summer so far
so...i guess i'm technically a senior and that's pretty absurd. also, i got all As this past semester, which is pretty much the most exciting thing ever. well. not ever. that makes me seem kind of nerdy. but. still. hooray!
then i got home and had sporadic training at lifetime, and swore to get another job because that job seems like bad news. i've decided to stick it out, simply because having summer camp counseling on resumes definitely won't hurt me, but the whole company is just the dumbest thing ever. the program is a money making scheme, as are most things, but it just seems worse in this situation simply because the camp promises to be such a life-enriching program for kids, when in fact, i'm positive the people who created and designed it know nothing about children, teaching, or fun. i mean....gym games, two hours in a pool, and one hour of forced reading. sometimes climbing on the rock wall. not only do kids not like gym games, but they are void of any educational value. end tangent.
so i got another job (at la madeline), but i'm gonna go ahead and stick with both...i'm apparently going to work at camp only three or four times a week, and it doesn't even start until the second week of june. Sadly, la madeline pays significantly more and is the easiest thing i've ever done in my life, so it does make me wonder whether i should just quit lifetime. only i'm not a quitter.
irene's absence strikes me at random times, and it makes me pretty sad.
i'm super pumped about the Dance of Days record release show next weekend!
i am also very excited about going to new york next month on the thirteenth. not being busy until i got this second job (which was yesterday) has made me irritable and testy, particularly to my mom because we are so close. i HATE being like that around my mom. i love my mom. i don't love to be a jerk. also, not being busy has made me dwell on missing pete, and although i'll miss him whether i'm busy or not, i'm glad that i'm going to have to focus on other things since i'll be so busy soon. i miss pete now differently than i ever missed dave. i'm not ragging on dave, it's just different. i am very happy.
as far as summer goes, though, it seems i haven't seen enough of anyone. I saw rosendo before he left for barbados, I saw natalie only once before she leaves for Europe this saturday...i did see megcullip, but only once...loryn's insane, but i saw her...i really wanna see libby! and i miss catherine so so much and need to plan my weekend trip to go see her really soon because she is amazing. i have seen david a lot, but seeing him is generally (not always) somewhat upsetting, which i hope will stop over time.
so...here's to getting into the swing of summer and it getting badass, please.
oh yeah. and pete and i have this sweet roadtrip planned at the end of summer that i hope does not fall through because it is probably one of the most fun things i've ever planned, if only because i'm excited to be with pete in a car in random places that we have or haven't been to for a week<3.
