The times they are a changin'

It's August 3rd. I have 16 days left working on the Island, and I'm offiicially ready for it to end. I'm not ready yet to leave the Island, but I'm ready to be done working on the Island. I hope that makes sense. I've literally had no down time this summer. As soon as finals week was over, I moved up here and started working. I'll be leaving the 19th back for home and will have to turn around 3 days later and head back up to MSU. Busy, busy, busy. That's kind of why I wish I could just stop right now and lay around and be lazy on the Island for the remainder of the time.

The next 16 days should fly by, however. They'll be characterized by a steady string of visitors, starting tomorrow with Brad and Tone. After the 19th, I look forward to a world where I can sample the Baconator at Wendy's, buy CDs again from a Best Buy, not pay over 3 bucks for milk, and relax and have a nice BBQ with my great friends to cap off another summer of our lives.

My time is limited here on Mackinac, and in a way I'm grateful for that. I'll soon begin my final semester of college. It's been an interesting and fun-filled journey this far, but in the words of Bob Dylan, "the times they are a changin'."

News from civilization: Milk is over three bucks pretty much everywhere now.
