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!!

Life-Blood of My Soul

I love music. It is everything good and happy and right with the world and at the same time can say even the saddest words with such elegance and grace. It can express my thoughts and emotions in way that I know I never could. It is the life-blood of my soul. It makes me happy. And it goes beyond anything I can explain in plain words...which is kinda the point. For me, country music (among a few other things) makes me feel like I am home, no matter what is going on in my life. It is simply fantastic, in fact two of my favorite quotes come from the movie August Rush. They are... "You know what music is? God's little reminder that there's something else besides us in this universe, a harmonic connection between all living beings, every where, even the stars."  AND  "I believe in music the way some people believe in fairy tales..." And if those two don't say it all then I don't know what will. They are simply perfect in my opinion, and are completel...

“People haven’t always been there for me, but music always has.”

Seems like there’s always someone who disapproves, they’ll judge it like they know about me and you. I was lucky like a four leaf clover.  All you need is love, love, Love is all you need.  Don't you draw the Queen of Diamonds, boy, she'll beat you if she's able, you know, the Queen of Hearts is always your best bet. Fathers be good to your daughters, daughters will love like you do. Girls become lovers, who turn into mothers, so mothers be good to your daughters, too. Freedom, well, that's just some people talking. Your prison is walking through this world all alone.   I said, “leave,” but all I really want is you. Back then I swore I was gonna marry him someday, b ut I realized some bigger dreams of mine. On my knees and out of luck,  I look up.   The words of the prophets are written on the subway walls.  Don't test the ones you love, it will only tear us down, if you want to feel alive then learn to love your ground. You call me up again...

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...
