18 days

i always forget to update this blog. so summer is over in 18 days. i'll be 21 in 18 days. i'll be a college student in 18 days. i might even feel like a real adult in 18 days.

i got my class schedule yesterday, so it's starting to hit me that i'll have to grow up and go to school every day and really apply myself. i'm excited to go school shopping and get supplies and things for my room.

i recently bought a 17" Macbook Pro with my student line of credit. i also bought a cute backpack for it. hope my books and lunch fits in with my behemoth of a laptop.

on august 27th, i'll be going to both campuses for orientation. i'm going to get my student card and bus pass probably. i'll also get my book list i'm assuming so i can finally get those. i hope they're not too expensive.

the new sims expansion, Apartment Life or whatever, comes out in a few weeks. i hope i get it for my birthday. i also need to get an XP disc so i can dual-boot and play the sims on my mac. i'm so excited for that. my old computer was crazy slow and it wasn't even fun to play most of the time.

you know what if fun to play? wiifit. my aunt lent hers to me and it's such a great game. it's tiring, though, but it makes you feel good. my friends were playing it for the last few days and they were beating my records, so now there's competition to destroy :D i unlocked Free Step today. i walked 1800ish steps in 20 minutes while watching Bikini or Bust on TLC. good times.

so it's almost the middle of august. this summer has been really great. my friends are fun and my camera is nice. imovie 08 is a nice program. i finally figured out how to resize pictures using iphoto, so hopefully this will inspire me to update this blog more often :)

here are three videos of my friends and i having fun, lol:

Officially Summer

hello summer. next time i'll bring a tripod, i swear.

Art in the Park

Laura, Dan, Marla and I went to Art in the Park on Sunday. Laura, Dan and I took the shuttle bus over and Marla met us later on. Everything was crazy expensive. I bought a Starry Night + Cow print from these neat Asian people. The guy was playing a DS the whole day. Walkerville school's tent was my favourite. It definitely made the heat and the walking around worth it. My mom said my art and photos were better than half of theirs, but I'm not going to hate on them. After Art in the Park, Laura went home for dinner, so Dan and Marla came to my house where we bbq'd hot dogs and I made mashed potatoes. It was nice. There was a crazy freak thunderstorm and I thought Laura was going to die on the way to my house. She did not. We played Singstar (lame) and then went to Marla's house and played Rockband (amazing!!). Marla had to drive her brother's girlfriend home, so Laura, Dan and I went to Little Caesars and got a pizza from Miranda. We came back to my house, ate, watched some mtv and then watched Wilbur Wants to Kill Himself. Laura and Dan went home at 2am. What a nice, busy day. I need to buy a PS3 and Rockband ASAP.

Prom

Amanda had her prom on June 6th. She went with Jake which was really nice. I took a million pictures. Here are two of my favourites.

Eight and Playground Hangouts

today was a really good day and hopefully the kickoff of a really great summer. it's sort of sad that the play wasn't a highlight, but i guess i wasn't expecting too much (although john did really well). ice cream is really expensive. i think if i put $5 aside for every two scoops of ice cream i eat, i would be rich in a month. playgrounds at night are underrated. my pants are dirty. i took a million pictures (though not as many as laura since she was basically doing stop-frame animations) and a bunch of videos that i'm excited to look at. good day, friends, good day.
