Everything up to now

Goshh guys. It's been a while since my last personal "talking to my readers" post! I'll do my best to briefly catch everyone up!
IT'S SUMMAH TIME AND I'M SO THANKFUL!! I graduated high school on June 6th and it was a purely magical night! Everyone was so happy and excited and I got home at like 6am...hahahaha!
Anyway, I am working now almost full time at the YMCA, teaching lessons and loving it. No, I'm not kidding, I absolutely love love love my job. I get to work in a pool with little kids and awesome people and it's great! Except for the whole chlorine thing. :P
Uhmm, finishing up 12th grade turned out to be the longest couple of weeks my entire life! I ended my classes with decent grades, and I worked hard even through all the senioritis ;)
Now, I am looking forward to attending HAMLINE UNIVERSITY THIS FALL!! :) I am going to be a Piper! *note: It's funny because one of my best friend's name is Piper.
Tomorrow, I will leave for my World Affairs Seminar camp! I was chosen out of our High school class as the individual to represent Neenah High, at an international exchange leadership camp!
(I was granted a scholarship through our rotary club.)
I am excited, but nervous. I won't know anyone there, and it has been described to me as a "rigorous academic program". Great way to start off summer, huh!?
I will be gone for a week, but I'll be eager to return and enjoy 4th of July with all mis amigos! :)

Uhmmm what else. Oh, I've been getting lots of awesome music lately! I'm really kickin' up my summer playlist with some great stuff! Any suggestions are quite welcome!

Still so much happening, still just trying to breathe and enjoy the ride ;)
Keep breathing, beautiful people!

Quaint.

Don't be a saint.
Have an earthquake?
What a lake
for goodness sake.

Stop being so quaint.
You lazy piece of
cake.

What have I left to say?
Nothing more where you left
this ache.

Oh. These swollen days,
full of mischief and blank
stares.

Leave the past in a book,
lightly dusted with broken promises.
This message is no longer conforming
to the conformity theme.

So let me be,
in my own little quaint world.
With no history.
