Summer Brain Dump in preperation for everything yet to come...

I never was good at being a consistent updater. It's not for a lack of content in life. Lord knows there are plenty of stories from Governor's School East that are blog worthy. It typically a matter of having time to do so. Blah blah excuses, on with the blog.

4 days of GSE 2009 left (or 5, it depends on how you count, never was a fan of numbers). And while it's been great to be in Raleigh and have a job and all of those things I must say can't wait to see this session come to a close. This summer has been considerablly less stressful than last year, and Lord knows the kids have been much better, but regardless there time here is up, and I want them gone.

I find myself screaming, in my head of course, "Get OFF our campus!!!!" It's not that they are necessarily doing anything wrong, but it's getting close to August, and it's selfish and rude, but I'm tired of sharing.
And while I'd love to blame it on arrogant, obnoixious teenagers (and really I can) I think real reason I dream to have the power to fold my arms, blink, and poof they would be gone, is really because I am so excited to start this year.
I'm excited about APARTMENTS!! I ordered my books online, and had them shipped to my apartment address. Amazing? You bet.
I'm excited about SENIOR YEAR. Also terrified. But I know it's going to be awesome. But terrifying.
I'm excited about DANCE. 2 dance classes this semester. Jazz 3, then tap. Oh yes!
I'm excited about LEARNING(?!) Wait. What? Oh yeah that's right I'm actually really excited about learning about the civil rights movement, acting 3 and writing my thesis...maybe not Geographical Info Systems, but who knows...maybe I'll like it.
I think that last one is actually because of GSE. I'm around nothing but education and teenagers for 6 weeks, yet, I'm not taking part of the education. And deep down the nerd in me is jealous of them. Oh good lord, did I just admit that I was jealous of GSE students?? Time to move on indeed.

I was thinking about it today. It's so weird all spring all I wanted was summer. Thoughts of sunshine, warmth, shorts, lemonade, bodies of water was all that seemed to dominate my thoughts...which lead to a great deal of procrastination...
But today all it was a cool breeze (that will be gone by the end of the week I'm sure) to make me long for fall and all that it means.
It means, back to the Meredith that I know and love. It means sizzlin' september, books, school supplies(!!!!!!!!- I love staples. Also, I am a nerd), cute jackets, closed toed shoes, less humidity- which means I can straighten my hair more, education, crisp carolina blue skies that make me love this state, CORNHUSKIN'!!!!, birthdays, adventures. Life.

It will be a little bittersweet for 2 reasons. One: Mac had to move back down to Moore County, so I'm really having to adjust to him not being here. I won't lie I had gotten really used to it, and really comfortable with him here. But we've had the distance before, and I know we'll be fine, it's just a matter of adjusting, and missing him again. But it'll be okay, I know that.
Two. Senior Year. Senior Year. Senior Year. Someone today tried to tell me that it goes by so fast, and as they started to tell me, they stopped, and were like "never mind, I'm sure you already know." And I do. I know it's going to fly, but all I can do it enjoy it, and because of the people in my life, I know I will. Senior year.

That was all sappier than I intended oh well it needed to be said. Bring it on.
Now I'm going to go walk around Meredith, wishing these teenagers away. Part of my walk will be spent timing how long it takes to get from my apartment to my classes. :]
I'll let you know how that goes.

ps. want a new awesome song on your ipod/iphone- Fight like a girl, by bomshel. You won't regret it.
