Pants, uh oh. Swimsuit, ok. Naked, we'll see.

Summer is kind of sort of almost over. And it's a little sad. One, because I'll have to leave my friends and family at home. Two, because I'll have to actually do work. And three, because I barely dented my summer list! The only things I can safely say I completed were my need to download and my need to read. But can either of those ever by truly fulfilled? I think not. Let me reflect on my summer, even though there are still 4 weeks left.

Excitements:
I spent a lot of time with friends, and definitely grew closer to them this summer. The hard thing will be when they leave. Ash is headed back to SLO this weekend. And while it makes me sad, I get to see her in a few weeks. That's right. Road trip! A couple other people have already started school which is resulting in my social life declining. I guess I can't complain. I've also spent a lot of time with my family, which is something I won't be able to do when I start school. There have been a few beach trips, some interesting parties, and some pretty cool hangouts.

I did not learn how to type faster, it just kind of happened. I guess that's the same thing. I'm nowhere near where I want to be, but I can type without looking at the key board for the most part, which is something that I've never been able to do.

There were a bunch of Kajabi can can games this summer. And there were some difficult rounds. I didn't win, but I pulled a close second. Ash is just too much for me :)

Dissapointments:
Boredom. There has been a lot of it. Sitting, waiting, being alone, and bored. That has pretty much been my life for the past 2 weeks. I wake up (at 7 nonetheless), I drive my brother to school, come home and go back to sleep. Then I wake up again and usually eat something. Then, the highlight of my day, I either watch some sort of tv show for hours upon end, read, or organize my iTunes (which, needless to say, is very dry and boring). After that, more eating, more watching, more iTunes. It's very ritualistic. And very lame.

Harry Potter. I can't believe it. Postponed until July 2009. Argh. It better be really super awesomely amazing. Otherwise it will be premently place under the "disappointment" category.

I attempted to run. It's very hot in Menifee.

I did not learn Java. I can't even say I put a lot of effort into trying. But I guess I'll have to get my butt into gear when school starts. ICS 21! We shall see.

I wasn't able to buy a Wii because of lack of funds. Soon though. Probably before the holidays. But I did get my hands on an N64 AND Sega Genesis. So pretty exciting.



3 weeks until I move into my apartment! 4 until school starts. But I'm pretty booked until then. Hopefully the summer will end with a bang.

And this weekend, I get to spend time with friends, take a crazy road trip, and see my cousin. And I know you all are wondering. Yes, when I called him I said "Hey it's Jessica.....you're cousin." I didn't deem it necessary to add the "cool" at the end. But I secretly said it in my head.

Friends

Happy Birthday to:

No wonder I'm poor this month.

Just Do It!

Free Yogurtland!

Definitely the best part of my day.

Well, maybe second : )

Thanks for the Memories

Today was a monumental day. I completed Majora's Mask! And it was amazing :) And in case you were wondering, yes I did get all 20 heart containers, all 6 bottles, all upgrades, and all 24 masks. So, yes a very successful run if I do say so myself. Besides Zelda, what else have I been doing with my summer? Let me share with you.

I've been working at my least favorite food establishment, Subway, and needless to say, it has been a nightmare. I don't like the person I become when I go there. I think I'm going to quit in the next few weeks. And I don't mean quit and then a few weeks later come back. I mean, genuinely quit, and never go back. So Kevin, you only have a few sandwiches left from me. I think I will be relieved when I finally do leave, especially if my job interview goes well tomorrow!

I've also been reading a lot! Which, I think, is my biggest accomplishment. I've read about 8 books, give or take. I'm actually reading 3 right now! I know it sounds weird, but sometimes I need a change. In case you were wondering, it's "Motor Mouth," by Janet Evonavich, "Black," by Ted Dekker, and "Sorcerer's Stone," by J.K. Rowling. All 3 are amazing! I have a few others on my list, so we will see what sort of progress I can make.

Running. That is something I have not been disciplined in. I really do like it, but I find myself filling my time with other things, nothing quite as fulfilling though. I will definitely be making more of an effort to run my 10 miles.

I think my one guilty pleasure this summer has been catching up on all of my t.v. shows. I won't list them all, but let's just say I am excited for the 1st of September! And while I'm on the topic of television, don't expect to talk to me Sunday the 7th. First Colts game. It's going to be a good year! I've also been watching the Olympics, which have been incredible. I'm actually watching them as I type. Men's Gymnastics. Good stuff.

Oh and I'm getting ready to dye/cut/do something with my hair. Any suggestions?

Irvine tomorrow!!

The Secret Life of an American Teenager

So this is kind of weird and random, but it's something that I need to say.

I just had the most amazing talk with my brother. And that is something that I haven't done in a few years. We laughed, we hung out, we remembered; it was great. I don't know when or if that will happen again.

So if any of you are going to be near Anaheim next Tuesday, come out and see the show! (My brother's show) Chain Reaction, 7 pm :)

EDIT: I vow never to get sunburned again. My face is peeling, my body hurts, AND I have a cold sore. It is all very sad.
