Hi friends.
Crazy summer, eh?
Exactly what I thought/feared happened this summer. The thing is, I can't decide if it's good or bad. At least it wasn't a downgrade for me....
So, roughly one week until I am back at school. That's so crazy. I definitely have mixed feelings about it. I know everything will be fine and great once I get there, it's just the process of getting there. I do have legit reason for the uncertainty about school, though, but I have reason to be excited too! I am whoa excited to be living in the house, especially with Joy. She is such a great girl, and it just makes me happy to think of her. I'm excited to be back to a "normal" life. I'm excited to spend time with people that I love, and miss terribly. Especially CLARE, since we've been playing the longest game of phone tag ALL SUMMER! Plus, I know that teh people I'm with won't let me be as pissy this school year, because well, they won't. Plus I'm taking a little sister! :) I'm excited for school to start because it's like a new beginning. I have some new things in my life, and I'm ready to get started with my plans. BUT... I am living in the house. With 9 other girls. Holy estrogen, Batman. I thought I had enough drama living by myself... My Schedule is going to kick my ass. On top of formal recruitment, having a little sister, Phi Mu exec AND Sisterhood development committee. I really wanted to find some other RSO or something on campus so that I can be distracted, but IDK if that'll be happening, b/c I AM getting at LEAST a 3.5 this semester. I have to. Things aren't going to be the same as they were when I left...at least the good parts. Rhonda is gone, and things are just different.
So, I've been at "camp" for 10 weeks this summer. Funny, b/c I originally signed on for 7.5, and was ready to go the SECOND I got here. Yes, that's right, here. I am actually back at Skyline right now...my boss went on vacation, for a long weekend, and Colleen is house sitting, and I am here to visit. It's been loads of fun, and I really, really love Colleen. She's like one of the few truly amazing people I know, and not just because I know her. But I got here yesterday, around 8, after leaving Lu Lay Lea at like 3. I was home for 2.5 days before that week and a half, from here. So yeah...10 weeks. I have no idea what is going on in the real world, I swear. Really, most of me doesn't really care. I even missed somethings that used to be so important to me! I missed all of the fair, and old fashioned days too. Sad. But, one thing goes to show that I am a Millington girl at heart (which, sometimes isn't too bad) because I went to the alumni football game...it's just something about football...
I baked Cinnamon rolls this morning.
Ok, so, one of the most influential people in my life thus far (yes all 20 years of it) has made a life altering decision. Scott is engaged. I'm happy for him, she's a lucky girl. But it puts the world in prospective. I had to check and make sure I was still 20, because that is such a big thing in someone's life. Wow, commitment. Engaged. I can't even decide on a major 100% and people are getting engaged. It kinda makes my stomach feel funny.
ok, I guess that's kinda all for right now... I'll leave you with some great song lyrics...
So Long, Sweet Summer - Dashboard Confessional
so long sweet summer
(so long sweet summer)
i stumbled upon you and gratefully basked in your rays
so long sweet slumber
(so long sweet slumber)
i fell into you, now you're gracefully falling away
hey thanks, thanks for that summer
it's cold where you're going
i hope that your hearts always warm
(hope that your hearts always warm)
