So I actually got a lot of work done for my first monday of sumer vacation. I went to school to drop off some papers in the afternoon and actually wound up staying there for three hours! I stayed at first to play Rock Band with some friends in the Green Room but, when the next test period began and we all split off, I went with another friend to my AP Art examination(which, because i was in an internship this past month of school, I was exempt from that and all other finals (yosh!)) and ended up working on our mural the entire time XD It was productive AND fun! So then i got home, changed and went to swim practice where, after only 20 minutes of swimming, it thundered and we all had to go home XD After that I e-mailed all of the teachers I needed to email, showered and am now hiding from the thunder XD Good day, right?!

on another note I found this really great jazz-pop artist Wouter Hamel! I'm pretty much addicted right now XD check out his song "Distant Melody" and "Fantastic" among the other great tunes he has if you want a taste of this guy

So now I'm going to hop off this thing before i get electrocuted @_@ Wouldn't want that, right?! I think i'm going to either practice guitar, work on my ASPIRE presentation or work on my commissions...or all three!! Haha, wish me luck!

So I am officially a Freshman in college and let me tell you, it scares me s**tless! I want to leave high school but at the same time I love it's warm familiarity. I know that the only way to progress and move on is to...well, <i>move on</i>, but I just don't feel ready. I would really love to take this year off and travel but that's not going to happen. First of all, i don't have enough money and, second of all, i'm pretty sure I'd either get myself lost or killed. So, I've convinced myself, I need this to grow up. I <i>need</i> this. I'm scared out of my mind, but if I wasn't scared to go to college I think something might be wrong.

So, there's my dilemma. Laid out in the open for someone to hopefully connect with or gain something from. Feel free to drop some advice or to say something inspirational I like to give support as well so if there's anything you need advice on or you just want someone to read don't hesitate to post it.
