The constant pains of my life

I've gotten over my depression and sadness mostly lately.  Now I am suffering through the physical pains brought on by the major trauma my body went through.  I get intestinal pains 24/7.  The pain isn't super bad, but it sure does wear down on you after a week and a half.  I went to the doctor, and really the only thing I can do is get on a regular eating, sleeping and exercise schedule and wait it out.  I have watched soooo much Netflix lately, it's started to become boring.  I guess you could say that I'm bored of summer...already.  I haven't seen much of my friends because...let's see...one of them lifeguards at the pool, one of them is in Colorado, one of them is doing I-don't-know-what at I-don't-know-where, a bunch of them are interning at the Discovery Space Center like all the time....Which reminds me...My soul has been reclaimed by the Discovery Space Center.  I decided to go back and intern there for a few reasons:
1) I can't technically "volunteer" because my grades aren't good enough and will probably never be
2) My mom says I need to do something else with my summer besides watch The Office and Disney shows all day
3) I do kinda miss shooting children and doing the randomest of things inside a room modeled to look like a space ship

So...yeah...that's why I'm back there.  Also, I'm really confused about what's going on at the original Space Center at Central Elementary.  They opened for the summer for camps, they just can't have the kids spend the night.  I've tried emailing the new director, but I haven't heard back from her in like a month...so...who knows?  The previous director, Mr. Williamson, has moved on to another project at Renaissance Academy in Lehi, but he's still put himself in charge of all of the volunteer programs at Discovery and Central.  I personally think that he needs to let go because it should be the responsibility of each space center to separately maintain their own volunteer programs and adjust them to their needs, but my opinion probably won't change anything.

On another note, something I've been fond of lately is going on scooter rides.  And yes, I mean a push scooter.  I do feel kind of like a young elementary school kid again whenever I ride it places.  It's quite useful for getting exercise when I have a place I need to go that's either in my city, or in neighboring ones.  My grandparents are moving soon though, so they have 2 old bikes in their basement and I will claim one of them for myself so I can go longer distances.  I'm planning on maybe going up to the BYU Museum of Art with it, and maybe just wandering around all the cool buildings on campus.  I will finally be able to go and appreciate art in a museum without my little brother around to disturb the peace. 

Well, I think I might go on a scooter ride soon.  I just have to decide, should I go to the cemetery, or to the temple?
