and I'm way excited. I really enjoy playing around with it, and it makes me feel a little more powerful, or important. Except I put my memory card in it so I could look at my pictures and it's incredibly slow. But that's ok, it's not like I have anything better to do...
I went on my jog this morning and on the way back to my house I saw a turtle and rabbit on the side of the street. And guess who was farther ahead than the other one? You guessed it ladies and gentlemen, the turtle. It's times like that where I wish I had a camera permanently attached to me, so I could have some really awesome picture demonstrating the story that we all heard when we were little kids. So that really made my morning.
Jordan and I cleaned my bathroom yesterday (because it was a very not clean bathroom) and weird as it may seem, I actually had a really good time. I sorted through all of my junk, got rid of some (but certainly not all) of it, and felt much better. There's just something about a clean bathroom that I love, I'm just never motivated enough to keep it clean. But needless to say, I was very excited to take a shower in it last night. And I think it was a good experience for Jordan and I because it showed that we can do those kinds of things together, and actually enjoy it.
We then proceeded up to game night, which was very very fun and once the pictures get posted I will certainly share. We played some football and ultimate frisbee which really didn't work because we didn't have enough people, but I still enjoyed myself. Then we got some stuff figured out for our trip to Chicago and Six Flags and I just CANNOT wait! It will hopefully be a really good weekend with some really good friends. And next weekend, which is my birthday, I'm hoping we're able to hang out at Kim's lodge and celebrate, and hopefully my friends from Coe can come down and visit me. I'm really looking forward to these next few weeks.
And before I know it...I will be back at Coe. Which I am really excited for because I can't wait to meet the freshmen in my CAP group and move into my room, but I know that I'm going to miss everyone from home so much. I think it may even be worse because I've really spent a lot of time this summer with the people that mean the most to me, and it has been (for the most part) very stress free. One source of stress in my life right now is my dad though. I don't know what's been going on with me lately, but I've just been very up and down on how I feel about him and I've snapped at him at work more than once, and it always suprises me. I feel really bad because he used to be the one that I loved spending time with. I don't think having a job with him is a very good idea. And he also doesn't understand the situation with the loans that mom and I are trying to figure out, but he always asks, and I have to explain the same thing multiple times because he doesn't get it. And I know he would help out if he could but he and Julie are basically broke, and they will probably be like that until the day they die because Dad has never had any sort of savings, and just goes on with life, not worrying about money, which suits him just fine. It's just that Mom is helping me a lot with college by carrying one loan for my freshman year and she's helping me find financial aid for this coming one, and I just think it would be a nice thing to do if Dad could help out a little bit but I completely understand why he can't. And as you can see, I have a lot of thoughts in my head right now...just thought I'd share. But I'm off!
