I am a slacker

Well hey there. So...I didn't write all summer. Honestly every time I thought about it I'd just say, "Well, there's enough short text posts about my life on my Tumblr. There's no need to write a whole blog post!" Plus I'm ashamed because the last time I finished an entire book was in May. That was 3 and 1/2 months ago. SHAME.

I guess I'll just summarize the important stuff. I changed my major to visual fine arts last month, and I'm taking only art classes this semester. It's kind of scary but also I finally feel like I'm doing the right thing. No idea what kind of job I'll get or anything but I have a feeling that it'll all work out. I also took another step toward adulthood by finally taking driver's ed in July and then getting my butt down to the DMV to take my written driver's test which, thankfully, I passed. I'm going to take the driving test in October, and then I'll finally be able to drive the lovely little green car that's been taunting me from the driveway for the past few days.

I also did a few fun things this summer, though I will admit I mostly hung out with the Sibs. I can't help it that I only have like 3 friends! I saw Batman at midnight with Sarah and Eliot, and Sarah cried and it was adorable. I also went to the Farmington River and used the rope swing there, which was amazing and terrifying. It took all the courage I had to finally just jump, but it was so fun once I did. The only thing that worried me besides letting go too soon was the fact that the river is like 70 feet deep. When I stretched my legs out the water felt so so cold and I couldn't help but wonder if there was a scary river creature in the depths beneath me.

Other than that adventure I spent a lot of time working on my art, while also watching a lot of TV. I recently started The O.C. and it's awful but hey, TV is fun so why not watch ALL THE THINGS?!

Which reminds me, I got to have a great day in New York City with Susie on August 25, which ended with me sitting about 20 feet away from MATT SMITH AND KAREN GILLAN. Yes, I went to the NYC screening of Asylum of the Daleks. Mostly the day consisted of sitting on a train and standing in line, but the actual screening part was so perfect. Matt and Karen are wonderful, and the episode was great, and it turned out Murray Gold was there which was almost too much for me to handle. Important note: I cried several times that day. During the episode, obviously, but also when the audience lifted their sonic screwdrivers together, and clapped the master's four beats, and when matt and karen walked out, and when murray gold stood up. I CRIED LIKE A WEIRDO. I just love Doctor Who hehehe. I wish I could've posted about this sooner but we had to keep all the episode stuff a secret or whatever. 

And the weekend before that, I saw my favorite Marina and the Diamonds live at Six Flags. She sang Lies and it was my favorite thing ever. Wow, now that I'm writing it all down I realize how great this summer was. I'll need to make a video soon!

Anyway, I can't really think of anything else to say. Other than some Louise-related drama my week has been going well. I'm super happy that the week is almost over though. And that it's almost fall! Finally!

I guess I'll be off then. BYEYeyYEYEYE.
