Truthfully, I have mixed feelings about the summer ending. I have approximately two weeks before classes start on the 13th. I realized last night that I'll finally be going to school "for real." I'll actually have to concentrate on learning the material to apply in life and not just for periodic tests. Basically everything is falling into place for next semester except for housing. There were a few delays and I received an email from my roommate today that said the apartment complex would have a place available for us by mid-August. I'm hoping it's a generous estimate because we have to move in earlier than that otherwise we'll be camping for the first week of medical school.
I've successfully avoided having a job this summer which gave me the time to go with my church's youth group on a bike trip to Knoxville, TN. I drove the support vehicle for the week long trip, meaning I drove 60 miles a day at 10-15 mph. Everything went pretty well and the trip was fun. The only complication arose on the way back when the truck I was driving broke down about an hour north of Knoxville, forcing me to stay in TN until I could find people from church to drive down and haul me and the truck back to Indy. Luckily, the youth group was spending the week at a conference so I was able to camp out with them. The whole thing set me back 3 days and I had to rush around once I got back to get med school paperwork in. I'm caught up now but it was hectic.
Adding to the craziness was juggling getting the paperwork done and hanging out with Peter and Josh. Actually Peter called me within five minutes of returning from TN last Thursday because he had just gotten into town as well. Josh came down on Saturday and the three of us got to chill for about four days. We fished, bowled, shot pool, gambling at the local Catholic fair, and hit up BW's more than once. (There may have been some alcohol use involved as well :) ) Josh and I also accompanied Peter on gun buying binge because he couldn't go more than a few days without having one. Peter's still in town until the 7th so if anyone's coming through Indy soon, he'd love to see you.
I'm hoping to enjoy the next two weeks before this Med School nonsense starts. Slink, I'm looking forward to the wedding because it's conveniently the weekend after our first major test and I assume I'll need the break.

Well I'm glad you can use my wedding as a way to calm down your life a bit. You'll get an email in the next day or two about information for hotels (I can't house all of you and priority goes to the groomsmen). I'm figuring the most you guys would have to pay is about $40 for the hotel (I don't care if you say you have 2 and you house 4 thats your deal :)). Enjoy the last bit before the real learning starts. I can tell you it's a totally different experience.
