Wow it has been quite some time since I've logged on to this site and actually used it or written any kind of blog. My mistake.. Well to do some updating, summer is over as of yesterday. My classes this semester include political science 1 -which is American Government-, concert choir, concert band and intermediate algebra.. again. I didn't do so well last semester and so I'm retaking it. I really hope that I do well this semester. The only problem is that my teacher, although pretty cool, likes to call on people for answers and so that part I'm not very fond of. I really don't like being put on the spot and I hate being wrong out loud. So add those two things together and its massively embarrassing to me.. *sigh*.. oh well, it's something I'll have to learn to do I suppose, yes? Anyways. Update continued: the first four fifths of summer was really slow and boring on my side of the spectrum because I did not go out, no friends were around to hang out with and I wasn't lucky enough to be hired by anyone. So very slow and boring-like, except the swimming every Tuesday and Thursday with a couple cousins. Then some family came up from down south and things started to kick up some. We went swimming, had a BBQ, celebrated some birthdays and then things got quiet again. But later on in late July I got a phone call from a cousin and we set up a camping trip down in San Luis Obispo which was definitely an adventure to say the least. There was amazing food, interesting photos and some alcohol too. People got a little tipsy here and there but no major drunkenness. There were a few little spats between my brother and I along with a cousin and everyone else there, but that is something that's almost unavoidable with the different personalities. Our road trip down south consisted of 8 people at one point. I was the one driving down to LA (very long trip.. I ended up with one hell of a migraine but thank goodness one of the cousins who attended is fabulous at giving massages and so he got rid of the massive pain I got from driving 7 and a half hours straight) but I was thankfully not the driver back home. It was quite a journey.. So we went to 6 Flags Magic Mountain, I ended up losing my wallet down at a BJ's Brewery that night, and then the next 4 days were dedicated to the camping portion of the road trip. We drove to my dad's work to drop off some of the camping gear, drove home, took showers, looked longingly at our beds (I'm speaking about just my brother and I here) and then drove back down to San Rafael to go camping for two more days. Lovely right? So the first night of camping with just my immediate family was great. The second night.. not really so much.. The second day consisted of my dad's company picnic down at the camp grounds. The picnic part was fine, but the camping portion after it wasn't so hot. There was a large group of people who ended up at our site and they wouldn't shut up. I went to bed at around 9:30 pm and didn't fall asleep until a little past 2 in the morning because they were so loud. I had to tell them to GTFO of the campsite if they were going to continue to talk because I'd been trying to sleep for the past 4 hours. Fun right? NO. So the camping finally ended after 7 straight days of it and then I got to finally sleep in my own bed. Huzzah! :D it felt fabulous being back home in my own bed to say the least. Being back home and relaxing was great and then I went off to my boyfriend's house for a couple days which was a nice getaway from sibling rivalry (little brother unit and myself still weren't getting along too well) and then school started yesterday.. today I have band and math. I'm excited for band. I haven't played really more than a couple times in the last few years since I've been out of high school and so I'm going to be really needing to work out my chops.. they're going to hurt for the first couple months of this semester for sure because they're massively out of shape... As is the rest of me... Time seems to be going by really slow.. I started this entry at 8:45 this morning and it's 10:15 now. All that I've been doing is writing this blog, doing random things online and playing a game on my phone where me and someone else are given words and we try to draw them and then the other person has to guess what it is.. a lot like pictionary. There's also another hour until my boyfriend gets out of class.. my own starts at noon. I think it's just time to putz around online for the remainder of my time out of class..
Peace.
