sweet summer serenades
Hello livejournal. It's been a long time since I have vented to thee. But this isn't really a vent, it's more of an actual update. I, for once, have a job which isn't nearly as bad as I had imagined. The hours are short and it's a LOT less stressful than being a nanny was. It gives me so much time to read that I running out of books (depressing no?) and I need to find a new author to devour. Weekends of course are rather nuts, but the thought of occasional visits helps the lots, hots, people-filled day. And everyday that I'm off of work has shitty weather. How much does that suck?!?!
Italy was fantastic despite several issues which has been resolved to the best of my ability. And I may be going back soon. My mom's really pushing for me to take my winter semester abraoad. It would be awesome because I miss Ele and Paul and Lorenzo already but I don't know. Things were a little shaky when I left and I don't know how the situation is now. I mean, the things that happened were not my fault in any way, shape, or form, but I took the fall for those who couldn't. If you understand what I'm saying. Some people just have better manners than others and are more capable of smoothing out situations.
I hate not having a mixer (mine ied in June) but I L-O-V-E all the excuses I'm getting to bake. Peach lattice pies, blueberry cobbler, plum pudding cake, fruit tarts, chocolate chip/cranberry/blueberry scones, chocolate chip cookies, birthday cake, cupcakes, and more! My shoulders are goign to fall off soon and then what will I do? But breakfast club helps me make up for all the desserts. I can't say that I enjoy running and core exercises at 7 in the morning, and my muscles are not thanking me now, but band camp will be much easier. The impromptu swimathons I've been having with friends have helped too. They are much more relaxing though the company changes all the time.
My mom has decided that I'm finally 18. Which, according to her, means that I no longer have a curfew. But I do have more responsibilities. Like laundry and the dishes. Between that and work, I never have time to find anyone to hang out with. So I sleep. Or work on my newest painting which is still only on it's first background coat.
I really want to try to get more summer in before I have to leave (the 17th)!! So more swimming, tanning, bombpops and chipwiches, Camp Paley, North Island adventures, sailing expeditions, bonfires, marshmallows, hamburgers and hot dogs, watermelon, and sand castle contests. Let's go kids because these are the good old days!
