I hate the end of summer...but I love my laptop!

Grrrrrr...summer is slowly winding down. Before I forget, a list of things I have to do before school starts:

--Spanish Homework
--driver's training/learning how to drive
--work more on Stanford application
--fill out more scholarship forms
--get MUN issues ironed out
--RELAX!!!

Yeah...all of that is really bugging me, because I don't want to do anything and yet it's all slowly catching up with me. I really need to do that Spanish homework. Has anyone started yet? *hopes she's not the only one behind*

But, in better news, my new laptop arrived today! In fact, I'm typing this on it, while sitting on my couch. I'd always been planning on getting a laptop before I went off to college, and it just seemed like one would be useful this year...so I used some of my "college money" (not really, it's complicated) and bought one. It's an HP dv1000t, if that means anything to anyone. Smaller, lightweight, with a couple cool add-ons like a built-in webcam and a DVD burner. Muahahaha.

So, what have I been doing with my summer? Well, I'm not completely sure. Hanging out with Rick a lot, which has been wonderful. Yesterday I tie-dyed shirts, and I think they turned out rather well -- at least, mine did. (Luke, I'll post a picture later if I find time.) Corinne doesn't like hers as much, but I think they're okay.

I've been helping out at my church nursery every Sunday for community service hours. Been doing that for the past three weeks, and it's kinda nice.

Um...not much to say. There's some MUN drama going on (when isn't there?) but I'm working toward a solution. I hope that it all ends well...

I think I'm a little stressed in the "the end of summer is near" sort of way. I'm just really out of it, I feel kinda funny...am I the only one?

I dunno. I'm gonna stop with the rambling and go do something productive for a change.

Heh, I don't know where mine is...but I'm pretty sure it's somewhere in the pile of crap on my desk. :)

If school doesn't work out, you can always come live on the farm. Why not?

I'm impressed by the scrolliness of your answer. Gold star for Richard!

I think you officially win the award for person who stresses out about school the most earliest in the summer. You amaze me.

Also: One of the Google Maps results for "On My Couch" is just south of LA.

Heh, I don't think I *quite* win that award...though I did have a nightmare last night about not being able to find all my classes...
