playing catch-up.

i think there's a boy outside practicing for his choir class or whatever. he keeps singing, oh oh oooooooh ooooooooooh. it's very beautiful. he has a nice voice.

i haven't written in quite a while. not about anything super important, not that i write about super important things anyway. i guess it's just time for a life update.

tonight i took a couple hours to myself to write and think and be creative. i listened to music and watched cheesy things on youtube and just relaxed.

i've come to a couple of conclusions:

1. i'm not taking my summer school photography class. it's too far. i don't want to take the bus. i don't want to ride my bike. it's not that important anyway. i'd rather work. which leads me to my second conclusion.

2. i'm going to get a second job. wish me luck.

3. i love magazine club, but i'm scared of letting people down. i hope that no one is disappointed by the club or by me. i am working on making it amazing.

4. i miss my family. dad, page, lauren, and ryan. it makes me sad that i don't see them as often as i'd like (as in... everyday).

5. i want to be a better friend.

litterbugs. bed bugs. bugging bugs.

i thought this sign was cute.

rachel and i went on a quick photo adventure yesterday. it was lots of fun!

remember: please be respectful.

cracking down.

i feel like i need to start this sunday off with a blog to jump-start my productivity for the week.

i am behind in life.

school work, club stuff, family and friend things... everything's just not where it's suppose to be right now. i need to pick it up and get back on track. this week is the time to do it.

this weekend a friend came up to visit and commented on how wonderful slo is. i definitely have to agree. right now, this is the best possible place for me to be. 

i just need to work my butt off so i can keep enjoying my wonderful, little spot called slo.

boys, pay attention:

i would like to be proposed to like this.

gorgeous.

welcome home.

after a very stressful, scary, uncomfortable couple of days, kat, jess, ashley, cassie and i finally have a house to live in- together. 

the together is the best part. 

the second best part is... THE HOUSE!

our cute, beautiful, little hill house.

our gorgeous kitchen with skylights and a door that leads to the deck.

my favorite part of the house: the outside deck! i can't wait to have summer bbqs!

my room leads right onto the deck. how cute is that?

i am so happy and excited and lucky to be living with every single one of these girls. we're going to have such a great summer and such a great year next year. 

i'm glad we stuck together.

oh, jo.

miss joanna goddard always has the best stuff on her personal and glamour blogs. 

today, this is what she posted.

i love george michael (michael sera). he is adorable and i can't wait to see this movie.

thanks, jo!

will.

today i was talking to will, a fellow journalism buddy. he was telling me about the year he took off from school.

will went to australia, new zealand, and taiwan for eight months. how awesome is that? he saved up a good amount of money before he left, bought a ticket to australia, new zealand and back home, and then just went for it. he said that he spent his days surfing and his nights working. he ran into a friend in australia and ended up taking a road trip with him. he hadn't planned on going to taiwan, but went just on a whim because he could.

will is awesome. his trip is awesome.

new goal in life: just do it. 

(sorry, nike, i'm stealing your mojo.)

"Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines, sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover."

thank you, sami!

thank you, jules!

accept:

"I have always been afraid of being discovered as a fraud. Looking at my history, I should have become someone else. It's as if I've implanted a reset button in my head, so as soon as I do anything I don't want to acknowledge as myself, I hit it and we're good to go. I do things, think things, want things that I don't want other people to know about. Truth is, though, all those skeletons I want to stay hidden away are still me, and I've got to deal with them." -aaron mccoy

thank you, aaron!

dance:
