Well now, it's been a while since I've had an actual post, but even longer since i had a picture with it! I apologize for slacking off! But hey, the important this is that I'm blogging now =]

Let's start where I left off; on the 3rd my family had our 4th of july celebration since daddy worked then next day, and that was awesome =] Went to fireworks in Avon Lake. Saw some friends there! Maureen, Sarah M., Mike O., Monica (<3!). And then it came time to settle down and watch the fireworks. Who do I sit next to? You'll never guess! CHARLIE! @!&#*$#!!!! Of all the fireworks displays that night, we ended up at that one. of all the seats that night, we ended up next to each other. Of all the people to run into, it was him! I almost died. in a bad way. And then what does my dad do? He invited him over for the 4th the next day!!! All I wanted was to slap him and crush him and tell him how horrid I really think he is =/ BLAH!

On the 4th I spent most of the day layin' out catchin' some sun, trying to convince nick to come visit. Failed miserably. However, I did get to go to Bay Days with my friends Monica and Mike, and I had a great time! Saw Vanessa, had about 100 awkward run-ins with people from mine, mikes, monicas, and other people's pasts. It was a night of awkwardness. I still had tons of fun =] Met this fun guy, Ian. He seems pretty nice. Now he has a ukulele obsession that he developed that night when one of his friends left the uke they won from a carnie in the car. But hey, whatever floats his boat, eh? =]

Started work Tuesday. I was totally prepared for screaming kids, profane language, nobody's clothes to stay on, things to get thrown, biting, licking, just general all around bad behavior. To my delight and surprise every single one of my students is virtually perfect! I mean, sure, a few are a little withdrawn or have speech issues, but they all do exactly what they're told, and are a lot of fun to be around and are well behaved =] I'm having the best week of camp I've ever had.

I painted my nails pacman last night while Skyping with Sharon. Yup. It's pretty awesome.

MOVING ON, LIKE, MONDAY! AH! =D I'm soooo excited! I just really cannot wait to go to my new house <3 Yet as ready and eager as I am, I'm kinda sad about it. I've lived here for 8 years. This has been home for 8 years. So many firsts, birthdays, graduations, holidays, parties, sleepovers, movie nights, bonfires, so much sweat put into making this place a comfortable environment. It's so strange to think that in a week, I wont even be here. The other times I've moved I never felt like this, but I'm older and have better comprehension of what it really means now. I'll adjust I'm sure.

Dance starting on monday! AH! YAY! so friggin' excited!  and this I'm actually ONLY excited about! no apprehension, no mixed feelings, just pure joy and excitement =] It's been far too long (3 weeks!) since Ive had a class, and I start pointe on monday!!! For now I'm going to pack some boxes, and try to come up with plans for tonight. w00t. peace out!
