Currently Listening Fall and Winter By Jon Foreman see related

it seems that summer is upon us, and i havent even had time to make a "what im going to do over the summer" list! i must have been really busy with school work, or otherwise preoccupied in the world in my head. so i have survived supposedly, the hardest year of high school without any major scars, but the question is, have i merely survived it, or have i prevailed over it (Faulkner's Nobel Prize exceptance speech)? i guess it depends on what i will consider makes a year successful, and if i didnt get pushed around too much by bad influences and trends. also, it depends on how often i stopped and appreciated and enjoyed things that i had while i had them... which i admit i did not do too much of. But hey, i think i can say i tried my best this time around, and time goes on bringing with it blessed second chances!

this summer id love dearly to:

read =D
work at starbucks
sleep whenever i want to (actually, develop good living habits)
volunteer at the library
get better at basketball
go jogging
draw
go to schlitterbahn
have movie marathons with friends
watch all the cool library movies
go for bike rides
sew a quilt
make some graphic designs
start the ipod case charity business
watch Death Note, Inuyasha, and Ghost in the Shell SAC 2
swim occasionally even though vincent hates swimming
actually do quiet times!!
do stuff with the dgroup =)

ive already thought of all these when it was still school time, but something about lists makes daily life more dramatic and important, haha. so yea, pretty exciting. im starting to feel hot and muggy already though x0. no big vacations, i think, but hopefully the little things can hold me over, and i wont be too bored or restless. just relaax. oh yea and i have to purge my room of all the junior year junk, which should take hours and hours of back breaking labor.
