Well….summer is almost over 
Ithas been a good one though, thoroughly enjoyed it! Sometimes feltlike I didn’t get much stuff done, but from talking to other people Ithink I did just fine 
. I’vespent about 3 or more hours each day doing something “productive” suchas playing guitar, working on my robotics, that kind of thing. I’ve also spent a lot of time getting this desktop computer allspiffied up and ready for the next school year. I think it’ll beMY computer this year… my preciousssss… You know, it needs a name,any suggestions? Quote from Adventures in Odyssey: “Eugene,you’re the only guy I know who can hug a computer and feel loved” Ibelieve it was Connie who said that 
Eugene rocks.

Aren’t they just loverly?
The other day my sister locked my up in this incompromisable fortress:
Someone come and rescue me!
We went to DA on Thursday to see all the people who were back forschool! Darren and I got to see everyone we wanted too, and meetall the new people we knew were coming aswell. Twas quitefun! We saw this cloud which seriously looked like Mrs. Piggy!
The other day Darren and I were at home for supper since my parents andRachel were at Magicland, so this is what we “cooked” up for ourselves.
What can I say, mayonaisse, mustard, butter, salsa, cheese, tomatoes, pickles, garlic, YUM!!
On Friday we went to the American Club for our tennis lesson, here’s me showing off my “awesome skills” 
notice how the tongue sticking out really helps my balance.
And Darren:
And then, it started to rain. The story of the past week. So, we swam in the rain, got soaked and I got to wear my shoes with NOsocks, go me! I am too cool.
And here is me, soaking wet:
Then that evening I had been invited to a DA Senior Class activity,nice to be included 
It was still kinda raining, so I hadtrouble getting a taxi, but I finally did get one, and on the way wehad a good conversation. I asked him what the feathers in his carwere, I’d seen them in other taxi’s too, and he told me that they wereto “keep accidents away and to make the client happy and talk a lot”Then he said it was like the amulet a lot of Senegalese have on theirarms, and showed me his. He noticed I didn’t have one, and askedmy why. So I told him I was a Christian, and he assured me he wastoo, pointing at the cross hanging from his rearview mirror. Iasked him a few more questions, told him that Jesus was my friend, andthen he stopped talking. But I was so happy that I got over myfear and I talked to him about God!! Yay!!
When I got to DA I saw the van of Seniors with the door literallysliding shut, so I ran across the sand yelling, screaming and waving myarms. Must’ve have a sight to see 
I got there only to find they already had 4 people to a row, and 5 inthe row behind the driver. We squished up more, 6 in that row,and because of traffic, I was stuck there for an hour and 15minutes…ah, felt so good to get out.
We had ***n, got ice cream downtown and just wandered around, but we gotaccosted by several guys selling cologne and stuff! I left earlyto take Purity, Janelle and Asiya home, Purity was feeling reaaaallyrotten.
So now, I try to make the most of tomorrow and wait expectantly for Monday…toodloo!
