August 31st!

Its the final day of mandatory blogging. I don't know whether to be happy or sad. I guess I'm a bit of both. I'm happy because I started to not do such a great job writing everyday so some of that obligation will be gone. But at the same time I'm sad because this was a great way for me to hear about Mariah and Mikaella's days because I don't see them everyday now. :(

So today was okay. School was school but I guess its getting better. What was really great was that Mariah, Savannah, Mikaella, and I all hung out at my house for a few hours after school. The funniest part was that they all beat me to my house. haha. Today was great fun. Mariah and I decide that we are going to go to both of our proms together! haha. We're going to recycle our dresses and attend both so that we get a wonder Junior Prom experience. I can't wait to hang out with the girls again soon.

Tomorrow I have school and then I'm helping Jess babysit at the elementary school and then we are heading up to Northlake to do a little shopping with my sister. Fun stuff man. I'll be shopping for myself and my sister is just tagging along because my mom has to work late. I need some books to read so if anyone has any suggestions just let me know.

Trying to get back on track

So I blogged this morning telling everybody about the day that I had yesterday so I'm deciding to blog again and tell you all, all about my day today. It was rather uneventful. I got out of bed after I posted, made some biscuits that I then ate with butter and grape jelly (the only way to eat a warm biscuit. lol.) I then went and showered and got ready to go to the mall. While at the mall I bought a book for english, The Scarlett Letter, its supposed to be really good so I'm looking forward to reading it. I also purchased a couple of t-shirts from Old Navy and was looking into finding some jeans. As I was leaving the mall I saw the CUTEST houndstooth jacket in Forever 21, but the problem was that they didn't have my size. It was a very sad moment, but I'm sure its a good thing that my obsession wasn't fed anymore. haha. Once I got home from the mall I did some chores, cleaned my room, and tried to work on my homework. I ended up getting my chem homework done but my english project is another story. Its due on Tuesday and I just don't know what to do for it. I'm kinda up a creek without a paddle. Finally right before I got into bed and began this post I watched, X-MEN: The Last Stand, which happens to be one of my all time favorite movies. Well I think thats all for tonight. I'm heading to bed because I have to go to school in the morning. But mostly I'm excited for tomorrow afternoon because my very best friends in the whole wide world are coming over. YAY!

So I'm a little behind

I again fell asleep last night but I'll post this morning and then again tonight. It was funny though because I woke up at 2 and thought "Crap I didn't blog" but I decided not to do anything about it so I went back to sleep. So both Mariah and Mikaella have mentioned that we only have a couple days of mandatory blogging left. I agree with Mikaella that we should do something else because I will feel weird not to have to blog everyday. Even though I didn't do that great of a job with it.

Yesterday, I woke up at 5 and spent the entire day with my mom at work. Apparently I was a really big help but I don't know that I believe her. I did a lot of jobs that just get pushed aside because there are more important things to do in the office. I also tried to work on my homework but I didn't have the motivation to do any of it. haha. I don't know what I'm doing today but I'll give you the full run down tonight on the, I'm sure, exciting day my family has planned. It actually probably won't be that exciting. Oh well.

8pm on a Friday Night

Today was craziness. Thankfully it was the last day of school for the week. OMG I'm so sick of school already. I knew I would want to hit myself when I said that I was ready for school to start again. I miss everybody from Northwest! I found myself doodling all throughout the day (normally empire-waist dresses) on scrap paper just to stay awake. haha.

I find myself pretty pathetic that I'm sitting in bed on a Friday night at 8 o'clock ready to go to sleep. I guess thats what I get though. The transition for this week didn't seem that hard but I can tell that by the way my body is running tonight that it hit me harder than normal.

Well that's my little rant of the day. I think I'm going to go to bed listening to the rain fall. :)

Days 2 and 3

Well I'm a bad blogger but a good student I guess you could say because I decided last night that sleeping was more important than blogging. Sorry guys.

Yesterday: Day 2, I guess it was okay, better than Day 1 but still not great. I'm really missing all my friends and that makes me crazy because I don't see any of my besties anymore. :( First period is probably my favorite class. Mr. B is pretty cool and younger so that makes his teaching a little more fun because he knows what we like as students because he went through it not to long ago. Second was okay, Spanish isn't really my thing but I think with some help from my mom I'll be okay. Since she lived in Mexico for a while and everything she speaks pretty good Spanish. Third period is a complete bore that puts me to sleep. It doesn't help that Ms. Lowder's room is like an ice box. haha. We learned about sig figs, and lets just say she can't teach anything simplistically so I'm having a little bit of trouble. Fourth period, is Ms. Campbell and she is just odd. I swear her favorite saying is "Nature of the Beast". Don't ask me why but she says it all the time. That and she uses the word "stuff" a lot which I find really weird for an English teacher.

Today: Day 3, Cox Mill is growing on me. I know its horrible to say but I really miss the crowds of Northwest though. Gasp, I know. Well today went a lot like yesterday so there isn't really anything new to report. Though there has been this really big Vandalism War going on between Cox Mill and Northwest. I don't really want to tell the whole story but if you don't know and you want to message me on facebook and I'll give you the details that I have.

Well thats all for tonight because my homework has been completed and I want to go to sleep. TTFN. :)

First Day of School.

So today was my first day of junior year, meaning that I only have one more first day of high school in my schooling career. Yay! Well this morning was actually okay. I woke up at the right time which if you don't know me well is a great improvement. After getting up and ready I made my lunch which was small but still good. I then made myself half a bagel to eat for breakfast. Once I was all ready to go it was about 6:45 and my ride was just pulling up to my house. I'm very thankful for this ride so that I don't have to ride the bus that often. Once we arrived to school the entire student body was kept in what they call the "Commons" until 7:15 when we were allowed to go to homeroom.
For homeroom I have Ms. Kilburn who I had for Foods freshman year and didn't really like to begin with, its a good thing that we don't have homeroom to often after the first few weeks of school. After spending almost 45 minutes in homeroom I made my way to first period.
First period is Honors US History with Mr. Bargehlo. He seems like a pretty cool guy, he's younger and graduated from JRob. He coaches football and is pretty cute even if he is a teacher.
Second period was okay but thats my freshman class due to the fact that it is Spanish I. I have Ms. Legra who is stick skinny and like a model but has a great obsession with shoes, which isn't a bad thing.
I have Honors Chemistry with Ms. Lowder for third period, and despite how her name might sound she puts me to sleep. Chem is a hard class to begin with and she drowns on and on with a soft pitched voice that just doesn't keep me interested. This class will be a struggle I'm sure.
Lunch was different. At Northwest it was a hunt and peck to find a seat on the first and then after that you were set. The cafe was always also very loud. Both of these things though didn't happen at Cox Mill. They even let us leave the "Dining Hall" as they call it to enter the "Commons" to socialize.
Honors English III is my final class of the day. My teacher Ms. Campbell, seems okay but you can't really judge from the first day. I know she has pretty good taste in Literature, which is a plus because it is a passion of mine, but I have a feeling she will get rather annoying rather quickly.
Today didn't drag on as I thought it would, it was rather quick and painless. I'm just wondering what the rest of the week will bring.
I miss Mariah and Savannah and seeing there faces, I felt homesick during the day because I didn't have the chance of running into them. Hopefully this will get better.

FINAL DAY OF FREEDOM!

My final day of summer wasn't a complete bust at least. It was actually okay. My mom was a jerk this morning and came in before she left for work telling me that I had missed the bus. I wanted to throw my phone at her. haha. I watched my sister, went swimming, got my iPod working again, and spent some time with the fam. I am now going to bed because even to my dismay school is starting tomorrow even if I don't want to get up for it. Well ta ta. I'll have a longer post tomorrow telling all my readers all about my lovely(or not) first day of Junior year. The novelities of first days are starting to wear off. Anyone agree?

Okay day.

You know I'm kinda glad that its almost the end of August because I am having the worst time getting myself to blog. haha. Well today was okay. I got up this morning with my entire body being sore from playing corn hole at the party yesterday and then I got to help clean our laundry room because we had a new washer and dryer being deleivered today. My mom loves it so thats what matters. Other than that I didn't do much drove to target, cleaned my room, computer desk, hooked up my printer to my computer, and transferred a butt load of music. I'm going to bed now and I'm sorry this is so short but nothing really of interest happened today.

CORN HOLE!

Today, well I guess yesterday was fun, but this is for the 21st so whatever. I spent my morning in the kitchen making a double batch of chocolate chip cookies, and then I made a double batch of my mom's cheesy hash browns; one of my all time favorite dishes. I also took my dog for a walk which was nice for him. I made all the food though for a back to school party I attended at the Thorton's house. It was a lot of fun. There was a really big corn hole (bean bag) game going that lasted hours. By the end of the night I was getting pretty good. It had also rained for a little bit so during that time we went inside and played a card game called, Blitz, which you play with quarters and a pot. All in all it was a fun night. Now I have no plans for tomorrow but I think I'm going to try and go to youth, should be a fun time if I can get there. Well thats all for now because I'm exhausted.

I'm the worst blogger ever. sorry

With this past week and life back in reality I feel like I never stop doing something. I didn't blog last night because by the time i got to my computer I had already been asleep for hours on the couch and was to worn out to even think about it.

Yesterday wasn't that exciting I didn't do much just watched my sister during the day. And hung out with my family that night until I fell asleep on the couch. Its a good thing our couches are so comfortable.

Today on the other hand was pretty busy.. I was up this morning helping get my sister ready for an appointment that she had. And while I thought that she was going to come home after the appointment and we were going to spend the day at the pool, that didn't happen and I ended up having the day to myself. While I tried to restart plans that Savannah and I had made today it just didn't happen because she already had plans. It was okay though. I went to my sister's open house later where she met her new teacher, Ms. Taylor. She seemed like a nice lady. After the open house we went to Wal*Mart and I picked up some basic school supplies. Pretty much everything except my binders because I didn't want to buy the wrong sizes. After getting home from Wal*Mart my sister and I decided to watch Hannah Montana: The Movie. :)

Well thats all for now because I am going to bed.
I'll post pictures of the party that I'm attending tomorrow along with my post in order to get back on track I believe that'll put me back where I was at before I got home.

Falling Asleep and CMHS

So, I am a horrible blogger. Last night after I got home from my Orientation/Open House at my NEW SCHOOL I was watching tv with my mom and I fell asleep on the floor and then ended up sleeping the night on the couch, which happened to be really rather comfortable. Because I fell asleep I didn't get a chance to blog last night so this is my blog for yesterday and I will post again tonight before I go to bed for today.

COX MILL HIGH SCHOOL: Is one of the most beautiful schools I have ever been in. Its brand new and really super clean. They have the newest technology to enhance a students learning experience. The Common Area of the school consists of a long high with high cathedral ceilings with huge sky lights. The media center actually has a good number of both fiction and non-fiction books. :) Its like a maze though because if you don't know where you're going you are going to get lost, but I guess that is true for most situations at new schools, whether you're a freshie or a junior. This school is truly amazing and my schedule will be hard this year but here with the teachers and the technology that I have I should excel my own expectations. Well that's all for now but you'll here more out of me later

--Yaya Writes

P.S. My history teacher is really cute and I've had many agree with me, I'm thinking that's going to be a hard class to concentrate in, especially having it 1st period. :)

In need of some inspiration

I have decided that because I don't have a car and can't drive myself anywhere my life is extremely boring. So I have decided that some inspiration is needed. So I'm waiting for it. In the mean time, I didn't do anything today besides clean my room that had been a disaster area after I unpacked. lol. I have a feeling that tomorrow will be better though because I am going out with my best friend Jessica who I haven't seen all summer. yay! Well thats pretty much all for tonight because I'm not inspired enough or creative enough to write anything else. So sorry

Amazing fun!

Today+Mariah+Mikaella+Park Pictures+Target=THE BEST DAY OF MY LIFE!

Today was absolutely amazing! First off it was great because I got to see Mariah and Mikaella for the first time in like 2 months. I was oh so extremely excited! Mariah and I went out for coffee (well I got coffee Mariah got a smoothie) then we went to Target and I was SUPER DUPER excited because I hadn't been to Target in 2 months (that was torture). lol. After "coffee" and Target we went back to Mariah's house where we hung out until we went to a park out in Belmont and hung with some of the Bruce girls friends from church. While we were there we took some really fun pictures on train tracks, which I don't have but Mikaella does. (BTW: I want those pictures. PLEASE?) We then road home and talked about Mikaella starting HIGH SCHOOL! It was all around a wonderful day. I am surely going to miss Mariah and Mikaella this school year while I attend Cox Mill, and they continue their journey at Northwest!

Love you ladies!

--Yaya Writes

HOME!!!!!!!!

Now sorry to say this is just going to be a couple sentences but that is because I have had the longest day of my life. Just wanted to say that I made it home in one piece. Can't wait to hang with Mariah tomorrow, we are going to have such a blast!

--Yaya Writes :)

1 day :)

Today has been busy so far and I've only been up for 8 hours, and I know that it will only get busier as the day wears on. First off I spent all morning packing due the fact that I am returning home tomorrow and leaving for Buffalo where I will be flying out of tonight. In lewd of that cleaning and packing have been done, and I still can't find my Twilight DVD or my cream Hollister tube top. Oh well I guess I'll just have my dad send them to me when he finds them, if he does. This post is super early and that is mostly because I am leaving in an hour and a half for Buffalo where I will be spending the night. We would of gone up there tonight anyway because my flight leaves at 6:30 in the morning, but added incentive to going up so early is that we have tickets to a football game; the Buffalo Bills .v. Chicago Bears. The Bears being my favorite tea :) lol. So we are heading up early to get into full spirit of the event! haha. After spending hours at the game tonight I will be heading to some rinky dink hotel near the airport sleeping for only like 4 and a half hours and heading to the Buffalo airport at 5:30 so I can be home by 9ish. It'll be a long but fun day and I didn't think that I would have time to post later so I decided to do it now.

Mariah: Can't wait to see you; two days! :) I'll text you once I land so that it is known that I am home. lol.

--Yaya Writes

2 days :)

Today was a busy day. I had to get up really super duper early so that I could go to dinner with some friends as a final goodbye thing. And while that was fun I was exhausted so I came home and went back to sleep for a couple of hours. After taking my nap I got up and got ready to go to the Warren County Fair. The only downside was that it was sooo flipping hot today that I was miserable while we were there. After a couple of hours at the fair and feeling like I was going to die of heat exhaustion we went out to dinner, which I have to say was pretty good. When we got home again I came to my room and tried to finish my packing. I still can't find a few of my things but whatev I'm sure they will turn up. After spending an hour or so packing we had a campfire outside on our patio and my dad and I had a really in depth conversation about how hard the next few years of my life are going to be. It was really nice to just have a nice talk with my dad.

Well that was my day and in two days I'll be home. I'm going to finish watching the Degrassi Movie and then I'm going to go to sleep. TTYL ladies..

3 Days on the countdown

Today was a pretty fun day. I went swimming up in Sheffield with some family friends. It was fun to go up there one last time before I trek south again. I got to see the cutest boy ever while I was there too, so that was a plus. I really like the whole concept of swimming and laying out by the pool, but the one thing I don't like is that after I swim and my hair drys it gets all itchy from the chlorine.

Also tonight I went by the Dairy Queen that I worked at and turned in my shirts and got one of my last 3 paychecks, for 91 dollars. I was pretty darn happy! And while I didn't really enjoy the actual art of working, I'm really going to miss the people that I worked with because they were all pretty great and its going to be hard to not be around them and laugh at the little things and some of the customers that would come in. lol.

Now, after reading Mariah's blog yesterday I decided that I was going to try and do the same as her by drinking less soda and eating less chocolate. So today I have had ZERO soda's and only a chocolate cone dipped in chocolate. Which I guess is okay at least with the soda.

Now while I didn't do any packing today at all which means tomorrow is going to be a day of tearing my room apart looking for everything that I can't seem to find right now. That is after I go to breakfast with some of my best and only friends here in Warren. That's all for tonight. I'll talk to you all tomorrow. Can't wait for Monday!! :)

--Yaya Writes :)

4 Days and Counting

4 days from today I will be home from my summer vacation, and really I can't wait. I'm sooooooo excited to go home its not even funny. Its kinda scary that I started packing tonight. It was kinda nice to get it almost all done today, at least all my clothes are packed. I still have all this other crap to pack still but that won't get packed until the day I leave.

Now I have a list of things that I'm doing/planning on doing once I get home:

• Unpacking
• Visiting with the family
• Going to the youth worship service (maybe)
• Hanging with Mariah and Savannah on Monday
• Babysitting
• School Shopping
• Getting a pedicure
  

In the week after I get home it will be hectic but I really can't wait for the return to reality. :)

Thats all for tonight because I'm not feeling real well.

--Yaya Writes <3

Organized Chaos; didn't happen tonight

It was my last night of work so I was ultra chipper tonight! The only problem was that I don't think I stopped the entire night. Its the busiest night at Dairy Queen that I have ever worked! Not to mention that the manager that was on tonight was bitchin at everything everybody. The entire store was hopping all night with people in and out of drive thru and front counter. It didn't help that I had to try and train, but really she wasn't very good at picking up on any of the techniques that we have at Dairy Queen.

So as I sit here rewinding after a busy night I'm watching season one of One Tree Hill, which is probably my favorite of all the seasons. Well again with a short post but I feel like I have nothing left to say for the night, so I'm going to turn in. Hope everyone is having a FANTASTIC night!

--Yaya Writes :)

Days are more fun when you have a car to go in

Today was a pretty fun day actually. While, I'm still in pain and my shoulder hurts like no tomorrow, the pain has disappeared as I've had more fun. My day started pretty normally I got up about 9, ate some breakfast, and then went for a walk with my friend Alicia. After our walk, she had a tanning appointment. I decided that since I didn't have any other plans that I would go with her and then we were going to go to Wal-Mart so that I could pick up some needed things. After Wal-Mar I headed home for an hour and then met up with Alicia again and we started to get ready for the Warren County Fair Queen Pageant.

Once we got to the Fair we walked around for a bit in the rain and then found seats in the barn. As we sat with some of Alicia's cheerleading friends you could have cut the awkwardness with a knife. Alicia and I got up after a while and found some other people to hang out with and then sat with some of her friends from Youngsville. They seem to know how to have a good time, at least thats the front they put off while I was sitting with them.

Also ladies, I believe that a trip to the movies to see Post Grad is going to be a must!! It looks amazing. Well I'm going to bed because my shoulder is kind of hurting right now.

A quick post

While I know that yesterday I said that I was going to try harder to get longer posts, tonight isn't going to be one of those nights. That is mostly because the pain in my shoulder is intensifying. UGH. Today was pretty uneventful, I got up, went swimming at my Aunts, and then came home and didn't do anything. Going to bed, sorry this is so short ladies!

Fighting, Making up, and Parties

My morning started out really badly. My step mom planned a party that I spent the morning cleaning for but during this morning of cleaning I got into a really big fight with her. It was a long morning but we made up and are okay now but OMG, I said some rally harsh things that really hurt my dad's feelings. I also realize that I won't be able to come up for as long next summer due to all the senior stuff I'll have to do. After making up with my step mom we went out to get food and alcohol for the party she was throwing.

While I sit in bed because I'm exhausted I can hear the screaming of children that still haven't left my house. It wasn't as bad of a party as I thought it might of been. There was a ton of delicious food and tomorrow I'm going to have to work out for like 3 hours to burn it all off. haha.

I know lately my posts have been really short but it seems like by the time I get the time to write I'm soo tired that I can't put much effort into it. I'll try harder in the next week.

Shout outs: Mariah have fun at your grandparents this week. Mikaella: Have a fun and safe week at the beach. Savannah: Love ya girl, can't wait to see you and Mariah.

Family and cleaning

Due to the fact that I am leaving to come home for the beginning of the school year we are having a going away party. This party though is stressing my step mom out so badly that she is driving me crazy! She had me cleaning like crazy this afternoon and was just being all around annoying. When really I don't even want to have this party its just kinda a pain in my ass. Thats the end of my cleaning rant.

For a few hours tonight I spent it with my grandmother, who I hadn't seen in months. It was nice to see her, we went out to AppleBees' for dinner and then visited with some other family members. It would have been nice to see my cousin but he had to be a jerk and not be home so I didn't get to see him. But it's all good I'll forgive him later.

Well thats all for now because I may have to get up early and go swim. IDK though. Sleep is going to be a MUST! Just like a guy taller than me.

Long Days and Excuses

So, while I didn't blog yesterday I have a very good excuse and no one should be mad at me. I didn't get home from work until quarter till 12, and by that point I was to exhausted to do anything except fall asleep. So there's my excuse to why I didn't blog yesterday. BTW Mariah and Mikaella, I think we should all get one day where we don't have to blog. Like a free-bee day. Just an idea.

My past two days have been so long that I'm sooo tired that just writing this is being kinda of difficult. Yesterday wasn't to bad I just helped with bible school in the morning and babysat until I had to go to work at 7. Today on the otherhand was pure craziness. First, my dad woke me up saying that he had to leave for work and my brother still wasn't up so I needed to go and get him up so that we could go to bible school and while I really wanted to just say to him, "screw you, let me sleep." I got out of bed got him up and ready to go and then got myself ready in like 20 minutes. After bible school I spent 4 hours freezing outside at a golf tournament before heading to work so that I could work a 6 hour shift. My days have been long but for the next two I don't have long days coming my way. Thank the Lord.

Now I'm going to sleep. TTYL!

Who knew the boys at my church were so cute??

This week I have been volunteering at my church for Vacation Bible School with elementary aged students. Since I don't always attend this church because I'm not always in Warren, but anyway I never realized so many cute boys that attend my church. While I knew that there were some boys in the youth of this church but the realization never came to me that some of these boys were so good looking. What makes me feel better about myself is that in the last few days I've been sitting in the sanctuary before VBS starts and some of the boys will be doing something at the alter and have been looking at me. I don't know if there is something funny looking about me or something but it makes me feel better. Also it seems like they notice me more than the boys at home do but maybe thats because they are a bit more attractive than the ones at home and I don't see them as often so its like a shiny new toy.

Well this was short tonight but I have to get some sleep.

The Differences in Time

So tonight I was talking to my grandma that is in town for a couple of days about the differences between the time when she was in high school and now. Everything had to do with the advancements in technology.

1. Corded Phones vs. Cordless and Cell Phones -- As a child my grandma had a phone that was connected to the wall with a cord, was part of a party line (sharing the phone line with multiple houses), and had a phone where to dial it was a round turn dial.
   This then brought up how many businesses do meetings through conference calls and video chats.
   
2. Snail Mail vs. Email, IM, Text Message -- When my grandmother was younger the ways of communication were through a phone call or writing letters. In today's day in age, high school students spend about 75% of there time emailing, instant messaging and text messaging. Communication doesn't take 5 days for information to be passed, everything is done in a split.
3. Education then vs. Education now -- While my grandma was in school they had chalk boards in the classroom. She told me a story about how they would throw the erasers up to the ceiling to get the chalk out of them and to leave white marks on the ceiling. Today all classrooms have white boards that use dry erase markers. Also every classroom at school has a SmartBoard that helps use all the tools that the world can offer to make every person get the best education ever.

Thats all for today. Going to bed. Have to get up so that the routine for school is instilled into my brain. TTFN!

Family, Geocaching, and Ice Cream

So my day today was alright, not terribly eventful but still enough that some parts pissed me off others made me happy, and even others I'm not quite sure how I feel about it.

This morning, during an amazing dream I was having, I was awoken to get ready for church. It wasn't a big deal I was just overly tired for the rest of the morning. After church my step mom's side of the family came over and we had lunch. Now, normally these lunches are amazing, today's didn't live up to previous lunches. It's all good though because food is food in my book. My grandmother also came into town and I haven't seen her in a while so its nice to see her.

After this family lunch that we had at my house a bunch of us decided to go geocaching, and to start I'll admit I was excited I was driving and everything was all good. Then when I'm so confused and lost I go to follow my dad up a hill and he starts to come down so we are facing each other. So I start to back up and get out of his way and I fun over a hole that is covered by some slats of wood. So as my dad tires to help me out of the situation my step mom is yelling at him to just get me out of the car and fix it for me. Well neither of us wanted to do that, with all the yelling I just started to break down. Who knew driving was so stressful? But then again maybe its just my family.. I may never know. After my breakdown we go to find the geocache and I leave to go and get ready for work.

Ice cream is probably my least favorite substance to date right now. I think that's because I work at Dairy Queen, though. Blizzards are the most annoying thing to make too, especially when they end up in your hair. You can inquire if you want to know what happened but I don't feel like explaining.

Well I'm off to bed. Busy day tomorrow. By the way this post goes out to Mariah for the Second Post of August!

Happy August 1st.

So as I sit outside my house writing to all of my followers (I have 2 right now), I am watching the lush green grass that looks so nice due to all the rain that I have had to bear through with this summer. I can also feel the blazing sun beating down my neck and I'm thinking, this day is a beautiful way to start off the final month of summer. And while saying that probably makes me sound like a downer I don't care because with August beginning, it means many things for me. First of all it means that I will soon fly back to my mom, step-dad, little sister, and all of my friends. Secondly, it means that I will be able to get back to a normal routine. And Third, its means that I will be starting my Junior year of high school and a brand new school never to be used before, and for some odd reason that excites me to no end. I know, as a high school student it is horrible to say that I am excited for school to resume session but sadly it is true. I'm ready for summer to end and the next chapter of high school to begin.

I have spent these first two months of summer wallowing in the fact that I have very few friends at my dad's. Yes, I have the people I've grown up with, and the few neighbors that I have gotten to know in the time I am here every year. But, whats really sad is that while I have sat her, in my bedroom doing nothing waiting for my plans to come to me. People are out having fun and more than likely laughing that I'm the girl that sits at home every night with nothing to do because of the fact that I don't know anyone because I don't attend school in this tiny rinky-dink town. But with summer coming to a close I am learning that the time a spent by self helped me prepare for the fun that will be had when I get home and get to see all of my real friends for the first time in months. haha.

August has come. In the coming 15 days I have may plans. Helping with my church's Vacation Bible School, Golf Tournaments for the American Cancer Society, working, packing, a Bills v. Bears football game, and last but not least a flight at 6:30 in the morning to return back to reality. Once back into reality though I know these words about being ready to start school again are going to come back and bite me in the butt. I will be waiting for the next break we have off but lets just say for now that I can't wait to be back with the people who I really like to spend my time with.

Happy August 1st! :)
