It's all over the place.

Ever since I've been home, I have:
-cleaned my room
-rid my room of tons of stuff that I've lived without for a year and can probably live without for the rest of my life
-unpacked
-cleaned out my closet (still in process)
-rid my closet of clothes that I don't need
-done endless laundry and dishes
-spent forever getting the lawn mower to work correctly
-mowed for hours on end (which I like!)
-pulled tons of weeds
-planted some random plants
-cleaned house for the several random guests we've had recently
-cooked lots of stuff
-made gallons of iced tea
-done grocery shopping
-looked around for jobs
-signed up for summer school at SBU
-hung out with friends in the evening
-said goodbye to friends that will be gone for the summer/part of the summer
-moved an old lady's stuff out from Parkview

Since last August, I have crossed the border into Missouri fourteen times, Tennessee nine times, Alabama nine times, Arkansas seven times, Kansas seven times, Mississippi six times, Kentucky three times, Illinois three times, Texas twice, Florida once, and Georgia once. That's more than 6,500 miles. Whew.
I am going to sleep.
Ready, set, go.

It's a good place to be. Life is good.

Now for some random statements...
I am halfway done with college.
High school already seems like a long time ago.
It was really weird to say goodbye to people at Samford considering I will likely never see them again. I said a lot of awkward "Have a good life!"s. Driving away was so bittersweet.
It was the best drive of the 10 times I've done it. It was warm, sunny, and it never rained. It has rained 8 out of the 10 times I've driven it.
I still have unpacking to do. It's a process. I secretly enjoy it.
I am going to Edisto Island, SC in less than a month. Really lookin' forward to it. Belmont orientation on the way back.
I'm going to Towering Traditions (welcome week) at Belmont even though I'll be a junior. I figure it'll be a good way to meet people.
I'd like a job, but not many places are employing at the mo'.
I like/love my friends.
It's a good day in the [my] neighborhood.

Done with Classes
Hallelujah!
I only have two finals: one at 8:00 AM on Wednesday the 13th and one at 8:00 AM on Thursday the 14th, after which I will hop in my car and drive home. So, I basically have a four-day weekend until the final on Wednesday. Normally I would totally welcome a four-day weekend, but this one will test my last bit of patience. I might go insane. I'm already bored out of my mind. I just don't really have much to do besides study a bit and pack up my stuff (which I've already done quite a bit of).
This afternoon I was so bored that I went into Paint, made kooky drawings/paintings, saved them as jpeg files, and then edited them with Picnik. As geeky as it was, it was kind of fun.
The other night I was in such a good mood that I had trouble getting to sleep. It was weird...and awesome...and even though I only ended up getting three or four hours of sleep, I wasn't tired at all the next day.
So apparently Bolivar has been stricken by a tornado...? My mom said our trampoline flew away...until it smacked into one of our gutters. No more stargazing on the trampoline. Bummer.
Life is good, nonetheless.
