Despite, the freaky rains, to everyone's mind, it's still summer and even if the rain has sent everybody scurrying for shelter, that won't stop them from having fun. I've had my share of good times and bad times during the summer. When things are great, the good times really roll and you're having the time of your life. Then before you know it, the summer's over and it's back to the grim realities of the everyday grind. It'sad when good times don't last long and especially when you haven't had your fill of them yet. Thinking about that reminds of the Motels' song "Suddenly Last Summer".
I can understand why kids go crazy when vacation time because they want to get the most out of those two and a half months alloted to them. After all that studying or even working, we all need some time to enjoy a bit. When we do find something that gives meaning to this period, we want it to last a lifetime. When we really get deep into it, we think that time stops for us. You get that feeling that you don't need anything else for you are now in bliss and wish that it could last forever.
Sadly, like a good dream, there comes a time for it to end. It's getting a rude awakening after savoring a good dream from a deep sleep. As much as it stinks, it's time to move on. Still, we did have some great times and that will always remain in our minds and in our hearts. Even if we didn't get our fill, there's always next summer and that is enough.
