This week I learned...

1. Re-apply sunscreen. Very important lesson
2. Sunburn on the lips is NO fun.
3. I'm super jealous of all my friends who grew up on an island.
4. Long drives aren't so long if you have good company and good music.
5. Swimming is fun. Night swimming is SUPER fun.
6. I have the best friends in the world. [Already knew this, but, I just had to re-state it]
7. Some people are unintentionally forceful about certain things, and sometimes, it makes me super frustrated.
8. Monday night is good for some things and bad for other things.
9. Sometimes, boys just go shirtless ALL day.

BONUS:
11. The Lord may have prepared me for something that I didn't think would happen for a long time. But I'm not sure.
12. After about two games of Zombie in a dark church, it's a lot less creepy/scary. And it's very fun to scare people with Holly. :)

This week I learned...

1. I am not good at staying up all night.
2. My car can't handle long drives. I've said I'll drive it till it falls apart...well...I think that day is right around the corner.
3. If I keep dwelling on things that someone has done that have made me angry, there's a good chance that I'll keep being angry at that person, and we'll never grow as friends. Holly taught me that.
4. I'm super impatient when it comes to my love life/future husband.

9. God is sneaky and teaches me things I need to know when I need to know them.
10. I really want to hang out with my Athens family outside of Athens. Somewhere like...Europe.

Friends...

It has been quite awhile. I've been busy. Since I last posted I have:
1. Taken finals
2. Gone to Scotland
3. Moved
4. Started classes again.

summer classes=lame. why do i do this to myself?

Procrastination. You know how I do.

In true me fashion, rather than study or write a paper, like I should be doing, I'm posting on my blog.
A few things:
1. Grover's been extra whiny recently.
2. Holly found my blog. Yay!
3. Finals are pointless. In the real world, you get to look things up.
4. I have a new layout.

Allow me to expand.

1. He just whines all the time. For nothing. Yesterday, I got tired of it and put him in his crate, where he fell asleep and didn't whine. Weirdo. I think he's bored because nobody will play with him. Nobody will play with him because the nobody who's home to most during his awake hours has been studying for two days straight. I'm pretty sure he's biting his claws now. He's very interesting.
2. She googled herself! I told her as long as the boys don't find out, it's okay. I'm pretty sure I'd get made of pretty hardcore.
3. I just really am over school. I understand that teachers need to somehow test us to make sure we've learned something. I just hate taking tests.
4. I got tired of the old one. It was too...random for me. And also, too blah at the same time. Two colors, how boring? Anyways, I'm starting to get bored of the picture at the top as well, so don't be surprised if I change it.

I should probs get back to work now. Sheesh.

This week I learned...

1. Sometimes, boys are mean. And when you tell them to stop, sometimes they don't care. And you sometimes just have to get over it.
2. Finals are pointless. In the real world, you're totally able to look things up. Yes, it's true that there are a lot of people, such as doctors, who should probably memorize things, because time is a factor, but even then, they still get to look things up.
3. I need to learn how to use my planner.
4. God provides. I went from having $350 for my mission trip to $2000 in a week.
5. Staying up all night with your friends is fun. The next day generally isn't.
6. My parents aren't that different.
7. I live in the ghetto. I already knew this, but I was reminded of it recently.
8. Different people deal with different things in different ways. For example, some boys shut down and don't talk.
9. My friends and I really are a family in every way but one. Biologically.
10. Some teenagers rooms are bigger than my house. Thanks, solely, to their parents.

Summer Reading

Callie did this, so I'm going to. I honestly don't know what I'm going to be reading, but here's a few:

I've already started reading the Barbarian Way and Tales of Beedle the Bard, and I started Captivating waaaay long ago back in high school. So, clearly, I hope to finally finish it.

I've heard a lot about the Supernatural Ways of Royalty from my friends, but I honestly have no idea what it's about. Also, apparently, Redeeming Love is just AMAZING! A couple of my friends have been reading the series...I don't know what it's called, but the first book is The Eye of the World. One day, our friends decided to start deciding which characters we were, so I need to see what all the hype is about and see if I really am like the character they say I am.

You're Beautiful

If you haven't heard this song, go do it now. The lyrics are awesome on their own, but the music adds a lot to it.

You're Beautiful-Phil Wickham

I see Your face in every sunrise
The colors of the morning are inside Your eyes
The world awakens in the light of the day
I look up to the sky and say
You’re beautiful

I see Your power in the moonlit night
Where planets are in motion and galaxies are bright
We are amazed in the light of the stars
It’s all proclaiming who You are
You’re beautiful, You're beautiful

I see you there hanging on a tree
You bled and then you died and then you rose again for me
Now you are sitting on Your heavenly throne
Soon we will be coming home
You’re beautiful, you're beautiful

When we arrive at eternity’s shore
Where death is just a memory and tears are no more
We’ll enter in as the wedding bells ring
Your bride will come together and we’ll sing
You’re beautiful, You're beautiful, You're beautiful

I see Your face, You're beautiful, You're beautiful, You're beautiful
I see Your face, You're beautiful, You're beautiful, You're beautiful
I see Your face, I see Your face
I see Your face, You’re beautiful, You’re beautiful, You’re beautiful
