Turn 52: and so summer vacation ends
Got my first class today. As much as I don't really like taking Saturday classes, it's an animal wildlife art class and the ONLY time it's offered is on saturdays. ^^; At least I already know the teacher, so it should be enjoyable, I also hear we will be having many fieldtrips. FUN =D
Summer sure didn't turn out the way I had thought it would in May. I didn't end up traveling all over the place to look at galleries, I worked in the daycare, even looked after it when mom had to go to mexico for a week TWICE and I didn't quite get to spend as much time on my art as I had hoped to, but even so, I did end up growing up in various ways =)
When mom was gone for those weeks, I took on more responsibility than I ever had before, now understand my mom better after being in her shoes and feel, if only a little, more capable of dealing with large tasks now. I even got a small experience of what it was like to "earn" my own money ((well, it came from mom, so it's not the same as a real job, but it's a start? ^^;)) and be able to save or spend it.
I got the experience of telling my feelings to someone special to me for the first time and all the awkwardness that came with it in the beginning XD I feel very lucky that I wasn't rejected my first time, and although we didn't have as much time together as we would've liked (mostly my fault ^^;;;) we did make some fun memories and shared a lot of new things before he had to go back to Chico last week for school. I'm not quite sure what a "normal" relationship is supposed to be like, Alex says we're probably not normal, but that's okay because we're probably not "normal" people to begin with XD. Haha.. I love how he said that. I'm certainly fine with that, and he still called me just about everyday since he left so I'm sure everything'll be fine even though we can't see each other for a while. I even think I've become a little more.... girly. XD LOL.
I got to make my first hour-or-so-long drive to Comic-Con =D Damn, it was kinda tiring, but with Alex was there to talk to me the whole time, so it wasn't as bad as I feared. Comic-con itself was AMAZING. Sadly, we only went 1 day and missed the panels we had wanted to see, but I still loved the exhibition hall and I got to play on Duel Terminals XD. YAY~~~
Those were some of the bigger things that I recall, but I know there were various smaller things too that my mom and sister had commented on so, all in all, this summer was still one to remember. =) I actually do feel like a different person from the one I was in May. Oh, I'm still a dork and a git (probably will be forever XD) but I think I feel just a little more confident and mature. I'm making more decisions for myself and am getting more freedom from my parents and dealing with more responsibility.
Now that School's starting, I'm looking forward to a lot more new experiences to grow from as well. -^__^-
