I'm in a mood to be nice to everyone lately. I think it's the sun.
and I have this idea of what summer will be like.....I hope summer lives up to my actual idea. aside from trying to graduate from my home by running the house for a month (except we're breaking it up into chunks over several months...go figure), I'm not doing as much as I thought I was. and I realized that when I sleep till 10 and stay up till 2, I function so much better than when I have to get up at 6:30 and go to bed at 10:30. stupid teenage body clock.
all that to say, I'll have more actual functional time in the summer. and won't be so braindead. yay.
getting ready to go to India isn't going to take up as much time as I thought it would. which makes me really happy. I'll still be teaching, and taking some lessons of my own, but piano....well that's fun stuff.
and I'm not going a lot of places before August. just Camp Hope and a trip to the condo. which will hopefully be just relaxing, reading, swimming, eating, walking around, and trying to tan instead of burn.
so maybe I'll fit in that trip to Portland next month. I should probably look at the calendar for that.
what I want most, is just to hang out with people. this is one of my last summers before I leave home. I want to spend it at home, with my family and with my friends.
*sigh* pffft. I'm so ready for school to be done. I'm at the pointless stage. everything from now on in photography is just learning photoshop stuff. and I don't have photoshop so it's not like I'll be using this in the future. French is just.....well it's my crazy French teacher at 8 AM every day. and I swear we move slower than molasses in that class. I'm ready to take the final and be done. I skipped yesterday just to sleep in and I didn't miss a thing. five minutes and two pages in my book, and I was all caught up.
and the weather is just way too nice to be stuck in a classroom. I want to enjoy May before the inevitable June showers come. I realize why seniors just want to drop out come spring. I'm not learning anything these last two weeks of school, all my friends are finishing up, and I'm ready to be done.
alright, I will stop complaining.
I'm gonna do my Hindi so I can hopefully bake some muffins before our walk. hope you're all enjoying the sunshine (even you Jacob)!

ReplyDelete*soaks in the sun*
ReplyDeleteI know, it's amazing.
so, why are you leaving home? Is this the trip to Europe thing?
Good, since you don't have anything going on, you should come work at Junior Camp with me. I'm trying to recruit a few more teens. : D
*laughs* Jacob, enjoy the sun?
ReplyDeleteWow I didn't realize you were a senior, Kacy! That's cool. I haven't kept up on here nearly as much as I should...where are you going after you leave home?
I'm not a senior, I'm a junior...
ReplyDeletedid I say I was a senior somewhere? bah...I'm losing my brain and everything is coming out wrong.
yeah, I'm basically taking a gap year after I graduate (next year), and going to Europe for 11 months. so I'll be working like crazy to save up for that. :P
yes it SOUNDS like a perfect summer. I doubt it will completely turn out the way it sounds, but I'm hoping it will be close.
I'm thinking that Junior Camp week is the week I'm going to Portland. everybody seems to want me to do something that week...
bah. humbug.
no fair!! 11 months in europe!!!!
ReplyDeleteyeah....it's going to be so amazing but so incredibly hard. the more I research it the more I don't want to know how much it will cost. it may end up more like six or seven months, lol.
ReplyDeleteespecially if the stupid dollar keeps getting weaker. exchange rates are going to kill me....
haha oh nevermind. I missunderstood... lol I got all spacey and forgot that this being your last summer before you leave home meant you'd graduate next year XD I'm slow when I'm tired.
ReplyDeleteThat sounds like an AMAZING trip though! I want to do a cool vacation thing the summer after I graduate too, only mine is smaller scale...I was thinking like it'd be cool to take a trip to a beach in Oregon or California with some friends.
I hope that summer is all you dreamed it would be and more. :-) We'll have to hang out a lot.
ReplyDeletedefinitely. I really want to hang out with everyone this summer. 'specially you Em because it seems like we never get together.
ReplyDeleteactually, that goes for most people on this blog. *sadface*
:-/
it's crazy though, everyone wants to do something the week after finals. right away. like we don't have the rest of summer to do stuff.....lol.
that's really cool Sarah. I really think that people should take a year off if they don't know what they want to do yet. even if they don't go anywhere, it's a good idea to take a little time off and think about things. our culture is too college-pushy.
before the Europe thing came up I was thinking about spending some time in Portland the summer after I graduate.
Portland is amazing, btw. :P
well, some of us don't have all summer like other people. I for one, will be having summer classes and I'll be getting a job. the week immeadiatly after finals is "free week" so-to-speak. it really is, the ONLY time to do stuff, besides random available weekends.
ReplyDeleteyou know whats weird? everytime i type "job", i see Job, the man from the bible, rather then work. lol.
lol, yeah I am constantly messing that word up when I type it and making it a capital and then I look and realize that "Oh, that would make it like the Bible one...oops" . My question is what the heck is up with the pronunciation?? Its just weird that two words should be spelled the same but said different =P
ReplyDeleteAnd yeah, I'm with you on that one Kacy-- our culture anymore pushes college soooo much. It's crazy. I think thats a good idea just to take a year and think about what you really wanna do before laying out the cash to get an education when you really duno what the heck you're doing or if you'll use it. I think I wanna either go into photography, be a freelance artist (although it would be hard to get into that line of work), or maybe go into advertising. I love creating ads.
ReplyDeletewhoah, that's really funny, I never really equated the "Job" and "job" thing . . . funny how much we can miss sometimes.
ReplyDeletewhat's up with the pronunciation is that Job is Hebrew or something like that...so if you saw it in the original language you'd know how to say it. but English is studpid and there's twenty ways to say one word so that's why it's so confusing.
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry Jacob...it sucks to not really have a summer. it seems like every time I look at my calendar mine is disappearing just a little bit more. so my solution is not to look anymore....
I'd say go with what you love Sarah. if you're good at it and think you could scrape a living out of it, then go for it. I'd rather be totally broke and happy than rich with a job that's "just ok." I don't think there's anything that bugs me more than people who go after a job because of money.
ok, I'll stop ranting now. :) blah...drat that French homework. new tenses are hard to get the hang of.
Ahh yes right. That is true I guess that's true about the Hebrew thing. English is weird. =P oh well I don't feel like trying to make myself learn another language and then force my friends and family to speak it so that we don't have to complain about the weirdness of our current one XD
ReplyDeleteUh huh! My thoughts too. Although I'd rather not be broke. lol not again. I just got un-broke yesterday finally. haha. But I definitely hope to get a job that I will enjoy doing. I get all sorts of photography assignments, but none of them pay =P oh well. gotta start somewhere! Right now I'm on one for the library to take a buncha random close ups of stuff and people have to guess what it's of (its a game for the summer reading program)
