#7

Yesterday my Mom, Anna and I all went to the beach for the day.
Upon our arrival at the beach I began feeling tired and dehydrated.
I decided to avoid the sun and hid under the umberella relaxing for most of the time.
In retrospect, that couldn't have been a better idea for my sister and mother are sunburned.
I, however, am modeling a lovely tan with no burn.

This past week I finally got around to cleaning our room.
Our as in Anna and I's room.
Unfortunately the bunk bed set up we have in our room took up the entire bedroom.
My step dad Bruce helped take it apart, and we now have two seperate beds on opposite sides of the room. S p a c e. Thank god I can breathe again.

I've been doing a lot of organizing the past few days and throwing things out that I no longer need, no more clutter. Although the brief makeover has satisfied me for now, I must say I'm no longer into these lime green and hot pink walls that once suited me. I'm not just not feelin' it anymore. It's so loud and I'm ready to settle down with a nice neutral color. Ahaha, and here I thought I'd have these colored walls for the rest of my life.
I'm definietly ready for something more mature.
This includes the 5 year old ripped Hawaiian comforter on my bed. Possibly getting a new comforter very soon.

As much as I love summer, I'm so excited for fall.
I'm ready to get this school year started and finished, I'm ready to graduate.
Starting school means one step closer to graduating, which means one step closer to being on my own. I can't wait to go to college and provide for myself and work on my career and live in an apartment or dorm that I share with someone my age, and not a younger sister who is not even twelve yet. I'm just so ready to be on my own. I'm excited for my life.

And while my mind is on the future and being on my own.
I'm proud to say Jake has helped me set up a plan for saving and I've already started it.
I'm working hard, when I'm working anyways.
Unfortunately there are one too many, er, five too many, servers resulting in everyone begging to take each others shifts.
Not to mention, I hate working there and the thought of actually wanting to pick up more shifts because I'm not making enough money makes me sick.
I applied to Starbucks and I'm really hoping they'll hire me.
Please hire me, please please please.

my room is a bright blue, an aqua color that was me 2 years ago. even though it's a short time, i've come to find that, I never spend time in my room. What's supposed to be a sanctuary for a teenager, to hide, to relax, is the place i avoid, other than for sleep. I can entirely relate to you on this.

I miss you ashley, and always hope you're doing well.

oh and p.s. 7 things is my guilty pleasure, i hate that i enjoy the song, haha but i doooo! eeek.
