surfin' safari.

You know, it's funny how every time I get "inspired" to make a blog, I lose interest within a couple of weeks. I'm trying to make an effort sharing stuff, but only visit this when I'm unoccupied like right now. Blogs are pointless really. eh. I don't care. :)

15 glorious days left and counting :) It's cram time in most of my classes, and it's pretty noticable. I come home every night with tons of homework and stupid assignments that aren't even relevant to the class, but what are you gonna do? :P I have 0/100 questions done on my Earth Science project. It will be the death of me. Why is Mrs. Glor such a terrible person? anyways...last week at this time I was at work, which I love!, and I had just taken the World History AP Exam a few hours previous to work. The test was fairly easy. I'd say I got a low 4, I can only hope. haha. Friday came. All I can remember was that it was a glorious day and we had an ROTC picnic outside, complete with rockwall, speedracer, and reps from the Army and Air Force :) It was great. Saturday I slept over Marisa's for Chelsea's Birthday. My baby girl's 16! and from Sunday until now, my week was a blur, except work.

Tonight, I have plans to hang out with Derek and Berg in Lewiston. It seems like it's been so long since it's been just "us" and I kind of miss Berg. She can be annoying as hell sometimes, but I love her so much. We plan to get chinese food and maybe we can go down to the docks while eating Hibbard's and watching the sunset. Summer is finally here and I am SO ready to own it.

Speaking of summer...Europe anyone? My host family has been found! They live in Germany and I should be recieving their profile in a few weeks! That tops the bill off at 5 (technically 6) countries! Every time I even think about that trip, it makes me want to wet my pants. I am so grateful for all the opportunities I have been blessed with. This trip means the world to me!
