Why August?

Already? This summer is fading too quickly for me. Sad thing is, I haven't met up with any freinds. Now, it was a normal occurance in past years, but with my sudden extra usage of the internet, and actually having thier phone numbers, my mother is really putting her foot down on this one. <:[  Unfortunatly , I hate using the phone since I get super nervous. It's scary! What should I do? <:(((
