I'm home now.

Went to Germany, Switzerland, France, Luxumbourg, Belgium, and drove through Austria. Way more than I expected to do. First of all I must say, I saw some of the most BEAUTIFUL countrysides I have ever seen in my life. Driving down the highway, you can honestly see out 100 miles in both directions with NOTHING but blue sky, and rolling green hills with little farms scattered around. And it's like that until suddenly you stumble upon a HUGE city like Munich, Germany. So awesome. Probably the hardest thing to do was communicate. German, don't understand too much of it haha. Here's a short version of what I did:

-Rode horses in the German countryside
-Drove on the Autobahn. People honestly drive no slower than 140 k/h (about 90 mph)
-Drank champagne with breakfast
-Used the french I used in school (never thought I actually would)
-Stayed in cute little bed and breakfasts the whole time
-Did a wine tasting at one of the best and most famous vineyards in France (and bought a bottle)
-Asked a french man for directions to a castle to which he replied "move over, I'm getting in" and drove with us up to the trailhead...and didn't even ask for a ride back
-Hiked for forty minutes up a mountain to explore castle ruins
-Ate pastries, cheese, chocolate, and the best breads I've ever tasted. The whole time
-Drank amazingly good (yes, GOOD) beer at Biergartens with a bunch of Germans
-Saw the Alps. SOOOOOOO gorgeous
-Rode a lift up to the top of an Alpine mountain and rode a luge down it

The pics will be up soon. For now, I'm too tired. Got up at 6 in the morning yesterday to catch out 10 am plane, flew for 8 hours, had a 5 hour layover, flew for another 5.5 hours, and landed in SeaTac at 8 pm the SAME DAY. So weird. But anyways, I'm too tired to really want to deal with computers, so peace out.

Today ruled (minus the Thor blowup)

Nuff said.

I GOT IN TO UW!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm so happy.

Holy crap. Exactly four months left. I can't even believe it. And I can't even wait.

I gave blood for the first time today. I was horrified and sweated like a pig...but I made it. And saved up to three lives!

I'm turning my UW application this week. And I'm scared as hell.

So basicallyyyyy...

I'm legal.

verdict on the first day of school:
RETARDED. But my classes are pretty cool.

But...
my lunch sucks,
waiting for the sophomores to get over the fact that "THEY'RE IN HIGH SCHOOL NOW!" is really hard to bear,
and I'm freaking tired as hell.

I already hated it.
Sup, senioritis.

After going to the school on Tuesday, here is my (hopefully)final schedule:

1. Wind Ensemble
2. Innovative fitness/Biotech
3. AP Statistics
4. AP English
5. Sports Medicine
6. AP Government

I think this is the best year when it comes to teachers. I don't have one retard...except for Mrs. Hullet, whose my advisory teacher...Jesus...
Today, I read the last of the Bible for AP English homework...now I just have to write down my 75 vocab words with their meaning, and take notes on all the prophets. I'll do it at Phillip's.

I would just like to reserve this area to Ben and thank him for all of the gifts he's "bought" me. HAHAHAHA

Well, I'm gonna go chill with Phillip now.

I'm at work. Haha shows what a great employee I am.
Anyways,
Last night was so fun. That is, until I got back to Lynn's where pretty much no one likes me, doesn't get my humor, and actually thought I was serious about the dolphin picture. Sorry everyone, just trying to throw in a little competition. Didn't really work, hahaha. At least team Unicorn Slayer was FREAKIN AWESOME.

So today, don't know.
Tomorrow, registration, fair, work, fair again.

I realized two things today. Almost at the same time, surprisingly.
1) I have virtually no friends. Ha
2) I forgive people way too easily.

Anyways, Phillip and I went to Issaquah to Steve's son's college grad party. It was so hot I thought I was going to pass out, but there were pickleball, badminton, and croquet tournaments. Phillip and I won croquet.
But seriously, these people and their families are like, billionaires. The family- which are all brothers- shares 89 acres, one of the houses is worth 20 million dollars, and between all of the houses are pastures which contain 25 horses.
Holy Christ, I am going to live like that when I grow up. Its days like these that refuel my drive.

Well, tomorrow, I earn 30 bucks for my AP US book. Hopefully hanging out with Jessa. Visiting Ariel. Then, my favorite part of every day...WORK!

Everyone's been really depressing lately. Actually its been like that all summer. Oh well.

Well, Warped Tour was pretty much amazing. Although when I met Say Anything after waiting an hour, Max Bemis didn't show up, and they were all dicks, so that really puts a damper on how much I like them. They were amazing live, though.
I crowd surfed for the first time during Motion City Soundtrack. Hellz yea.
Camping was kind of a disaster though, but at least it was entertaining.

See yuhhhh

My job is going faaaabulosooo. I really do love it. I get to be around NORMAL people and do a job where I get to SIT DOWN. I just sit there, but I keep just busy enough to have the time fly by, but not so much that I want to kill myself.

So last night Terrin and I made a very interesting video. We are SO proud of it. It took us so long to make hahahaha
But its FREAKING hilarious.

I just made the best french toast ever.

Tonight, going to Barnes & Noble at midnight to retrieve my reserved copy of the new Twilight book with Lynn, Ben, Philly, and Lauren.
We are SO cool.
Indianola days tomorrow. Sand castle building contest, here I come.

Finally got confirmation about my job at the bank. I start Monday the 4th.
This weekend is going to RULE. Going to Indianola days with Philly, my dad, Tina, Chris, and Riley, where they have a sandcastle building contest and all that stuff.
Oh, and guess what?! My culminating project is done. DONE. It sucks for people who couldn't afford to pay to go to summer school.
But on the other hand, have fun, all you people who were like "EW, I'M NOT DOING SUMMER SCHOOL. I'M GONNA HAVE FUUN!" I only actually went to class about 3 days, only spent about an hour there for those days, finished my efolio, got 100% on my presentation when I didn't even feel confident about how I did, and the judges: Mr. & Mrs. Campbell...and Lynn's mom. And guess what? All you people get to stress out for the last half of school, scrambling to get your efolio and project finished, present in front of a bunch of asshole board members, and stay up all night writing research papers wanting to kill yourself while also doing your school homework.
Hope laying around all summer was worth it!!!

So this weekend was pretty awesome. I'm pretty sure the best part was IMAX Batman The Dark Knight. We paid this goup of people ten bucks to cut them and be at the front of the line. We got SUCH good seats, considering what we WOULD have gotten if we stayed in the very back of the line. So it was an amaaazing movie.
I just got done doing Lynn and Ariel's makeup, then we took after pictures. The befores look kind of like mug shots compared to the afters, so I think I do a pretty damn good job. Next I'm doing Lauren (again, but all by myself) annnd Chelsea's? Or whoever.

Well, went to Wild Waves today with my "group of friends" meaning Phillip. I found them once and when we split up Phillip and I went to find them at the ride they were on. We waited for like...15 minutes. Sooo yea. I finally found Lynn, Eric, and Krista and we went on some rides for a while and floated down the Lazy River thing. It was fun. Except when I found my other group of friends while in line at the Timber Hawk. They got off, looked at their picture, aaaaaand just walked off. I'm pretty much done trying.

Off to Ariel's to watch movies, eat food, and stay the night.

Well, I think I got the message through to my friends how I'm really feeling. Hopefully things go back to how they used to be.

On the 3rd of July at my dad's cabin, I realized that I really am being slowly pushed out of my best friend's circle. Except for Lynn, Ariel, and Lauren (who I really need to hang out with) who don't treat me any different. No matter what any of them say, I AM being excluded, and it really sucks.

Oh well. On the 4th Ariel, Jameson, Levi, Cody, Tanner, and Josh came over and we set off tooonnnnss of firecrackers, attempted to make sparkler bombs, jumped on the trampoline, made a bonfire with s'mores, and played guitar hero. Then Ariel and I stayed the night. Levi and Cody stayed downstairs and did their own thing. It was heeecksa fun.
Yesterday, got some new tires, coffee, cleaned my house up, rented movies.

Today, went and played ultimate frisbee with Phillip, the Grouliks, Andy Kong, Jake Newling, Levi, and some UW people. It was intense. And awesome.
Then went to Chuck E. Cheese with my dad, tina, chris, fam from Cali, grandparents, and my neighbor aunt, uncle and cousin

Leavenworth was pretty AWESOOMMMEE. Really hot and really fun. I want to go back in the winter when its all snowy. I heard its super nice. Plus, there are lots of festivals for Christmas and everything during that time.

Going to the cabin today to watch the fireworks and stay the night. Gonna see tons of my family and hang with some friends. It may not be super hot/nice, but its okay. We're still gonna pah-ty.

Plans for near-future: Lots of working out, getting started on my culminating project (probably doing make-up. If you want me to do yours for it, just say so), and study for re-taking my SAT's since I got a fucking SHITTY score. Oh my God...

Holden out.

So Kelsey's party turned out disasterous on my personal part. Whatever.

Really freaking bored right now. Leavenworth in 2 days.
