21 days.
I can't believe it...... For years I've stressed over where I'd go to college and now I know where I'm going and I leave in just 3 weeks..... I have so much to finish and accomplish before the end of summer....
Why do friends change? Why does summer change? Some friends I thought I'd never see this summer I've seen a ton while others I used to see everyday I've seen once of twice. I don't understand that.... I feel like I'm fighting a losing battle by trying to be friends still because college is just around the corner; if I can't be friends with them now over summer, how in the world will I manage to keep in touch during college?
I'm at Disney right now so I'm going to go swim--- or something.
So long, folks.

Off to Neverland! :)
Ah. Disney..... My 3rd home. :)
Tomorrow I shall be returning there and I'm excited. :)
I have 5 books and my ipod to keep me entertained on the way there and while lounging by the pool.
I don't feel like writing a complete post right now so I'm going to go
Goodbye for a little while! I'll tell Mickey you all said hello. :)

"For youth and the dawn of life are vanity"
Lately I've been reading through Ecclesiastes. Honestly, this is the first time I've read all the way through it and I'm loving it....
Today I went back to Ecclesiastes 2:18-26 where it talks about The Vanity of Toil. Ha. This is a big problem for me. I'm always striving to do stuff on my own and not giving it to God. Pretty much this section of scripture was just talking about how all of our toil is vain and useless; instead we should find joy IN the toil instead of working to benefit from it.
Also, one other verse I went back to today:
"Rejoice, O young man, in your youth, and let your heart cheer you in the days of your youth. Walk in the ways of your heart and the sights of your eyes. But know that for all these things God will bring you into judgement. Remove vexation from your heart, and put away pain from your body, for you and the dawn or life are vanity."
~Ecclesiastes 11:9-10
I like he he worded it.... sort of "go-ahead-and-do-it-but-you're-gonna-pay-for-it-later". haha
Anyway, that's all for now. I'm in a blogging mood so probably more soon. :)
Have a wonderful day everyone!

"Dignity, always dignity"
Today was a movie day. Here's the line up:
Best movie ever:
Singin' In the Rain
Another movie I watched tonight for the first time and actually really enjoyed:
(500) Days of Summer
If you haven't seen them before, check 'em out. If you have, watch them again. It's worth it.

God is good, all the time
Two blog posts in two days? Be amazed.
Well, today did not go as I intended. Then again, how often does it? God always has His own ideas for my days---- maybe one day I'll learn and grasp that concept.
So, today was extremely stressful.... however, now that it's coming to a close, I can't say it was bad..... I actually conclude that it was good.
Here's the load down:
1. First car wreck. Fender bender, but enough to scare me. I thank God that it was an older man who understood. Thankfully he recognized how scared I was and knew that it was both of our error. He didn't ask my name or mention police or anything.
2. Chatt State ruined my transcript and I hope never to return there. I know some people really like it, but for me it's been a living nightmare.
3. A kid gashed his head open in the baby pool at work today. Thankfully the mother was precious and knew it wasn't my fault. THAT was a miracle all in itself. Usually the moms chew out the lifeguards and seek revenge on them if one small little thing happens.
4. I killed another walkie talkie at work. It had a dreadful, drowning death below 7ft of water. Why they haven't learned to give me waterproof radios, I don't know. At least give me a wrist strap for the thing!
5. Drama. Lame, I know. When will it ever end? Never, I'm guessing. Seriously, it's life. Maybe I should get used to it? Nah, that sounds to hard. (kidding, I'm working on just ignoring people.... at least as much as possible).
6. I dropped the diving board on my hand.
So. I'm not sure what to think of this day. I'm glad God is testing me....
I've been consistently reminded of His grace and mercy today. All of these events could have been catastrophic but they weren't, thank goodness!
Enough for one day.
Goodnight, world. :)

"And we'll all float on okay"
Once again my grand plans of blogging more frequently were unsuccessful. Ha. Oh well.
Anyway, Michigan was wonderful except for the fact it had to be cut short at the last minute. We did the usual swimming, kayaking, laying around, Capt'n Frosties, Checker's Pizza, Brighton, Howell, Ann Arbor, Urban Outfitters, Donny and Len visiter, etc. while we were there.
Summer in general is passing all too quickly. I can't believe I leave for college in 38 days. I'm getting really sad but also really excited. I've spent so much time working and such this summer that I've missed A LOT of things that have happened. I'm not necessarily complaining about work, I'm complaining about summer being to short. haha I still have 38 days to make this summer memorable....... That's a daunting but very doable task. :) My family has planned a Disney trip July 23-30 but I'm not sure I'll be able to go.... I want to, but I need the money and I want to be in Chatt, too. I guess I'll just have to leave that one to God, too..... I'm torn between the two different decisions. Also, as soon as I get back from Florida my cousins from Boston are going to be coming into town so that will consume another 5 days of my life. By that time I'll be down to less that 2 weeks til college. d;hdghdfhg;ksdhg;khgjkhdfg I'm just not ready for things to change. I don't have a choice though.
Anywayyyyy. This was my catch up post. Now that I have a new and better computer hopefully I'll blog more often. My other computer had just about had it, the poor thing.
It's rainy and I'm praying it stays this way until 8 oclock tonight..... hopefully people will stay away from the pool. hehe :)
Adios for now, people. I've off to argue with the people at Chatt State.
