I really hate it when people clap at the end of movies. It's so annoying.

Summer
It has been a REALLY long time since I've posted anything on here, and I'm sorry about that! The reason is that I just haven't had anything to talk about.
My summer has been extremely uneventful. I am still working at Applebee's (unfortunately), and I'm not making as much money as I need to before school. Next Thursday I will finally be done with my 8-week summer classes, and I couldn't be more excited! After that, I'll have an entire month to relax before I start school again. But I am so ready to go back to Manhattan.
Last weekend, my family and two other families (the Sharps and Moravacs) went camping at Pomona Lake, and it was so much fun!
Friday night, we just set up camp and hung out. When we inflated the air mattresses, one of them reeked of cat pee. In the past, one of our cats liked to sneak into the closet where we kept those things and the mattress smelled horrible, so Marissa and Katie slashed the bed with a knife. Guess who was supposed to sleep on that bed? Yeah. Marissa and I ended up on the ground.
Saturday was pretty much the best day ever. When we got up, our family had the job of making breakfast for everyone else, and it was great. Then, after a quick Wal-mart run, everyone went swimming in the lake, which was fantastic. The Sharps brought one of their wave runners, so after swimming, we went tubing. It was a blast, but I forgot just how much work it is hanging on to that thing and how much it hurts when you can't! I'm pretty sure we fell off about five times, but it was still great. When we were done tubing, Marissa, Katie and I went for a ride on the sea-do for at least an hour, and I've gotta say, my butt was hurting after that! Then, a bunch of us threw the football around for awhile. Marissa finally let me teach her how to throw the ball right. Pretty soon, we might even have her watching a game! Well...maybe not. The Moravacs made an amazing steak dinner that night, and we finished it all off with some s'mores. After everything I did on Saturday and after sleeping on the ground, I don't think my body has ever been as sore as it was on Sunday. I felt like I was about 85 years old and could barely walk.
At about 6:30 Sunday morning, we awoke to blistering winds and terrential rains. I'm surprised the tent could withstand it. Everything that had been left outside was scattered across the ground. We decided to go to breakfast until the weather calmed down. Exhausted, we returned to the campsite, quickly packed up and headed home. That first shower felt unbelieveable.
Overall, it was an amazing weekend, and I can't wait for our next camping trip in the fall.

It Was Nice While It Lasted
Well summer has officially come and gone. Tomorrow I start my two summer classes, so goodbye sleeping in and hanging out at the pool.
I got home from school a little over two weeks ago. I finished the year off well and today I found out that I made the Dean's List again. I went back to work at Applebee's and FINALLY trained to serve. I like serving much more than hosting and I am making more money. Last friday I went to Worlds Of Fun with a few of my high school friends and we had a blast, but I spent all the money I had made.
Besides all of this, I haven't been doing much. I am really really dreading going to summer school. I wish these last two weeks wouldn't have gone so fast. I kind of just want summer to end. I miss Manhattan.

Let's Just Pause For A Sec
Summer is officially here. I'm not quite used to it. I got home two days ago, and it kind of feels like I'm just here for a weekend visit. I also have this constant need to be doing something. I feel like I have homework or studying or some kind of work to do! But I don't. Weird. I guess that problem will be solved in two weeks when I start my summer classes. Yay. And I am going back to work on Monday. I'm serving this summer, so hopefully I will make more money than I have in the past because I am scary broke right now.
Finals week went pretty well. It was really stressful and extremely exhausting. I studied all day everyday, and it felt like my brain was slowly melting into soup. It got to the point where I wasn't even sure if I knew how to tie my shoes. I also found out that I talk to myself a lot more when I'm stressed and severely sleep deprived. It's a little strange. I get mad at myself and say mean things. If anyone was around me, they would think I have schizophrenia or something. Whatever. My tests were a little more difficult than I expected, but I think I still got A's. I'm just happy the semester is over.
I can't believe I'm done with my first year of college. It really is mind-blowing to think about. I graduated high school an entire year ago. And tomorrow, the next class is graduating! It's just so weird. I really wish time would slow down a bit, so I could really enjoy these next few years. Everything is just going a little too fast. Where is that darn pause button!?

And So It Begins
Tonight, I officially began my studying marathon for finals week. I will be living in the library for the next few days. It would probably be easier just to sleep there, but I don't think that's allowed. I should have started studying a few days ago, but I've been really busy this weekend.
Here's a recap:
On Friday, I went camping at Tuttle Creek with my roommates for next year and some of their friends. It seriously was the best time I've had all year and a great way to finish off the semester. Saturday, my dad and Carol came to take down my loft (that was a fun adventure) and take most of my stuff home, so that I don't have to. Hayley's parents did the same thing for her today, and now our room is as blah as it gets...it's a little depressing. But it's nice to have a bed on the ground again. Then today, my mom and Marissa spent the whole day here and we had a lot of fun shopping, eating, seeing a movie, and eating some more. By the way, happy Mother's Day to all the mamas out there. After they left, I immediately initiated StudyFest 2009.
I am just so ready for this semester to be over. It's a really weird situation, though. I don't want to have school anymore, but I really don't want to leave Manhattan. I also don't want to live in a dorm anymore, but it's kind of sad to leave the memories we made here. And I'll miss living with Hayley. It's strange to think that I will never live in Ford Hall again (not that I'll miss it). I already know this summer is going to suck big time. I wish I could just skip it and move into my apartment with my friends. I can't wait for that day to come.

My Fears
The theme for this post is pretty much my biggest fear ever (after cockroaches, of course): Spiders. I HATE THEM. Even though I'm legally an adult, when I see a spider I turn into a screaming, frantic child. I can't kill them either because I'm too scared to get that close. My parents have to do it for me. While this may not be a rational fear, I doubt it will ever subside (snakes, on the other hand, are awesome). And I think my sister may be even more scared of these creepy, crawly devils than I am.
Here are two videos about spiders for you to watch.
The first is just funny. You've probably seen it on Youtube already, but enjoy:

The second one is basically my most horrible nightmare come true. I had to close my eyes for part of it. Brace yourself:

Why Even Bother?
In my statistics class today, a guy answered his phone during the lecture. This is not a big class, only about 25 or 30 people, yet he sat there talking and laughing on his cell. It was so rude and obnoxious. Of course, my poor, little, Polish teacher is too quiet and insecure to have said anything. The same guy left class around 45 minutes early. I just don't get it. Why did he even bother coming at all? People like that really bug me. They take nothing seriously and have no ambition. They all could use a slap in the face to bring them into reality. And do their parents realize they're paying for their son/daughter to skip class and party all the time? I guess not.
