    Wow. It was been quite awhile since I last wrote anything.

    Well, nothing much has been going on.  Oh, the typicals of summer, really. Lounging about, read, swimming, and playing video games.  The greenhouse is closed for the season and I really need to be looking for a new job, sigh. Been eagerly anticipating July and all the Potterness that it will bring. Nothing really stands out, my life has become a blur of nothingness, kind of. Hmm... Oh! Suppose, an interesting thing that did occur is I went camping with Aimee and Elliott, completely spur of the moment, we ended up cooking veggie burgers, sitting up and chatting, tenting it up, and then returning back home the next day, it was a nice break from things.

    Andrew's birthday was also amazing, I purchased him Trauma Center: Second Opinion for the Wii, and he seems to be loving it.  He also ended up getting a kitten from his parents, we went to the Humane Society to pick one out and settled on a black, long-haired kitten. He is named Simon Belmont, he is roughly 8 - 9 weeks old, we had to get him fixed before we brought him home and then he was fighting off a virus of some sort-- but he seems to be doing fine, he is friendly, a trouble maker and insists on sleeping with us every night, haha. Oh! And he loves video games, in particular Phoenix Wright Ace Attorney, which I've fallen obsessed with.  Simon is truly an Andrew cat :D

    Tonight is orientation for OU, how exciting.  I am nervous.  Andrew and Garrett signed up for the same day, so we are all journeying there around 4:30 today. I am eager to register for classes, find out what OU is apparently all about and hopefully, work towards my degree that will hopefully land me a "real job".
 
    This weekend is also Angel's wedding, am very excited.  Carpooling with Aimee, hopefully we don't get lost. I think it'll be an amazing wedding and I'm sure, Angel will look beautiful. But, I feel antsy and thus, must be off.

    Yep, those are the five words and I shan't go into detail about them at all. Just moving on along.  Life has been going on, working long days and then randomly drinking bottles of champagne on my nights off to sleep well and awake slightly queasy. Realizing that most of the television shows I got into a habit of watching are done with, which means more time  dedicated to books and movies as I want to see a few.  The other day I saw Pans Labyrinth, and I loved it.  I think Andrew wants to see Apocolypto and John Rambo, haha. Still, looking forward to some movie viewing fun.
    Bought a new dress yesterday and I absolutely love it. 
    Today is orientation at OU and I am nervous, but I get to find out whether or not I want to go for an English degree or what have you and I get to register for classes, which is exciting.  Finally got Andrew to agree to go with me, as he will use the time to possibly explore the campus and study his calculus, the class that reaffirms my distrust of math.  I am excited about OU in the fall, it is always nice to  begin a new chapter in ones life, something about progress I am sure.  Nervous, anxious, but generally speaking excited and eager. 
    This summer will call for: Angel's wedding, Harry Potter, and well... those are the main events I am looking forward to. June 23rd, wowza for Angel's wedding, another event that I am strangely anxious but mostly eager for.  Harry Potter should be self explanatory, book 7 and movie 5, am rereading OoTP followed by HBP. And then rereading The World According to Garp, because I love that book and finally got it back.
      Well.... I am off to do something.

I am slowly moving to a new chapter in my life, hopefully.  Today I applied for OU and also requested that OCC send my transcript that way, how exciting.  I am rather stumped on what I do wish to major in, in the application I stated English but I am honestly torn between english and a degree focused on International Relations.  I feel as if I ought to be past this step in my life, plenty of people my age and younger are but on the same token, plenty aren't.  At least, these past few years I have been attending OCC and working towards some sort of goal.  I've learned a lot, experienced amazing teachers.  I must say, nearly all of my favorite teachers taught at OCC and I am thankful that I had decided to attend there first, as opposed to plunging into OU.  'Nuff of this though...

I am very nervous.  My grades are decent, I have a 3.2... but starting a new chapter is always nerve-wrecking and then the fear of being unable to pay for everything, the loans that will be stacking up quickly, the burden this will put on my bank account.  School is expensive and I have no clue what sort of career I want.  Growing up, huh.

Oh well.  Today, I am proud of myself.  I had feared I'd get in my own way, procrasinate until it was too late to apply and get accepted for the fall, thereby forcing another semester or year at OCC, with an abundant excuses as to why I'm still there.  I am glad I didn't get sucked into that vicious cycle, proud of myself maybe. I am starting to take initiative, fighting my anxieties and insecurities. Yeah.  I plan for this year to be one of growth, trying new things, challenging myself, and not allowing myself to get in the way of, well, myself.  It'll take effort, but I need to do this.  Hopefully, I continue to feel and think this way, hopefully this isn't fleeting, and hopefully I keep ontop of myself.

I gotta push and push. 

Mosltly though, I am nervous and exciting.  New chapters, new beginnings, new endings.  Hopefully this fall, I will be nervously walking around a new campus, yees.

Two entries in one day, heh.. I really want to talk to someone, I guess.  Typing to myself or strangers is the next best thing.
