This weekend, in my opinion, was a great success.
I got to see audrey, which was very needed due to her prolonged absence this summer. We went on a run together which was very motivating and fun.
Then, strawberry festival was quite fun...other than the DUI and someone pretending to be a drunk douche bag, when really he was just being the latter of those two.
Smoking hookah at the end of the night was just the perfect finish.
Then the next day I went home, just to come back to the island a mere 8 hours later and hang out with jamie, angela and sam (who quite possibly might be one of the funniest people I have ever met). It was fantastic, just smoking hookah in jamies room just listening to music and talking for literally hours.
I realize I am quite a positive thinker right now, but that may be possibly due to the copious amount of endorphins my brain is releasing because I just got back from one of the hardest workouts I can remember. Its easy to forget how good running actually feels, but I am sweating buckets and am still panting and it just feels that I am finally taking control of my body and mind.

sorry, quite the long entry.

It feels almost like im all grown up now.

one week i was a teenage-hopeless watching tv, lazing around, eating too much out of boredom, without a job and without a liscence.
basically without any ambition at all.
and then all of a sudden i decided to run two miles everyday at lincoln part (or atleast 4 times a week), got my liscence, and got a steady job that tips amazingly!
And I have all of strawberry weekend off as well!

Fan-smashing-tastic if you ask me.

in two days of workin 4 hours each I have made almost 40 dollars in tips. It may not seem like much, but its 40 more dollars than what I would make sitting on my ass at home.

Well, summer has finally begun.
Not necessarily with a bang, but it has begun.
Yesterday I went to bed at 7:30 (my life is riveting, I know), this morning I woke up at 8 and went on a two mile run--uphill and all through Lincoln Park-- and then played on the swings a little bit. I know its not much, but its important, I think, to start off small and work up, because as I have seen before I get extremely discouraged if I start of trying to run 5 miles uphill. It just doesn't work.

I think the bro and I might walk down to westwood today so i can get a new journal and book, and I might head to the gym later tonite to work out on weights.
Cross is going to kick my ass, so I am trying to be as prepared as possible.

AND on a less healthy note:
I went to cracks 19th on saturday. It was so much fun...aside from aud getting sick and me ashing in my beer.
It really was fun though, I can't remember much, but it was fun.

Recipe for Summer Cocktails:
2 cups sugar
1 cup fresh lime juice
4 cups chilled vodka
Lime slices
Instructions: Boil sugar and water, remove from heat, add lime juice, refrigerate, put in pitcher and mix in vodka. Drink with friends, preferably outside in the sunshine on the beach or at a beach cabin...

I must go run now, for it is my only legitimate reason for procrastination of my studies.


edit:
now I am back. Now that I have shot up my heart rate and did a few crunches (...not very many, but I will get there!) my endorphins are going crazy and all I want now is a fresh piece of water melon and some iced coffee. And summertime to come, of course.
Speaking of summertime: I cannot bloody wait to go camping. It will be just like a summer-time-get-away should be, consisting of drinks, smokes, snacks, sun, hookah, popsicles, bonfires, drunken laughter, and friends. Beautiful.

But now, I must really get through with the end of this year. The pain.

well, cheerio then.

Ah, i forgot how much working in motivates you in all aspects of your life.
SUCCESS!

so im grounded for two weeks.
awesome.
its too bad my parents are control freaks who cant really control anything in their pathetic lives but me. and they can hardly even do that because they are such sorry beings.

and, on top of that, mono stays in your system for at least 6 months. its not contagious for that long, but it stays. and, my mother also informed me that those people my age who have mono can get depressed because it makes you so tired.
i will just have to inform her that it is seeing her everyday this summer that makes me depressed more than anything.

good night.

I went on a run today.
success. Im going to really try and start moving considering this past week I have done nothing but sit and watch the television.

Now I am having my peach tea with honey and the sun is shining and my room is lovely.
Its just odd to think that in about a year I will be ready to move out.
I didn't think I would be saying those words today, or anytime soon for that matter.
I just still feel very young. Yet, at the same time I feel like I have matured a lot over this past year, and if I grow as much in this upcoming year as I have over the past few months, well, who knows who I will be and what I will be doing with my life.

Hokay,
Time for another popsicle.
