Halfway Through Summer


For the majority of my life my birthday has marked summer's conclusion. Now that I'm a big-girl who goes to college that isn't the case, especially since Ohio State's the university of choice. Classes start September 23rd I think-about two months away! I'm counting down the days til football games, falafel on High Street, technique class every morning, a gym to work out in (although the exercise ball has been pretty efficient), church-going, independence and most of all PHIL!

He came down a few days ago from Columbus and took me to out to lunch and the Newport Aquarium. I don't know why I love going there so much. Maybe it's the mass displays. Walking under hundreds of gallons of water is pretty awesome. Not to mention the company was great. (I'm talking about my boyfriend, not the dozens of fish I encountered) After our marine pseduo-adventure, we celebrated my nineteen years with my family at home.

It's great to be with somebody so caring and considerate. I never felt the least bit awkward spending time with my boyfriend and the rest of my family together that day. We're all kooks, really so there wasn't any reason we won't get along.

Right now I'm still working on getting my drivers license. I've been taking driver's ed. classes in hopes to relieve my driving anxiety. All of the information that I've received certainly has been helpful, but not so much the gory videos about drunk drivers. Nevertheless, in three more classes I begin behind the wheel lessons. I'm crossing my fingers that I'll be able to drive before I leave for school!

I'm very grateful that my parents support me the way they do; driving me to dance lessons still, feeding me, and allowing me to live under their roof. I'm also very grateful that I will regain my independence soon-living at home sure puts a damper on that!
