So this is what the outdoors looks like...
I woke up before noon today and no one was home so you know what I did? I did homework. Only three more chapters to go, and I've got a good feeling I'm doing it all tomorrow.
I ran today too. After my third hour of homework I decided I needed to get up off my butt and do something. I didn't run outside though, the last time I did that I got chased by a dog so I'm sort of...afraid to. But I popped in my West Wing DVDs and watched my favorite episode while I sprinted on the treadmill. God love technology. It felt good just to be out of breath and sweaty. And the strange thing is, I wanted to run my butt off.
We went to Peter's b-day. It was alright. Lots of guys but no trees. His friends are crazy anyways. It reminded me of New Year's Eve at their house, since it's cold (how about this weather in August huh?). And I got laughed at when my mom said I was interested in politics. Whatever...he can bring me corn dogs when I'm passing his laws.
So three more days left. Summer is ending and it just makes me sad. I do want school to start but it's the simple fact that once I go there's no turning back. I'll be in for the first week and before I know it it's Christmas and it's going to be all rainy and gloomy, and then the end of the year will be here but go by just slowly enough to torture us. I was walking around in some sort of funk/haze because of it. I want to go camping again and sleep out under the stars. I want to go back to Ashley's and bake cookies and talk to a phone for an hour. I want to listen to Robby's band play and piss off the neighbors. Or squish three people onto one couch for a sleepover. I want to go back to Missouri and stay up until 1:00 watching Sesame Street and playing Hide and Go Seek in the hotel when we shouldn't be, being with 12 of my best friends. I'm so lucky it's sick.
I guess I don't want reality. But that's what I've got.
