Excited

Soooo, when I saw this trailer...I may or may not have squealed like a little girl. Embarrassing! But, I can't help it, I grew up reading these books. I think I've read them all at least 5 times, if not more. These last two movies look so good! Can't wait.

Today

Today I learned that only eating cereal, pizza, a waffle covered in Belgium chocolate, and a root beer popsicle is a good recipe for a bit of a stomach ache.

Inhaling mass amounts of illegal substances doesn't help either.

But going to a FREE Modest Mouse concert with your friends on a beautiful summer night in the city pretty much makes you forget about the stomach ache and lightheaded-ness.

Why can't summer last forever?

Lately

So I'm not sure where the summer has gone...but I'm already leaving for my trip in less than 3 weeks! Ahhh I can't believe it. Life has been so busy lately I haven't had a lot of extra time to write. When I'm not working, one of my best friend's Sarah and I are checking things off our "Summer Bucket List". It's the best. We made a list of all the things we wanted to do this summer and it's been great. Last week alone we went to Eclipse at midnight, went to a rodeo, went on a date, went out to eat, went hiking, layed out by the pool, and watched Breakfast at Tiffany's and Dear John. Have I mentioned that

I love summer ?

I've been going home a lot lately and have had a lot of time to think in the car. It's funny what kinds of things come to you when you're driving. There's been some things in my life the past few weeks that have been driving me crazy because I really have no control over them. I want to be able to fix the situations but really, the only thing I can do is wait and see how it all plays out. I've realized that I might just be the most impatient person, ever. And I don't know how to fix it. How do you become more patient? How do you just relax and wait? I mean, when there really isn't anything you do, I guess you have to be patient no matter what...but it's the relaxing part that's hard. Anyway, if there's anything I've learned in the almost 22 years of my life, it's to expect the unexpected. To know that life can change so fast. To plan for the worst, but hope for the best. It will be interesting to see what happens!
