In an effort to relieve myself from the constant stress of school and as an act of liberation, I’m going on a cross-country road trip. Although, to be honest, I’m not exactly sure how “cross-country” it’ll be, the actual destination is undecided, and will be, until we get there. The plan is just to drive until we get as far as we want to go, camp out in my car, and on the drive back, we can’t use the same route.

I plan to take my laptop with me so I can do some blogging on the road, although I imagine I will be doing much of the driving.

I’ll keep you updated, but the trip is planned around the New Year, close to my birthday. But right now, I’m making a road trip playlist for us, do you recommend any songs?

I added a new class to the five I’m already taking: Intro to Sociology. My adviser recommended it since it was an easy class, but from reading the grades on Grade My Professor, it doesn’t look that easy. But I don’t want to just have a class I can just sit in and get a good grade. I want to actually work for it. I’ll be getting up bright and early Monday through Friday now, having three classes everyday, including my Elementary Italian I night class.

I am going to have to take a class at Southwest Community College since it isn’t offered at the University, an Intermediate Algebra course (which I’ve never claimed to be good at *frowny face*). Thank God I only need one math credit!

In other news, I have been working on four designs for Dinstuhl’s, a candy company here in Memphis, which has taken up a bit of my time, and then next weekend, on the 28th, I’m heading off to Dallas, TX to see my family! Oh, and go to Six Flags. Oh, and bungee jump. Oh, and Medieval Times. (I am bringing my laptop, however — so you won’t be entirely rid of me. Hey! Stop crying!)

There was this awesome Gay (Ben Lerman’s his name, definitely check out his songs!) who sang at the Java Cabana the other day — Hannah, Charles, Ethan, and I went to go hang out and just check out the entertainment. He was hilarious! The name of his tour is Ukelear Meltdown, since he plays the ukulele. Well, he told us about the theme and wanted to get pictures of us in his straightjacket. Being the faghag that I am, I cannot resist a request from a Gay.

Here I am, in all my crazed glory. Hannah, Charles, and Ethan got one in too.

It’s already June, and God, the years are beginning to go by really fast. Summer always reminds me of parties, playing vidya games, and staying up all night for days at a time, either coding or just lounging around the house. I wasn’t able to do that last year because of my job (cough, sucked) and then-boyfriend (cough, sucked too). This year, unfortch, I will also not be able to do this. I have dedicated my summer to my better, gay half, since he will be a senior in high school next year and I will be a freshman in college, unable to hang out with him because of conflicting schedules.

I try to remember what else summer has brought to me, and I remember that my parents used to barbecue a lot. I also remember swimming at Mum’s friend’s house, playing with her daughter; the trips to Texas, Arkansas, and Florida, to visit family members and Mickey Mouse in Disney World (learning that the best thing in the world is a water ride on a 110 degree day); makeshift relief from sprinklers in your front yard; hating how the grass felt sticky when I sat on it; and riding my bike on a mini-city made from chalk…

What does summer remind you of?

Wow! I’m sorry for being gone so long, the month of May has been terribly busy. I went to prom on May 8th, which was pretty freaking sweet. I got to come down the staircase and they announced my name since I was a senior.
