Hello. An intermission from my story-telling of my outrageous summer vacation trip to announce that school is back in session tomorrow! I will now go over my summer resolutions, and how I've done with them, as well as some other things.
1. Keep my room as clean as possible. Uhhmmm.... yeah this was difficult. Even after the whole redecorating of my room. I thought it'd be difficult to make my room messy with my new queen sized bed taking up most of the floor space, but lo and behold, mess can still be made. I'm still working on cleaning my room fragments at a time.
2. Read more!!! Hm, well I only got to reading my summer read books. I haven't gotten much a chance to do pleasure reading this summer, besides fanfiction... heh. I definitely did read a hefty amount of fanfics. Not entirely want I originally meant when I made this resolutions but... I'll take it.
3. Use less computer time. Oh, well... yeah this didn't happen.
4. Drink more water! Oh geez, I am just a bundle of disappointments.
Okay, so didn't really accomplish much of what I wanted to do when this summer began, bu that's okay. I still think of this summer to be one of the greatest. I was able to visit six different states in roughly two weeks! I've been in New Jersey (of course), California, Nevada, wherever the Grand Canyon is, Washington state, and Virginia. I've gotten to spend much of my time reuniting with friends and family. I feel like I've gotten closer to my sister, who I previously wasn't too fond of.
In addition, I got a new iPhone. I got the iPhone 5S, which is pretty neato. Since I've gotten it, I stopped using my iPod. Not using up all the data is worrying me though. Hopefully I don't go overboard. This is my first time having a smartphone.
Also, the summer read book I've had to read, The Jungle by Upton Sinclair and Fast Food Nation by Eric Schlosser has truly changed my perspective on things.
I've made an agreement with my friends that if I eat fast food, I have to do some punishments. Already, I have to endure three. The first two I've finished. 12 hours without internet, and the reading aloud a fanfic of my NoTP (Mycroft and Sherlock. BLEHHH.) Here's a picture of me reading the horror.
The one I have yet to do is listen to Rebecca Black's Friday on repeat for 24 hours, not including sleeping time. I think I'll start this after school on Friday.
So yeah, Fast Food Nation has ruined fast food for me, and I do not want to be eating all those LIES anymore.
Also over this summer, I've gotten to spend some good times with my friends! I'm so happy that GISHWHES brought all of us together last summer. Seriously, I would not be as happy as I am right now if it weren't for them. They supply my daily need of social interaction. Everyday we chat together on facebook, and some days we get to all hang out together! Lemme recount... we went to Rosa's Sweet Sixteen (which I didn't write about, sorry Rosa), and then we spent the 4th of July together. We played True American, the best game ever. I surprised everyone with the Nerd Herd Olympics. Some of us worked on our summer math packet together. Also, almost all of us played Cards Against Humanity Charades for hours one day. Last night, Bailey and I had just plotted some great video ideas for Shows Before Bros! It was a good summer for the Nerd Herd, however, I do sort of wish we spent more time together in person. We're close... but not entirely close. Since most of us are starting to drive, I think it'll be very possible that we may be able to hang out more this upcoming school year, because not having a ride was a constant issue. Now we could probably find a hang out area, sort of like in FRIENDS, or How I Met Your Mother, or That 70's Show. I think it'd be fab if we were able to have a 'usual hangout'. Right now, it's sorta Bailey's dad's house.
So... that is an overview of my summer!
Thank you for reading.
