A Bummer Week and A Not-So-Bummer-Summer!!

First, let me just say, I had a HORRIBLE week. Like one of the worst/longest weeks of MY LIFE! Okay so maybe not of my life, but of the semester FOR SURE!! Without going into too much of the oh so lovely details, I had tests and quizzes and service hours and lessons to teach, and academically my plans sort of crumbled a little bit and so I had to spend time trying to put it back together and figure out what I am going to do. STRESS STRESS STRESS for sure!!! AND THEN! On top of all of that I had a friend not treat me the nicest. Yeah I know that makes me sound like I am five, but the thing is I was trying really hard to do what I felt was best even if it wasn't necessarily what I wanted and I am human and when someone isn't the nicest it can hurt, especially when it is someone you care about. ANYWAYS, I literally felt like I was running non-stop all week long! But now it is over and after class today I just laid in my bed and did nothing but relax! (I took a nap, it was fantastic haha!)
Second! So I kinda love lists! I make them for everything! I love the feeling of accomplishment when I can cross something off haha! And the last few days, admits all the craziness (or rather because of all the craziness) I have had an itching for summer. My best friend and I have been casually throwing around ideas for a summer bucket list...and my roommate for next year and I have been creating a bucket list for next year and I just LOVE BUCKET LISTS!! So tonight I got serious. I started writing a Summer 2012 Bucket List and I am so freaking PUMPED! Things like camp in the backyard, go to the zoo, make a bouquet of wild flowers, fly kites, build a sand castle, dance in the rain, go rollerblading, leave a nice note on a stranger's car, learn to do a handstand, catch fireflies, rope swing into water, learn a song on the piano, write and mail a letter to an athlete, an author, and a role model, and many many more things! The reality of the matter is that most of these probably wont happen because I am going to be working SOOOO MUCH this summer I don't know when I will have the time, but I also feel like when I do find myself with a moment or two of free time, I will be more likely to accomplish something if I have a list to turn too! I cant wait! I want to get my whole family involved and take tons of pictures and just create memories to last me a lifetime. "500 Days of Summer"....I haven't even seen this movie and yes I know it is about a girl not necessarily the season summer, but still this title keeps popping into my head while I am thinking about this. Ha the other thing that keeps popping into my head is the theme song for Phineas and Ferb! I have only seen this show a few times but part of the song keeps coming back. It says..."There's 104 days of summer vacation, and school comes along just to end it. So the annual problem for our generation is finding a good way to spend it...." (such a catchy tune!) This is what I want!! To find a great way to spend the summer and enjoy my last summer "as a teen!" haha that is way weird to say/write/think about but sadly it is the reality! And I am so excited to keep adding to the list and see how many things I can accomplish this summer! 36 DAYS TILL I MOVE BACK TO TEXAS!!

I Know I Have Dreams

It's been a while since I have written anything on here. And I know it's been a while. I know that the last few weeks have been crazy, and that that is part of it. But I also know that I have sat down to write here more times than I would care to admit. I know that I have a million thoughts running around in my head. I know that I want to figure out how to let the words out and have them make sense. I know I have all these ideas about what I want to do with my life, what I want to accomplish, and who I want to become, and yet I lack the knowledge of how to get there. I know I have dreams. I know I want to be somebody that people can look up too someday. I know what I love. I know I have to make choices. I know that I ramble. A lot. I know a lot of things. Maybe I will talk about everything. Maybe I will save a post or two for another day. I know that this post is going to be long.  I know that this post may be very varied when it comes to topics. I know that n...

How True This Is

I Resolve To Continue

This is the time of year when we evaluate our lives. We look at the last 364 days and ponder on our struggles and our triumphs. We look at the person we have become over the last 12 months and we plan to do better in the coming 12. This is the time of year we are dedicated to making a change, and as I sit here thinking back to this time exactly 365 days ago, I am astounded at how far I have come. Almost ashamed of the person I was then and truly proud of the person I am now. For one of the first times in my life I can say that I can see myself becoming the person I want to become. In the last year I have felt sorrow and defeat and loneliness. I have faced struggles and heartache and frustrations. But I have also felt peace. I have felt joy and happiness and love. I set goals and I achieved them. I have had experiences that have taught me so many valuable lessons, and I have met people who have changed me forever. And I am so grateful. And so as we finish out this awfully beautiful year...
