WHATS UP WORLD
Summer is honestly the best time of year, I have decided . This past week has been filled with some crazy times, and I can't wait to see whats in store next!!! In my free time , I downloaded some super cute fonts off of pinterest , made a timelapse video of me sketching some deep quotes , avoided reading huck finn (summer assignment) and learned to play wagon wheel & you and i on the ukelele . Food adventures part two has commenced , with meals at a variety of places including -- la gloria , zitos , taco c , central market , p terrys , a diner , panera, & the list goes on and on. One day , we went tubing on the comal river. The rapids are #thrilling and its actually really pretty out there . At dairy queen afterwards , I got a blizzard with the best ice cream to cookie dough ratio in the world . For the fourth of july , we went up to Austin with some family friends . They have fireworks right on lake austin , and I played around with a light trail app . I wish I could live in austin everywhere you go is so artsy and all the people seem to be a different type of cool . I ended up finishing Its Kind Of A Funny Story and LOVED it . As a review said , "it's a book about depression that's not the least bit depressing". When the main character goes to the hospital after a series of events , he meets a bunch of other quirky, crazy people who he develops cute relationships with . I loved reading about all the random characters and seeing how they interacted with each other . Ultimately , it sends the message that everyone is a little messed up , even if some hide it better than others , and if we embrace this fact we can start to really live again . The novel also really puts in perspective how the stress of school really has the ability to eat away at some people , and how important it is to understand that grades and ranks shouldn't be part of our budding identities -- something very important to remember as college looms!!! Speaking of school , our schedules came out and it looks like I have a lot of classes with friends and I am actually really pumped for junior year (except I don't feel like an upperclassmen but it's ok). Lots of my friends have returned from some awesome trips , but I also spent a day making care packages for some friends off at camp!!! Some of the things inside included -- food/candy(obvi) , princess tattoos and princess cups , socks , inner tubes , coloring books (we act five) , bubbles, silly string and chalk :). Today we walked around pearl , then went back to Hannah's to play a card game (which I lost at) and took some sweet videos with her GoPro . I'm about to go on a late night sonic run w my senior friend, Amy, so i'll post more soon!!
