Unicorns & the Diamonds

Not much has actually happened since I last posted since it was only slightly over a week ago. There are a few things, but they mostly occurred in my brain.

Firstly, I went to register for classes only to find I could not afford it. At all. I thought I would have to take the semester off. Then yesterday I checked my email to find my FAFSA had gone through and, basically, I'm going to school for free this year. This huge weight has been lifted off my shoulders; I honestly feel like I could do anything.
Next on my list of things to do is get a job, followed by getting my license, and eventually a car. I'm currently working on getting a new laptop (which is sort of my graduation present), and I'm going to start looking into cameras to buy. I miss the days where I was filming 24/7. I want a good camera for filming and a Polaroid camera because, let's face it, they're totally awesome!
Lately, aka the past few hours, I've been obsessed with Marina and the Diamonds. She is amazing and I cannot wait to buy her CD. Also unicorns. I'm considering getting a small, small, small unicorn tattoo on my foot or something. One that I draw myself. We'll see.

I've just been feeling so happy and I wanted to update. I'm going to try to get something done this week. I want to stuff as much fun as I can into my last week of summer! Until next time,
BUH BYE.

It's been a while

I always manage to skip a month or so between posts.
Lots has happened since June.

Let me start with the end of my childhood: July 15th, when the last Harry Potter film was released.
An "in-depth"-ish review of the movie can be found here. I saw it in 3D about a week later. It really felt like my childhood was over, and it still does.
The actual day of July 15th, I was an emotional wreck. Every little thing made me cry. My dad called saying he got a new bed frame and that I wasn't keeping my old bed; I wept for 10 minutes.
I moved out of my house which I'd lived in since I was born.

I applied/got in to college and am registering for classes next week. I'm trying my best to find a job. It's been difficult but I'm pulling through.

Susie and I have been watching Skins all summer. We've watched 3 episodes of series 4 and at the moment I'm having trouble remembering what made me hate it so much. It is so beautiful. Also, Susie mentioned how Effy is kind of crazy, and it took all I had not to laugh because she's not wrong. Effy is craycray. hehe.

Sherri and I have been watching Veronica Mars and Doctor Who. It's been fun. I love both.
Also I watched Winter's Bone and loved it. Also Parks and Rec. I guess this past month has been tv/movie themed.

In other news, my mom, Sherri, Sarah, and I went to a state park and hiked to a waterfall which we sort of swam in. I just kind of stood in it. The next day a bird fell in through the car window and died under Sarah's butt. I was sobbing because laughing wasn't even a good enough reaction to how hilarious it was. We also saw 2 creepy clowns. Is it the apocalypse?
Soon after, my mom, Sherri, and I tried to go tubing in a river nearby. I took a raft and followed Sherri down some rapids. While she wooshed right over them, I went backwards and hit my left side on a big rock and almost drowned. That was fun. My leg is still sore.
After that I saw Bon Iver in concert with Sherri. It rained like crazy but it was still awesome. Their music is really beautiful.

It was an eventful week. This week I've just been on the computer or begging for a job or watching tv. I feel pretty useless. I've been trying to write more. I like to write especially on rainy days, which I heard are coming on Sunday and Monday.

Okay, it's almost 1am and I'm supposed to be up early tomorrow to finish getting my stuff from the old house. Then I'm going to drop off Sarah at my mom's. Maybe I'll get something done for once.

I've been putting off finishing Percy Jackson. I started rereading The Hunger Games. I also still need to get my hands on a copy of Beauty Queens! 
I'm such a slacker.

Good day. Or I guess Good night.
