Summer is going by way too fast. I know it always does and it does for everyone but this summer I don't even like my job as much anymore. My mom said I could stop work one week before I go back to school but I'm going to ask for two. I'm going to ask for August off. I just feel like it would help me feel like I actually got a summer break before

aw man thanks. it was so good to see you and jas and i'm sure i'll be seeing you both soon with caitlin being home and everything but really, we should hang out more often.

just be honest with your mom. like, if you're telling her honestly that you need a break - which it really sounds like you do - then i think you'll pretty easily convey how stressed you are.

yes! to hanging out with you more often and
thanks! for the advice. I can never hide how I really feel so hopefully I can use that to my advantage and my mom will see that I really am stressed about this.

i think the two weeks off thing sounds like a really good idea, because you definitely deserve a summer break and it seems like you've just been overloaded between transitioning to and from college and then going right into a full time job. if you say it exactly how you wrote it i think your mom would understand, just remember to be really calm about it and not make her feel like it's her fault, cause you work for her company right?

i was realizing the other day that i think it's hilarious how excited you get to come to minnesota because like...maryland is so awesome, and minnesota isnt exactly a prime vacation spot haha.

thanks wro : ) I hope/think she'll understand. she knows I work hard, especially compared to most people our age, and I've saved a TON of money so she can't be like "don't you want an extra week of money??" haha.

and yeah well I guess it's not so much WOO MINNESOTA as WOO CAITLIN (and your family of course) haha.
