from june until september you're all i remember

I do apologize (to all three people who read this blog when they’re bored) about my lack of blogging activities. It’s not that I’m so busy that I can’t find absolutely no time to turn out some sort of dribble on here, in fact I have quite a lot of free time. I’ve just become extremely lazy.

My summer so far has been without incident. I’ve started work at Office Depot and work pretty much every night stocking and fixing up the store. It’s boring but I work by myself so I like it.

On my first week there I was learning how to check people out on the register and a couple gave me their money and as I was counting it a fly flew up my nose. Im not making this up. I started rubbing by nose and blowing and finally he popped out. Somehow I managed to do this without the couple knowing or drawing attention to myself.

At night the manager has to count the register and he picks whoever is standing closest to him to double check his counting and it turned out to be me. As I was counting I realized this was the first time I had ever held a thousand dollars in my hands and you know what? It wasn’t as much money as you think (partially because it was all in hundred dollar bills). Still, it’s quite a bit of money to my nineteen year old self.

I’ve recently subscribed to Netflix and I think the moment I did I kissed goodbye to what little social life I had for the rest of the summer. I spend so much time on Netflix reading reviews and looking at movies recommend to me it’s not even funny.

Every day for the past week Alex, Ben, my brother, and I have been driving to Ault elementary in Fairfield to play 2 on 2 basketball. Alex and I are one team and my brother and Ben are on the other. Alex and I have dubbed our team name as “Team BAWS” (pronounced BOSS) which stands for “Brian Alex Williamson Sanders” (our names combined in a weird order). While the enemy has dubbed their name (a rather lame one if I do say so myself) as “Team BS squared”, which stands for Ben Beadle Steven Sanders”….Iknowright?

We play 3 games and best two out of three wins the title of “CHAMPIONS FOR THE DAY”. Team BAWS has won one title while team BS squared has won one also. Although I am not considering their win as an actually win because I rolled my ankle (pain) in the second game which allowed them to score without challenge from me.

Nights spent staying up late, reading too much, working with people I’ll probably never see again, hot days, dry summer grass, and old memories.

The summer never ends.
