Oh, Summer, Summer! Wherefore Art Thou Summer?

Is this not the most depressing forecast?

As I have previously expressed, it is summer; the time when I degenerate from, neat little Bethany with her 4.0 into crazy little Bethany who always wears sun dresses and never brushes her hair. Although that change has not failed to occur, it still doesn't feel like summer. The greatest contributing factor to the lack of summerly feeling is the rain, the constant, driving, never-ending rain! I have never known it to rain so much in my existence, or, indeed, rain with such a steady pattern. It starts off with a little sprinkle, continues with the slow drop of gigantic drops, and then it suddenly changes to a torrential downpour which lasts only a few minutes, it then becomes a steady rain shower. It is depressing!

However, this is not the only topic I wished to talk about, so I must move on. At the end of the summer,
Allen County Public Libraries holds a photography competition for students, so during summer I start to look through my photos to decide which are worth entering. I have many photos that I love, but I can only enter three into each of the four categories, so there are always some that I regret I cannot enter. Because of my regret for not giving these photos a chance to be seen, I am going to make a page on my blog where I will publish the best of the pictures that I am not entering. I would love to post the ones that I am entering, but the acpl can get a little tetchy about things like that.

Oh, and one last thing, aren't you (all one of you who read this) proud of me? I broke my lazy tendency to post only once a month!

Apologies and the Sarcasm of Fifteen Year Old Sisters.

Today I have two things to talk about. Firstly, I must apologize for not having posted in an unacceptably long time. I was extremely busy and just didn't have the energy to post. Now, however, I am not spending eight hours of everyday at school, and hopefully this will give me more time for blogging.

Secondly, last Thursday my mother, sister, and I were driving through downtown. I was thinking about all the interesting places in Ft. Wayne that I had never been to, or even known of. As we crossed one of my favorite streets, So Wayne Avenue, I voiced the opinion that there are many interesting things in the city. To this my sister  spoke with the sarcasm that only fifteen year old girls can muster, "Oh yes! Fort Wayne is such an amazing city." A response to which I could only reply that she was right; Fort Wayne is quite amazingly interesting. Once I had convinced her that I was serious, I told her that me and my mother we're thinking of going to a new place in the city every week. I began making a list of places we should go, and discovered just how right I had been. Why didn't I know that Firehouse #3 was now a cafe? Why had I never been to the canal house or the old fort? From now on, we will be visiting all these places and more, and I hope that I will have time and enough interest to blog about each of them. For now, however I must go kill off the worlds population with a deadly disease.
