SUMMER AT LAST

(This post is dedicated to my dear friend Jamie. ^_^ Hi, Jamie!)

So...it's SUMMER AT LAST. I don't think I've had a summer this awesome since...well, probably since the summer before I started high school. Take last summer, for instance. I found out that I needed two more Bible credits to graduate...and I only had one year left. So I did a WHOLE YEAR'S WORTH OF BIBLE over the summer. It was an awesome summer, I was just studying. A lot.

Anyway...this new sense of summer, the sort of summer that comes with no school, is filled with all sorts of things. I have time to write and draw now, and paint and such! ^_^

I've already been to the beach twice, which is as many times as I went last summer. And as many times as I went the summer before. And it hasn't even been a whole month of summer! ^_^

Plus, I've been going to the library a lot more! Right now I'm reading the Circle Series by Ted Dekker...and it is AWESOME!!!!! They finally got Black in, so I finished that a few days ago. Right now I'm reading Red and thoroughly enjoying it. x)

(Side note: The day I finally started reading Black again, I went on Google News, and found a whole bunch of somewhat featured articles about the potential for a new strain of bird flu that could become a pandemic. As far as I recall, a similar phenomenon occurred when I started reading Black the first time. Coincidence? I THINK NOT!)

So anyway...I've also gone to the nearby boba place twice. If you're wondering what boba is, it's like giant tapioca. And you get it in these sort of Icee-ish drinks that come in all sorts of flavors. So far I've tried vanilla, chocolate, and cookies and cream. I have to say that chocolate is my favorite, and vanilla my least favorite. xD

Yesterday some friends and I went to the beach (this is the second beach trip I was referring to), and we rented one of those six-person bikes, and a two-person bike (there were seven of us). We rode around for about an hour, had a blast, and got a great workout in the bargain! xD

It's getting late...I have to go to bed in eight minutes (yes, it's the More Normal Bedtime once again!)...but I just don't want to get off the computer! I want to work on my novel, and read everyone's blogs, and Skype people, and email people...(speaking of which, FC Summer has also struck, which means nothing ever happens on NSA. >_> xD Somehow I find myself spending more time on Facebook...which is unusual for me...)

*sits in the darkness with only the light of my clock and my computer for company* *tries to think of what more to write*

Four minutes...*listens to clock tick* *feels poetic* xD

Ah, well, I'll probably come up with something more to write about tomorrow. xD Until then, dear readers! x)

That is all. u_u
