Goodbye New York

I'll be heading back to the motherland in a few hours. I'm ecstatic about being able visit home and my relatives again. But at the same time, it is always hard leaving New York and my friends here, especially since I've spent such little time here this summer vacation.

The six weeks I spent in Evanston as a camp counselor was rewarding. Not only have I met some gifted, interesting kids, I've met great fellow counselors as well. The six weeks there turned out totally differently than what I thought it would be like, as I left training week disappointed and anxious about the job I was about to partake. But after the kids arrived, those feelings quickly dissipated, as I grew more in tune with the daily grind. Not to mention that I was fortunate to be able to play soccer numerous times per week with kids who are passionate about the sport, I can't complain.

Summer is only half over for me, and hopefully I can take the next month and make the most out of it.

If somehow I can't get pass the censoring stuff back home and can't log on to facebook/blogger and such. Hope everyone enjoy the rest of their summers. Hopefully I'll be able to still see some of you when I get back.
