Ok, so someone needs to give me another weekend. I was completely robbed of mine this week. No bueno. But you know what? It wasn't all that bad. First thing's first. I finally got the PRAXIS over with. Regardless of how I did (I think I did well) and regardless of how long it was (excruciating pain, really) it is over and done with. It completely like knocked the wind out of me for the weekend because it threw things into such a whack. However, many nice things came out of it. For instance, the day before, Katie, Skylar, Lilly and I went down for a nice little morning at the Colonel Beatty. Hell yes it was hot, but hell yes it was freaking awesome. I really love being on trails, in nature, getting a grosser Chaco tan, and being with some of my favorite girls in the world. That day was going to be set aside for more studying but it wound up being a very fun and relaxing day. Saturday after the test i came back to Dakota only to find like a thousand "good luck", "kick ass", and "you're going to do fine!" texts from many wonderful friends. That def made me feel a thousand times better. I even got to have a conversation with Betty via text! After worth, my amazing friend of a roommate took me out to lunch at this incredible new place by Blakeney. Heavenly food, visit NEWKS! That was very nice. I passed out that afternoon and just hung around the house/going shopping after that. Unfortunately I haven't been feeling well either, but it has been a good way for me and Harry to catch up some. I am now on the 4th book! WAHOO! Despite reading, drinking gatorade, skyping with amazing people, feeling crappy and catching up I've been thinking about how funny it is that it really just is the simple and tiny things in life that matter. The acts of kindness...the words...hugs...effort...etc. With being at the park out in nature just simply laughing, enjoying the sun and watching cute little girls it really just reminded me what summer is really about. Being able to talk to Betty via text was so interesting to me because I never noticed just how lucky we are to be able to text. Mailmen are crack heads, but besides that. Kathryn's lunch date and just being so interested in my PRAXIS and just catching up was just so cute.
Here comes the last week of July. It's funny to think how different it was last year. I was doing the chair project with Olivia last year in art and the weather wasn't scalding. Speaking of, I will be going to Boone this week! This has been the longest I've been away from Boone ever and it'll be so nice to be back up there and enjoy the weather. I really think this week is going to be great for more reasons than one. (I think the day-cation with Em and Lauren will happen this Saturday!!!!!) (Oh, and Brittany and I will have lunch sometime this week!YES!) So, I'll def be sending July off with a smile.
