Day 207: 3 more days

Why yes I have started a very brief, and short countdown to my birthday. I can't help it. This is the first time in a while that I have actually been excited for my birthday. I think it might be because people are actually excited for my birthday. Not because of my actual birthday but maybe because my friends are excited to have an excuse to get ridiculously drunk. Either way that have pumped me up and now I'm ridiculously excited for my birthday!

I've all of a sudden got ridiculously tired too. Must be from practicing my speech. "This idea is a graphic demonstration of the neglect these children face at home by the general public" or "Has developed a reputation for providing high quality education and training programs focusing on the neurobiology of trauma and related issues." are probably the hardest things that I have to remember. Good though right? Oh yeah, I'm great at speeches...until I have to give them.

Ergh. Okay I have to finish memorizing the rest of my speech.

P.s. 2 more days of school

3 more until my BIRTHDAY! EEEK.

Day 206: Almost done

I only have until thursday and then i'm done with summer school and then the next day it's my birthday!!! I'll finally be 21! This is crazy. So freaking crazy. I can't believe how old I am now.

I have to finish my speech. I just wanted to write this real quick before I forgot.

Oh yeah, happy memorial day! Thanks to all those wonderful people who have fought for this country!

Day 205: I finally...

Cleaned my room! It was so filthy before and today I actually had time to work on it. I feel so much better now. SO MUCH.

Now I'm officially pooped. Time to lounge around and read? I think yes.

Day 204: Productiveness

I don't know why I'm so eager for this weekend to be over with, but I can't stop myself from looking at the time waiting for be bed time, to wake up, go to work, work on homework and then go to bed and wake up bright and early Monday morning. I don't know if it's because I got in the habit of being busy over the last 2 weeks from summer school or what, but I really enjoyed waking up early and being productive. This weekend I could be lazy, and I was so desperately wanting and needing it, but now I want to get back to my productive self.

Also, now that summer school is ending, and I'll have more free time and I got my tie dye, I am able to go to the gym without worrying that it will get in the way from homework and work or worrying that if I go at this time then I might now get enough sleep and I might get sick and mess up summer school. I'll be worry free. I'm actually trying to get my mom to do this diet thing with me, because my friend said that she lost about 20 lbs on it and she really doesn't even look like she needs to lose weight. Plus for someone of her size, she would be at that plateau problem and that diet actually gave her the push she needed to get to her goal weight, so why not try it? Although my mom said it was unhealthy or something, but honestly... I dont really eat the greatest things now, so what does it matter?

Day 203: TIE DYE!

Last night, Bekah and I did some good 'ol tie dye. We were so worried the whole night that we were messing up. It was rather funny, because in the end they look awesome! I haven't seen hers yet, but I can only imagine that they look great. It was really fun. I've never done that before, so it makes me feel really good that they look so good. I only want to put them all on right now and wear them out and about. Call me tie dye crazy!

Yesterday was just a good day all together. I spent some time out in the sun, read a good book and I got to spend some time with Jose and that was nice. We played Grand Theft auto and it was hilarious. At one point in the game, it took me like 20 minutes to drive to a mission and as soon as I get there I slam my car into a wall and explode. Jose and I just busted up laughing. We were both thinking "SO CLOSE, and then boom! I crash and burn."

Then of course hung out with Bekah and did our tie dye. After she left I was pooped. Lack of sleep through out the week was just too exhausting for me so I ended up sleeping until noon. It was great. I definitely needed it.

Today is going to be another lazy day, well I'll probably help ross clean up the house a bit, but other than that I got nothing going on and I'm totally okay with that.

Day 202: Tie Dye!

Guess what I'm going to do today?! TIE DYE! I'm so freaking exciting, I have to go get the supplies today! Then later Bekah will come over after she gets off work and we will make them! I hope I can stay up and do it because I'm beat. Not going to bed until 12 or 1 and waking up at 6 or 7 is taking a toll on me.

I've never tie dyed before, so i'm a little nervous I'm going to mess up. I'm planning on dying about 5 shirts. Bekah and I thought that if we tie dyed some shirts then we could pump ourselves up for the gym. We thought, having matching shirts would make us go together and get in the habit again of going to the gym. God knows I need to start working out. These past weeks have been so hectic and busy that I just put it off. So, I'm hoping these shirts will pump us up and motivate us or at least me to start working out again. Silly, I know, but it might work. Maybe.

Any who, before my tie dying festivities, i'm going to lounge around outside and read my book. Oh yeah! Finally feeling like summer.

Day 201: Too close for comfort.

Yesterday North Texas was in a serious watch for tornados. One hit about 5 miles away from where I live. How terrifying is that? I've always been afraid of them, ever since I was little and I grew up in Oregon, where tornados are basically unheard of. I can't even imagine how the people of Joplin felt. I wish all of them well.

On to happier issues, I only have a week left of summer school, AND I got a 97 on my speech. How exciting is that?

Today was a BEAUTIFUL day, so I took full advantage of it and laid out and read a bit. I'm trying to enjoy summer as much as I possibly can before I have to focus all my attention on French in July. So I plan on tanning, and lounging around reading every day. Unless the weather is scary like yesterday, then I'll just take shelter inside.

Tomorrow I think a friend and me are going to get some tie dye supplies and possible tie dye some shirts. I've never done it before, so i'm pretty excited about it.

I also feel like taking a nap, but alas, I have to get ready for work. BOO. Please God, Don't let me work with that one conceited boy again. Give me precious 'high school boyfriend.' He's a sweetie.

I'm done rambling for the day.
