I am really excited!
I have a very fun weekend planned out, actually...the next two weekends planned out :)
First I'm going to the beach with the most fabulous group of friends, and then my cousine and I are going to celebrate our graduation together >..<
I am so at peace right now, all the stress of school is gooooneeee!!
And though I know that I should be excited for my freshman year of college in the fall, I'm not. It's work and stress which I don't really want right now.
But for right now, everything is perfect and excellant, just the way it should be.

Early Summer Update
I haven't posted in a while so here I go
my first post of summer 2011.
A lot has happened...I'll try to catch you up in a nut shell
On Valentine's Day I had the greatest surprise of finding out that I had won a prom dress!
I recieved the pink ball gown in April, got it fitted and in early June I went to my Senior Prom. My date was a sophmore friend, I dragged him along but I know he had fun dancing as much as I had.
I only had to take one final: Physics becasue I got A's in all four marking periods and on the midterms of my other subjects. It was heavenly.
I got a 97 on my research paper. A feminist approach to the book, Bread Givers.
I graduated from High School in late June. My last name starts with a "y" and since there were no "z" names I was the last one to graduate! It was so exciting and I got the biggest applause (because everyone was excitied for it to be over but since I loved it)
Today I just got back from a trip to British Columbia, Canada where my Grandma Nita lives with my baby cousin Tommy.
Happy Fourth of July to all and have a safe and healthy summer!

Buffalo Girls won't you come out tonight...
So lately I have been putting together a little bucket list, if you will of all sorts.
These are fun little things that I (can soooo do) would like to complete while I am still young and "full of life" as they say.
1.Go swing dancing. It just seems like soo much fun! Whenever I hear music with saxophones (like the song "Buffalo Gals") it just makes me want to get up and move. I don't like the club dance moves which my peers enjoy (like grinding). I have never really slowed danced with anyone either but hopefully my senior prom next week will change that and it will be fun.
2. Be envolved in a historical reenactment, especially around the civil war and revolutionary war era. I LOVE history and especially the clothes they wore, and I just thought it would be fun for one day (or weekend) where I can dress up like they did back then and churn butter the old fashioned way.
3. Run a muck race. I don't know if you have heard about these, but they are a 5K race with obstacles! Like climbing ropes, jumping over logs, swimming, and RUNNING THROUGH MUD! Sounds like fun doesn't it? It is soooo up my alley and I wish I could do one right now.!
4. Do a polar bear plundge. yeah...this one I am not sooo hyper about but it seems like one of those things you just gotta do.
5. Hike the Appalachian Trail, I once wanted to be a "thru hiker." A person who spends 6 months on the trail hiking the entire thing! Day in and day out, and the trail runs from Georgia to Maine...but now I just want to hike a piece of it, and I have with my cousins. BUT I would like to spent 2 weeks out on the trail or at least an overnight hike.
Do you have a bucket list? If so, what is on it?
Have a wonderful end of spring and don't forget to go outside!

Birthday
My birthday is coming up in less than a month and I know exactly how to celebrate it....with a chocolate movie night with my friends :) (Though I am lactose intolerant) I think it is a great way to just relax and laugh with my friends. One of my favorite movies is Chocolat, (one of the main actors is Johnny Depp) and I thought, won't it be fun to show my friends this movie and enjoy eating chocolate at the same time? I always get hungry for chocolate while watching the movie anyways...

Life Update
I would like to go to college to get away from all the stress my family brings.
But living on my own, had its own set of challenges and dilemmas.
If an article of clothes isn't washed, it will no longer be my mom's fault but my own. I may have to stay up late after studying just to purposly do laundry. When I want something to eat, I won't have a packed fridge and cabinets at my hands. It will be up to me to put on my shoes, and bundle up to walk across campus to the only school food store and or lunch room. It will be all up to me, and how I want to handle it. I partly feel that I will be successful at it though. Just having to worry about me and my work. I don't have a boyfriend so that also will make things easier. 50 schools days left til I graduate high school and then two months before I head off to college. I thought just yesterday I learned how to tie my shoes without the "bunny ears" didn't I just take the training wheels off my bike? But now I am driving a car. I can't imagine how my parents feel, they are the ones that taught me how to walk. They remember me way beyond my earliest memory.
I am ready for college. I am ready for the rest of my life.

Growing Up
What have I done?
I've just moved on
Past the arcs of memories
And into the sun.
The rays block my view
of what there is to come.
As I slowly move forward
what is done is done.
Time makes me forget
of the pain that I had.
And I eager look forward
squinting and reaching
for what there is in store.
Where are my bread crumbs?
Where have they gone?
They marked the path to memory
and what I've already done.
Did I move forward to fast?
Or did I miss the train,
As I was growing older
you grew more in pain.
But I must kept moving on
Standing still causes a fear
of being ambiguous and
you can only move forward into the sun.
Didn't you know that?
Or were the rules on clear.
The older you grow, the older
you appear.
It was not a trick, life
was not meant to cut you.
It's how you handle your fears
that life gave to you.
