why this summer is going to be splendid in every way

so i'm going against everything that naturally tells me i shouldn't stay up and write a blog post at 2 in the morning, just because i can.
tonight i realized something.
well i few things, really. but mostly i have been the most relaxed i've been in a while. like actually a long time. i didn't really realize it until someone with a wonderful sense on discernment informed me that it was so nice to finally see me relaxed. and i really am. i could cry i'm so excited about it too. i guess i never realized it until it was finally over that junior year was harder than i ever expected but easier than i expected it to feel. not that that makes any sense. all the same, it's over. like over, over. there's no repeating courses. no summer school. there is no way anyone can make me repeat that ever again. and yes, my education probably will get harder one day, but i can make it through. i know that much. anyway, moral to the story is: on this day, the first day of one beautiful, amazing, and ground-breaking summer, my life is beginning. you know how everyone always says "today is the first day of the rest of my life"? well, it is. and i can do what i want with today, tomorrow, and the next day. thank GOD that God is actually in control, though. He's no puppeteer, but i'm really glad i'm not the one doing the steering, you know?
but anyway, you might be wondering what happened today that made today so special and beautiful, aren't you? well, i'll tell you.
1. sleeping until noon.
this generally goes without saying, but everyone knows that it is one of the most important statutes for a fantastic summer that, at least twice a week, you must sleep until noon. the good news is i don't plan on doing so more than twice a week, because when i do so, i wake up feeling like i've wasted half my day and gained at least a pound of sleep-fat. oh, the instinct of a lamper.
2. getting my phone back.
so i've been grounded for like way too many days is all i know. i guess it hasn't been that many, but it's been enough to make me cringe. and enough to make me miss some of the wonderful people in my life who i am lucky enough to be able to contact on a daily basis, with the help of technology of course.
3. watching trashy movies with my best friend.
so we rented the ugly truth. and it was really trashy. and bad. and there's no one else in the world i'd rather scream "EWWWWW!" at the television with than my best friend!
4. the ymca
not only my location of employment, but also my workout/entertainment/prime laying out turf. who doesn't love working the stairclimber for 15 minutes and going swimming and laying out before church? if you know this person, please send them to montana or something. because no one REALLY lives in montana.
5. some dang good worship.
'nuff said. i can tell that after one night of really, really good worship, me and God are going to have one ROCKING summer together.
6. pretending to be a photographer.
i looooooove taking mrs anita's expensive camera and going around taking "awkward school pictures" with my beautiful friends! i'm glad we're comfortable enough with ourselves to take the ugliest pictures possible of ourselves and be okay with it. lack of inhibition is essentially my middle name.
