Grandma.

I lost one of the strongest people I've ever been blessed to know today.
My grandma.
She has had to fight all her life and we were blessed with so much more time with her than we ever thought we would get when I was a kid.
I was blessed enough to go see her last summer, and she was so funny and always so sweet. She called me 5 times the day I had  surgery because I was taking a nap and didn't answer and she thought something was wrong.
She had so much love to give and she always did.
I just wish  I had gotten more time with her.  I am so thankful for what little time I got to spend with her. She will forever have impacted in my life and I'll see her again in Heaven one day! I love you grandma.

Senior pictures tomorrow... what?!

Yepp, I am getting my pictures taken for the yearbook tomorrow. The picture that will hang in my mom's and dad's house forever.
WHAT?!
I don't know where the time went, at all. I can't believe that this is my last year of adolescence.
That this time next year I will be 18 and getting ready to move out on my own. That is insanity.
I'm also very excited, this year is going to be filled with awesome memories with friends that I'll have for the rest of my life. I have finally found friends that I can see myself going to visit, or them coming to visit me wherever I decide to go after high school. And that's a pretty big deal, before I always knew I had some pretty good friends, but these 3 I've got now, I could see myself living with them and being perfectly happy.
Sadly, we don't all have the same plans for our futures, but I know that we'll all still get together every now and then. And we will definitely keep in touch throughout our crazy journeys.
Anyways, I'm feeling very blessed right now and I'm about to have a pool day with Danielle and Micah!! :)
It's like 95 degrees out, but we're still going to have fun!! :)

I need to stop saying I'm going to post more..

In the last, three posts or so, I've said I was going  to be posting more, but have I? No.
So as of now I'm going to go on the theory that if I don't say I'm going to post more, then maybe I actually will.
My life has been pretty great here lately, summer is treating me well. My mom is getting married July 6th and I'm going to the beach July 7th. I get to try on my leg Thursday, which I am very excited about.
I am going to run the Color Run October 13th! I am so excited for it.
I can't believe I'm a  senior, and that's a post in of itself. I'm getting my senior pictures for the yearbook taken the 13th!!
Time is passing very quickly, and I'm not sure how I feel about it.
Part of me is ridiculously excited about being an adult and college, the rest of me is saying 'you'll have to cook your own food 24/7! AND pay bills!'
And I won't talk to my brother everyday, I can't see myself just calling him up to talk about my day, but maybe.
My mom will call me everyday I have no doubt.
Welll... That turned into a growing up post in about 2 seconds. haha

Blog, I'm So Sorry for abandoning you!

Hey Guys! (Though i doubt anyone will read this)

I haven't posted since January 22nd... which is way, way too long. 

My life is going pretty freaking great right now. If only I could take away my first two classes of the day, most days would be pretty awesome.

I have the best friends and family. 

Prom is in less than three weeks.

Summer is 37 school days away.

All in all, I'm pretty blessed. :) 

I'm also going to be in our Drama Club's production of the Little Luncheonette Of Terror, which I'm pretty excited about!!! :)

I need the Hell Raisin' Heat of The Summer right now.

Oh, Hi blogging community! I've missed you. Lately the journal that I write in before bed has become my blog, because I have issues mustering up the energy to turn on my computer when I'm exhausted from school  and whatnot.
I have been listening to summer music here lately, and the excitement I have for this summer can just no longer be contained. I am going to have a freaking pool! Which means I'm going to be so tan and my hair will become even blonder. That's one of my favorite things.
However I'm really sad that I don't get to go to the beach this year. The beach is literally my favorite place, and reading anything that's based near the beach makes me happy because i just imagine that i'm laying on the beach reading the book and it makes it even better. Everything I've drawn in art so far has had the beach included in it. I want to live by the beach when I get done with college, that's how much I love it.
Here's a list of things I miss and love about the summer.

• I get to read so much more than any other time because I actually have time.
• The Sun and everything about it.
• The way the air smells when it is warm. 
• Swimming.
• Tanning.
• Daisy Dukes.
• Sun dresses.
• Bikinis
• Being tan.
• The sun setting at like 9.
• Weather warmer than 70 degrees.
• The smell of hay.

And so so much more but those are just a few.

"We were livin' every minute of the night
Like there might never be another
We were runnin' all the caution lights
We were learnin' to fly with a little tail gunner
If there was somethin' to burn, we were burnin' it
Anything with a curve, we were turnin' it
Just wildfires out there under
The hell raisin' heat of the summer" - Florida Georgia Line.
Hurry up, summer.

Catch Up and The College Process.

I've decided that I'm going to stop apologizing for never posting anymore, because only like two people read this, so oh well.
Blogging is something I enjoy and I do it when I want and need to, not because I have a schedule I need to stick to, which if i had readers I'd probably have the inspiration to blog a lot more. But considering that I don't, oh well.

The last two weeks have been spent painting and removing wall paper in my new house. Which is very very exciting for me because our old house is falling apart, and our new house is so so nice.

But anyways, that's not why I wanted to make this post.
I'm sitting at my dad's right now. We've just spent the better half of the night on google maps looking at the satellite images for the schools I want to go to. I have three schools that I want to go to, and the closest one is nine hours away from my Southern Comfort Zone and Safe Haven, Chapel Hill. My program is prosthetics  and orthotics. Which is the profession I have had my heart set on since the 8th grade. And, that's a very rare program only 11 schools in the country have it. My choices are, University of  Hartford in Connecticut (16 hours away), University of Pittsburgh(9 hours away) And St. Petersburg College (12 hours away). They're all good schools, however the two that I feel that I'd get the best education at are 15k/ semester. Which, well is more than I can afford. They are also in big, big cities. And, Northern. Which is honestly the worst thing about them. I'm not a huge fan of northerners as a whole. They tend to be rude and think southern people are ignorant. I know that that's just a sterotype, but through my experiences, it's mostly true with the exception of a few awesome northerners that I know. Big cities are another problem all their own, but I could take a self defense class, and I'm sure I'd get used to it. The school in Florida is in a smaller town, and a retirement community, and it's on the coast. It's the preferable climate and people there.  The crime rate is low and it'd be an awesome temperature all the time. But, the school isn't that great. So, I'm going to apply to all 3 of the schools, and if I only get into one, then I'll go there. If I get into all 3, who knows what I'll do, but I have a whole year to decide that.
So, Happy College Hunting to all of you juniors and seniors! It's exhausting.

Not Going To Be That Shy Girl Anymore.

Today, I made a big decision, that I never would have made a year ago.
I want to try and be our Beta Club candidate for Convention, and that means, if my Beta Club picks me, then I'll be talking in front of 1,000+ people that I don't know.
And that's huge, especially for me, because I HATE talking in front of people. Recently, though I have gotten a lot better. And I'm really, really excited for this! It will be a great opportunity for me if I do get to do it. I will meet a ton of new people. And if I win, it would open huge doors college wise.
But I need a good campaign idea, really bad! I've got nothing. But I'm confident that between my friends and I, I will find something good.

On a completely unrelated note, NaNoWriMo is fast approaching! And I'm also excited for it because I have an idea :)
