Whoa there....4 AP classes this year...you think this kid can deal?

You better run before you fall for me.

Sunsets and sunrises. Beautiful. Juss...beautiful. I always say that I'm going to draw/sketch it but even if I have the paper and pencil next to me, I'm so absorbed in its natural beauty to do so.

I have "Now and Forever" by Richard Marx and "Hands to Heaven" by Breathe stuck in my head.

I need to go visit La Jolla Cove sometime.....during sunset, haha.

What is it about rain that I find so soothing? Maybe its the fact that it hardly ever rains in southern Cali that I've never taken it for granted? People say that it looks so gloomy when it rains but for some reason, I don't feel that way. To me, the cloudy sky isn't gloomy its juss...lounged out. And I love walking in the rain. Its not annoying to me at all. The raindrops are like a very subtle, very light massage. I don't know why, but I find comfort in the water.

So...Vegas, right? That's what you wanna hear about? I'll give you the abridged version, haha. Well, despite having to watch my niece and nephews with my cousin most of the time, it was still fun. There was a lot of walking, but that was to be expected. There's no way we're going to be driving around all over the place with crazy drivers and crazy pedestrians, haha. The only downside was walking around during the day. Hot dayum!
So we spent most of the time at Circus, Circus at the Adventure Dome. I was going to hit up the midway and win some stuffed animals to give away, but my nephews dragged me to ride after ride, haha. I met another Rachel, another Trinh and another Dana along the way so I guess it wasn't that bad, haha.
Then it was back to my newphew's room at the Flamingo to gather our trunks and lounge out at the pool. Good stuff. Met another Tammy, haha.
That evening we juss walked around to all the big name hotels and took mad pictures so that we could all brag about staying at the Bellagio and whatnot. It was almost 1, so I trilled back to my room at the Paris and shlep.
Yup, that was about it, haha.

I spent a lot of time today thinking about school. Time is flying by so fast. I'm already an upperclassmen. Its scaring me how quickly its all going. Its all juss been a blur. It seriously hasn't felt that long. I thought about all the classes I've had and all the people I know and known, my last real relationship and all the flings that followed thereafter. No, it wasn't a sad reminiscing, but a joyous one. Even if they were juss flings I couldn't help but feel happy. Its all in those moments in the moonlight when you look at them and their smiles are more radiant than the lunar moon. When you know that even with the little time you two have spent togetheer, you've made a change in her for the better.
I realized how much I take all my friendships for granted. I recently juss realized how many hey's, hi's and what's up's I got on a daily basis when I walked down the hall the past few years.
I find myself excited about the upcoming schoolyear. Strange, I know. But I miss seeing everyone everyday and making people laugh while creating a grip of inside jokes. But what I really miss is that feeling that you get when you meet that new potential someone. You get that glint in your eyes like a kid who's received the biggest present on his birthday and you juss can't wait to open that present and see what treasure lays inside.

So long sweet summer. I stumbled upon you and gratefully basked in your rest. This last week is going to be crunch time as I'll be finishing off summer AP packets and art projects. But hey, its all good. Like I've said many times this summer, this'll be the year of OoOoWeE, believe me. Nonstop smiles and no stress to everyone around me.

See you when you get there.

Docking out...
