Vacation.....Where Art Thou?

   It is summer vacation. This usually means swimming, going to the beach, getting a sun tan, or watching endless movies.... uhm no. First of all I can't swim. I freak out when I am in water and can potentially put other people's life in danger as well. Tan is unfortunately not an option because my skin is tan enough.
  It feels like summer has come and gone but new and interesting things have happened in the past two months. For one I started volunteering at the hospital and I am enjoying that. I like helping people and seeing a smile on their faces. I also learned all these new words such as venous cannulation and nosocomial infection that I thought didn't even know existed. I think the most fun part of this summer is spending time with my family. It is amazing how even when things are going so wrong that your family is there for you and supporting you. We had good times laughing with each other or at each other. We had fun attempting to do cardio exercises that gave soreness to our bodies. We also had times that we couldn't handle it anymore and needed to do something. However, this summer has been fun and somehow peaceful. I guess vacation is not necessarily going somewhere and doing fun things. I guess it is about resting and enjoying time with the people that you love because those are the moments that last.
