a "freeze brain"
-I went to my family reunion, which was just amazing and so much fun
-I played lots of volleyball
-I went swimming to the beach once, but I didn't have my bathing suit so I had to go in my clothes
-I watched my uncle teach kids how to back flip off a dock "the Alberta way"
-I learnt how to two-step with my aunt
-I re-twisted my ankle
-and last but not least I had to say goodbye.

Saying goodbye is always the hardest. I hate it. I hated watching my aunts board the plane, and I hated watching the plane take off. I also hated watching one of my aunts cry as she was leaving, that broke my heart. But I know that life goes on and that summer is almost far from over. School is inching closer and closer every day. However I still have a few activities left up my sleeve.

Speaking of activities; the Olympics just ended today. They were amazing, as usual. Canada only won 18 medals though, with just one gold. The USA won like 105 or something like that. Which is just crazy. I'd like to know how they manage that. I guess in the end it doesn't really matter, because every country is proud of their athletes because hello, Olympics, that's a pretty awesome achievement.
