If I'm being totally honest, it felt like it was a hundred days to departure yesterday. Except there's a little less than fifty. This summer is going by so quickly. This year is going by so quickly. It's been a year of milestones and big events. So far, two of my family members have been in the hospital (they're doing well now), I've gotten my first official/I-Have-To-Fill-Out-A-Crapton-Of-Forms Job, I'm a licensed driver now (Merrin the Minivan for the win!), and I was accepted to CBYX. My hair is starting to sun streak, I'm freckly, and I have a perpetual sunburn on my cheeks. Spending the fourth on a lake was a great decision. My hair is an absolute mess, I haven't been out of shorts and a tee shirt in days, and my bathing suit has an american flag on it. I am cute. My cat tried to stage a mutiny the other day, but she was thwarted by my dog. It was interesting to watch. If eyes could kill my dog would have burst into flames. I've started reading the recommended list from CBYX, meaning I've started reading A Tramp Abroad by Mark Twain, which inspired my sister to ask, "Are they implying you're a slut?" There's two definitions for tramp, and the one that applies is not slut.
I swear, I had this post planned in my head, and the second I sat down to write it flew out of my head. I have a funny story though! I was writing this and my mom asked me to get her laptop and glasses for her. So I got up and I get the laptop and give it to my mom, and am about to sit down when my mom says "Aren't you forgetting something?" I sort of stand there for a moment, whisper "F*ck", and go and find the glasses. The fact that I said the F-word sets off a riot in my family. I'm still not entirely sure how they heard it, I barely did. As I learn german, it slowly becomes more apparent that my favorite phrase is "Ich bin eine kartoffel." Every time I sit down to learn on DuoLingo, my legs go to sleep, and they end up going numb. So I'm going to end this with an inspiring quote. "I believe in pink. I believe that laughing is the best calorie burner. I believe in kissing, kissing a lot. I believe in being strong when everything seems to be going wrong. I believe that happy girls are the prettiest girls. I believe that tomorrow is another day and I believe in miracles." -Audrey Hepburn
