Summer

Summer is calling! I can finally hear it, and its voice sounds oh so good. I just can't wait for those two and a half weeks of freedom....and then....

GSP!!! Gosh I am sooo excited about this! I can't wait to find out what college I am going to. Once there, it's going to be so fun living the life of a college student, only a lot more fun. All of the websites and information from their sponsors makes it seem like it will be a blast, and all of the seniors last year said that it was one of the most fun experiences of their lives. I only hope that I have nearly as much fun as they seemed to have had, and I'm pretty sure I will, haha.

After GSP, I'll have about ten days to rest before school starts back up again, and believe me, I'm going to need all of it after the energy I will have exhausted the previous five weeks. But why am I thinking about schoooooool, I have two weeks left!

Signing off on the last blog is going to be so emotional! Haha.

New Things

Getting new things is always fun. Getting new things that you have desired and waited for for a long time is even more fun. On this regard, my family has just gotten a new internet service that allows us to do many more things at home than our old, slow, satellite internet of before. We had the satellite internet for about two years, and for the first two months, we thought, wow, this is really fast compared to dial-up. But then, as we realized how quickly other technological things were advancing around us, we realized that satellite just wasn't going to cut it.

The new internet is freakin' amazing. It's so fast and gets us wherever we need to go on the web in a quick and efficient manner. Also, I can finally get on Xbox Live at my mom's. =) The weird thing is, we had originally signed up for an internet even faster than what we got, but once the men came out to install the equipment, we found out that we couldn't receive the highest tier where we lived because all of the trees obstructed the best results, so we ended up getting the middle-grade. Luckily, it still rocks!

End of the Year

Back to school...yay, I get to see everyone again....oh wait, school sucks otherwise. Can't wait until fall break....we still have another half of a year!....prom is still four months away.....and now there is only one week left of school. The journey was rough and tiresome, but junior year, looking in reflection, was a shorter ride than it seemed. I mean, honestly, it seems like I was going to Sadie Hawkins two weeks ago.

I wouldn't really care all that much about this fact excepthat I have only one more year of high school left before becoming an adult. These first twelve years of school really have gone by faster than I ever would have imagined as a yearning third grader. If I had the chance, I would do some things differently, would remember different things, but I wouldn't change the overall outcome for anything. My life thus far has been a blessing and a treasure to live, and I wouldn't have it any other way.

The vagueness of this blog is getting to me...but I don't know what to reflect on...It's been a fun and learning experience the whole way (I guess is what I am trying to say).
