I really hate it when people clap at the end of movies. It's so annoying.
Newsflash people: They CAN'T HEAR YOU.

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.
