Oh man. I just finished the first draft of my college essay. Now I gotta type it up and edit like mad. I am so excited for school. So I'm taking a break by talking to a camp friend, playing minesweeper, and reading trashy celebrity headlines. Perfect.

I'm leaving again for camp tomorrow. This is my address ( Read more... )

My mom is on a mission to explore the town. Today I visited a place right in Nisky I'd never even heard of. Did you know that we have a bird sanctuary as part of the Reist Nature Preserve?

It never bothers me to be in the house alone. But right now, after my sister's gone to bed, it is just way too quiet. How strange. This doesn't often happen. I'm not sick anymore. I've gotten over the flu, but it ruined a lot of the plans I had for vacation. I had all these things I wanted to do, and none of them ended up happening. We did end up ( Read more... )

Ever had friends just show up on your doorstep? I hadn't, until today. I've been sick with whatever Amanda had, which I only caught because I took care of her all weekend, so I haven't been out. Yesterday was super lonely, because I didn't see anyone, and it was cloudy. Today, at around two, Mitchell stopped by, and we stayed on the doorstep for ( Read more... )
