Almost July ^_^ 这几乎七月！

Hey so I haven't written in a while, and T and K haven't written at all (cough cough) :). Anyways my summer has been pretty slow and uneventful for the time being, been working at Chans every weekend pretty much (did a double shift last Sunday that was tiring), now I have taken on a job as a swim instructor for 2 little boys who go to my church, perhaps i might get a violin student (5 year old adorable little girl), and am perhaps taking on the job as the nursery caregiver at my church (which pays pretty well.) All in all my summer has become about working. Trying to save up towards college and everything. Which means no spending and hanging out with friends much, sigh. I have been seeing Sarah and Stuart a lot lately though and have started running again which is good. I even got Stuart into running :D For this upcoming July I am running the Spark you Heart 5K, getting my new roommate, and carving my Fall semester schedule in stone. Yesterday I spent most of my time figuring out which classes I want to take. Linfield has a highly competitive scheduling system, because I notified them so early that I wanted to go there, I will be one of the first to choose my classes on July 11th, which is cool, however I have to have everything ready and send in everything by 8 AM sharp in order to get into the classes I want. Upper upperclassmen have already chosen their classes so freshmen choose from what's left. It kinda stinks, luckily Chinese 1 is open which is the class I REALLY want! Since i plan to go abroad to China either my Sophomore or Junior year! 我迫不及待地想了解我的母语! ---> (I cannot wait to learn my native language!) Perhaps I will use Chinese for a future profession..? Also I got into Linfield's First CLAS program which means I will be leaving for college August 18th instead of August 24th. It's a program that is highly competitive to get into, which is why I am so excited for the acceptance! It's where some incoming freshmen get together early with peer advisers and staff members of Linfield and explore campus, explore downtown McMinnville, do some community service projects, play fun games to get to know one another, and go explore downtown Portland! I am excited, all this and it's cheap cause it's a sponsored program :D
Alright, so I am going to go and start of my day (it has been very lazy so far) hope you 3 are having fun traveling, Bend is very desolate now that everyone is gone. But I will look forward to seeing everyone come back sometime in July or August. We have to go to the fair when it's in town, I am looking forward to that more than anything, big group? I think yes!

One word. CRAZY!!!!!!!

Yes, crazy is the only word that can describe the last couple weeks. Im still taking in the fact that we are graduated and will be heading off in different directions in a couple months! Graduation was great though and the grad party was way fun! My trip to Sacramento with the summit team was fun but tiring. I had a decent race, didnt run the time i wanted, but hey, i got 4th place in one of the largests meets in the nation! :D And now to the ultra crazy stuff. Moving out of my house in sub 2 weeks. yup, less than two weeks to get all of my CRAP out of my house, and it has sucked! Today we finally got almost all the furniture out of the house! and we had a garage sale too where we made bucko bucks, over 1,000 bucks and then sold several trailers, so we are getting rid of alot! and i sold some paintings too! (dont worry T, you still get your yellow one :P) I finally bought my macbook and it should be getting to my moms house in a couple of days! so stoked!

Now to the sad craziness...I had to put my precious Chessie down yesterday. The world (and the backyard) already seems less bright without her :( Though she was a great dog, and no dog will ever replace her, i know she is in a better place. Im sure she is running through fields of frisbees right now! I love her so much!

Anyways, Im heading to arizona on sunday, and will be embarking on an epic adventure which i will of course write about aftwards. Keep in touch everyone! love you and enjoy the amazing summer!

Graduated!! Summer before College!!

Hey so I decided to write first this summer, I hope we get into the habit of writing ladies, cause I know for sure we are all parting ways again. And this summer is cut short for a lot of us, since we are leaving for COLLEGE!! in August/September! Last night was our graduation from Mountain View High School, which was so much fun! Walking down to the seats (with the best walking partner, thanks T!), receiving our honors diplomas, moving our tassles, to throwing our caps! The moment was unforgettable, and so was the awesome party with lots of food and fun games and prizes afterward that lasted till 3 AM! We did it ladies, officially graduated and moving on to the next chapter in our lives, I am so proud of all 3 of you for working hard for 13 years and walking with me and the rest of the class of 2011!! Let's keep writing i am excited to hear about your summers! <3 S p.s. i wish we had taken a picture of all four of us in our caps and gowns, ah well.
