after a summer of flip-flops, tennis shoes feel very strange and confining.

I am all moved in and settled in East.  At first I was extremely disappointed in this dorm, but now that I've gotten all of my stuff in it and whatnot, I'm happy.  However, it is very weird to be walking around campus and not go back to White.  It's been making me feel strangely nostalgic. 

I have had the most "happening" summer of my life, and yet I've still felt like there's nothing interesting for me to blog about.  Idk.  I haven't been doing a ton of really fun things.  No partying.  Mostly working, hanging out with Jacob and Leanna, and working on my portfolio.  I have become a real artist, I think.  Jacob and I are currently at the beach, and I feel like I'm falling in love with him all over again.  I made a new friend.  Sort of.  Joey's girlfriend, Megan.  I knew her before, but we've been hanging out a good bit.

I miss my college friends though.  Hopefully I can see them soon!  (AT COLLEGE)

That is something I am extremely excited about.  I get to go back!  And I have a 23-year-old roommate from The Netherlands!  It's going to be weird having Jacob exactly one room below me, but I am excited for this extreme change.  I'm thinking about double majoring in Graphic Design and Psychology.  I know, it's a little crazy.  But I can do it.  I would be dropping my Religious Studies major.  Which is OK by me, now that I have changed my religious views and goals.

I also got a new car.  About the same time that Caity's similar car got smashed into.  I hope her's is fixable.

I've been working at a Baptist youth group in High Point.  It's actually sent in me in the total opposite direction in nearly every way possible.  But it was definitely a good experience.  All-in-all, I have had a relatively great few months, and am now extremely ready to get on with my life.

I'm feeling very frustrated with my parents.  They don't seem to get it...I'm grown.  I can't wait to move back to App in ONE MONTH.  I am expecting it to be the best thing ever.  I just have to make it through 4 more weeks....luckily, my parents will be gone 1 of those weeks, and I'll be at the beach one of them.

I just wish that they would try to understand.  And respect that we are different people.  I care about things that they don't care about, and I don't care about some things that they care about.  That's OK; that's what makes people different.  But apparently I'm just going to have to keep pretending for another 32 days.

ALSO, I'll be 19 in 6 days!  I don't think I'm doing anything exciting, but still...it's one step closer to being out of here for good.

I haven't done much of anything today.  I had been feeling rough, but after a short nap I'm feeling better.  I'm having a relatively good summer, but I am very ready to be back at App.  I'll be back there 2 months from yesterday.  Seems like a long time.
