Let's see: I did pretty much nothing for a week and a half after school got out, then I went to nerd camp for three weeks. It was AMAZING! I met so many awesome people, and it was nice to be away from home for a while. I took a course on International Relations that was really interesting, too.
Anyway, camp was awesome, but getting back to Austin was awful. I got up at four in the morning to get to the Greensboro (North Carolina) airport. My flight to Atlanta left at 7:15, and everything went really well until I got there. My plane landed around 8:30 and my flight to Austin was supposed to leave at 11:15, so it was already a long layover. I got through that all right, but then they delayed the departure for half an hour because they had to get an airplane out of the "old hangar". When it got there, all the passengers got on, and we started on our way to the runway. After a while, I realized that we were just going around in circles. A few minutes later, they announced that there was a problem with the airplane's engine, so we were all just going to have to get off again! When I got back inside the airport, there was a thunderstorm. By the time that had cleared up and they'd gotten another plane, it was 1:30. Now that I read all that, it doesn't seem that bad, but I was alone, exhausted, and bored. It was torture.

Anyway, when I finally got back to Austin, I was exhausted--I'd only gotten three hours of sleep the night before!. When my mom picked she up, she informed me that I had to go see my grandparents and aunt. That would've been all right, but I also had to go to my friend's birthday party afterwards. Which meant that I had to go buy her a present, too. She also told me that we were leaving AS EARLY AS POSSIBLE THE NEXT MORNING for the beach.
I was at my friend's house until about 10:30, so you can probably guess how I felt the next morning. Then I had to endure two days of driving with my little brothers. They never shut up. It was fun once we got to the beach, though. We were somewhere on the Alabama coast (yes, it does have some coastline. Just not very much) and I picked up more seashells than I know what to do with.
Ummm... After that, I went to a creative writing camp. Then: SUMMER BAND. That was fun... 8 in the morning to 5 in the evening every day, out in the hot sun, being yelled at by my section leaders every five seconds... I'm actually only being a little bit sarcastic. It WAS really fun.
Then school started. That's pretty much it.
