I spent the past week at my family's beach house in New Jersey. My dad co-owns it with his brother, and the neighborhood has some pretty big, fancy beach houses with balconies and stuff.

And then there's our house.

Last Friday was the last day of school! Now, for most of you, you're probably not getting out yet. But thanks to my school being a small private school, we get to have a slightly different calendar, which allows us to do stuff like this. Now, if you're a kid, or can remember some shred of what it was like to be a kid, the last day of school holds special significance to you. It represents the end of tedious tests and homework, and heralds a season of freedom. A season for which I have made big plans, and will definitely tell you about when they happen.
