holy potato it's almost summer

Summer is the time of change for the better. Re-invention. Discovering new things. Uncovering old things. Remaking things. I've always viewed every summer as a new start. That's why it's so magical. The sea-tang lends a new, exciting perspective to the world. It's time to be free.

Around this time last summer, I was into transcendentalist philosophy. I had really long and unstyled hair. Wore boy's shorts or board shorts and t-shirts. I had a bikini that I wasn't really confident enough to wear so I wore a solid one-piece blue bathing suit all summer. Was undecided about whether or not I should invest into becoming a revolutionary which was, m'dears, rather confusing. Wanted to write something like Walden. Celebrated Midsummer Eve improvisationally (lantern instead of fire, backyard instead of enchanted glade, etc.).

This time this summer, I'm into finding my very own philosophy & beliefs. Will be cutting my hair slightly shorter with layers so that it is not so weighty and annoying-like. Have gotten a collection of pretty, light skirts to wear all summer and shirts to match in lovely colors. Want to buy a two-piece bathing suit with a halter top, but one that does not show a lot of skin - not a bikini - with a vibrant pattern. Have decided I would rather be a happy make-the-world-better, upbeat gal with a unique and optimistic message than a doomsday, naysaying, cynical revolutionary. Want to write something like I Capture the Castle. Am learning to care about things in the right way.

But before summer can happen, I have to take four more finals. I got a 90 on my math exam today. There is not another hard test until Thursday, which is Chemistry. Then school gets out at 10:45 AM and SUMMER HAPPENS. Glorygloryalleluia!!!!!! YESSS. :D
