Hello again!
hey there! yes, I haven't updated for awhile. Meaning that I haven't touched my computer for a good month or more. Earlier in my life, there was a time when if someone told me that sometime in the future, my computer would be just fine, in complete working order, my desk a tad cluttered to say the least, but that I was capable of using the machine, and for a month plus, I wouldn't even touch it. Not to check email, send, email, message anyone, download music, buy things, or even play on livejournal. I would told you "yeah, I'm sure that would happen....when the house is clean...." But yeah. I've finally realized that I've thrown myself into IB rehabilitation. However, I have done it without realizing it. I've found myself sleeping in just a little bit, not like noon, more like....7 or 8. Also, I've found myself reading...a lot. but FUN BOOKS!!! ahhhhh, fuck you hemmingway, woolf, conrad, and above all sheakspere. kiss my ass, Im reading something that doesn't make me want to rip my eyes out. and it's glorious.
I'm guarding...again. How typical for me. But instead of crazy del paso heights, I'm working at the Northeastern YMCA. No more kids trying to kill me. I actually get days off, the people there are actually ENORMOUSLY nice. The desk receptionist Kathy pops in to see how I'm doing and sometimes brings me food. The place is a tad laid back, and has a family/community atmosphere. I like it quite a bit.
In addittion to guarding I'm teaching 5 swimming lessons classes. From ittle tykes to swim team kids. I enjoy doing that a lot too. It's a lot of fun and makes the time go by faster, but by far, the most amazing thing about it is watching a child that at the beginning is so scared of the water that if you even try to convince him to put his feet in he screams like your coming at him with a hack saw, then towards the end hell jump off the side into your arms with the biggest smile on his face. Ahhhh, fills my heart with joy.
Another plus, I haven't had a major skin peeling sunburn yet, I've only tanned YAYYYYYY!!!!!
I also got in a car accident. Really really gross. All of a sudden not being in control is really scary. It was just a major fender-bender. No one was hurt. At first the other lady was yelling at me for smashing up her siler audi convertible, and then I started crying up a storm. If god didn't promise that he wouldn't kill everyone all at once, I could have created a noah's flood right there. Then all of a sudden she stopped yelling and was like "poor baby....no one's hurt, that's what's important, accidents happen." and then called her husband so he could drive me and my beat up car to work. I found it amazing that crying can sometimes actually work in the "real world". I got to work and my boss was like "where've you been, you're a half and hour late?!" and he saw my face all red and filled with tears, and was like "accidents happen, Im just glad you're ok." and he let me have the day off to calm down. Then andrew picked me up and took me out for ice cream, and then I was fine. It's amazing how much a little care from everyone around you and a bit of chocolate ice cream can make everything better.
Graduation seems like it was such a long time ago. At the time it didn't seem like a big deal, I just thought "pfft, this isn't a big deal, I knew I was going to graduate, and fufilling graduation requirements wasn't hard at all" Getting my driver's license was a bigger deal. I didn't feel like I was stepping into the real world, I didn't feel like my life was changing. All I felt was that absurd hat elastic around my head and it driving me insane. But as summer progresses, I feel like my life has changed. Mostly in that I haven't seen any of my mira loma friends since graduation. As much as I hate to say it, I feel like my life is changing because I'm going to drift away from the friends I have now that I care about so much and eventually create new ones. It's sad, but I can feel it happening.
