Winding Down, Winding Up

First of all-- I had a freaking fabulous weekend. Soundset (an outdoor hip-hop festival) was this weekend, and even though it's easy to mock for being a whitewashed, bro-tastic celebration of middle-class male insecurity, it was also a really good time. I got a very cute one-sided sunburn from standing facing one direction for six hours, and I used my sneaky short girl skills to weasel my way up close to the stage.

The weekend also involved an L Word marathon, ordering in Chinese food, lounging at a park, chatting with mall security, going on runs (plural! Actually!), and trying not to laugh hysterically with my best friend through a Catholic mass. Excellent.

Second of all, as the title suggests, things are ending and beginning. My two Central classes are wrapping up (meaning we haven't been doing anything in them for weeks), this week is the last week of track, and summer is just generally chasing out the school year. However, due to this new-fangled unschooling thing I'm doing, I'm trying not to see summer as a time when my personal efforts end. I'm slowly drafting a plan for summer, and for the next year, and that (along with my creeping dread Cross Country captain's practices every day this summer at 9AM) is winding up.
