Summing Up My Summer

Before anything else, I just wanna say that I wouldn't and couldn't call my summer break a "holiday", because it wasn't exactly a holiday. It was all sorts of work. 

My internships ate up three months of my supposed "break", a couple of articles for various publications here and there, thesis bugged me during my free time, and I had to attend to a lot of org work in between. I'm pretty much a zombie now, actually. But with my senior year starting and all, I know things will keep me undead for quite some time. 

Anyhow, I managed to have some "fun" (whatever that means) whenever I got the chance to, and it kept me sane enough. 

Here are some snaps from my summer break:

When I found out that Musica Iuvenalis, a Slovak string orchestra
from Košice, was performing near my hometown, I decided to spend my
afternoon and last day of summer "break" listening to the pieces they'd play.
After all, I was invited by the sister of one of my closest friends, and it's a great
way to chill. I really had fun, and even got to meet some of the musicians :)

 [The female musicians were really beautiful, while some of the younger guys were really cute, I have to admit! I just had to have a photo with them - the first time I had the guts to ask [attractive] total strangers for a photo-op :D]

Oh well, so much for summer. School again for me tomorrow -_-
