the D rox my sox

Took my senior pictures today, down in the D, and I had a blast. I get the proofs on Monday. What is it today? Thursday??? I can't wait that long!!! We drove all over, and took pictures at all these different locations and I wore all my sweetest clothes. I waded through fountains and climbed on buildings, and sat down basically in the middle of streets...I also brought Mel along so she could take some and be in some of mine, since we are basically extentions of eachother. Her main shoot is in August, and I get to come along on that one and take even MORE pictures!!! She is getting hers done in Dearborn so we'll have really different backgrounds.

To occupy myself while I am waiting for my proofs, I am crocheting a skirt. I am so very excited about it, I can hardly contain myself. It is my first big crochet project. I have been working on it since around my birthday, and now I am finally almost done!

On Tuesday I am leaveing to go to Harbor Springs for a week, as I do every year for the 4th. I won't miss it here, and there will be only one thing, or person rather, that will keep me from staying there the rest of the summer, or the rest of my life.

yeah

So, it's been a while. So what?

School, or as i like to call it, the required waste-of-time-hell-hole of death, is finally and completely out for summer. Going on two weeks now. Let us take a moment of silent rejoicing.

*silently rejoices*

Sigh. I have quickly sunk into my summer routine, but of course with a few changes from previous summers. Basically my days go as thus:

*stay up reading untill the birds start chirping (4:30) or until the sky goes from black to blue (5:30)
*get some sleep
*wake up no later than 11 (this is where i stray from past summers, where i usually rolled out of bed at around 1)
*stumble down stairs for a bite to eat, then proceed to lay on the couch and finish reading the book i started the night before. (I have read four books so far, at this rate, my stash is going to run out, egads!)
*get a call from someone, or make the call myself to make plans for the night
*get dressed. the day starts at 5 'o clock
*stay out late
*shower, pick out a new book, and the process starts over

Throw in some movies, food, and ice cream, and that is the beggining phase of my summer in a nutshell.

But then the trips start. More on that later.

~~~CHANGE OF SUBJECT~~~

Got my report card today in the mail. They should'nt waste the postage, becuase it isn't like I care about grades. I don't study, I don't try, and I don't care. I want to care sometimes...I am just inncapable of caring about a label that society chooses to stamp on people's heads. I live in an age where a persons worth is measured by GPA as an adolescent and by monetary value as an adult. On top of that, you get judged by the way you look. I absolutly depise this system. But I play the game. You have to play the game in order to acheive the status where people finally leave you alone just enough so you can do what you want with your life. But first you have to play the game. The higher-education-I-have-a-purpose-in-life game. Pass the classes. Play the sports. Know the right people. So I play. As minimally as I can, but still I play. Hoping like anything that society progresses as fast as it has in the last few decades and people can finally forget about the man-made drama, and just live. Just wake up when you want to, put on the clothes that make you FEEL good, talk and be with the people you like and just live and be like God wanted us to in the first place. Shed all the smog and pollution we have created and just eat and live...crap. I'm starting to sound to much like a hippy. Need to avoid that. Hippies don't shower...I, personally, am very fond of being clean. It's just a quirk of mine I guess...
