The title is a joke. Hahaha. I didn't laugh. Did you? Anyway, I graduated high school, scheduled for prom, went to a graduation party and project graduation (almost fell asleep driving home at 6am, which one of my friends did and then ran into a pole, but he's okay). Yesterday I just thought about how many opportunities I have. I have a nice house to live in, plenty of food to eat, a place to attend college with almost no out-of-pocket cost, new friends to meet and old friends to keep, so many material goods, and I'm alive. I know I take a lot of those things for granted. My church got me a bible for graduation, which is really nice. It is also useful, considering my study bible is falling apart. It made me think of how many bibles I have, though, and that made me feel a little guilty. I have so many copies of God's word but have so much trouble finding time to give to him. There shouldn't be anything keeping me from it. I clearly have had the opportunity to do so every day for the past four years, but more often than not, that didn't happen. I need to start a routine to take better care of myself physically, mentally, and spiritually. Although routines and plans are great for the first two categories all the time, I don't want my time with God to just be a routine. I don't want to read or pray out of obligation, but out of dedication. Speaking of dedication, I am planning on trying to blog at least once every week this summer. Hopefully I end up writing more often than that. I have been throwing a couple of ideas around, and we will see where those end up. I just know that I have things I need to share with people, and this is a great platform for doing so. This is a place where I can be real with people. I had a discussion with a friend about how society is becoming translational instead of transformational (a pastor's words, not mine). It made me think about my interactions with others and my work for God. I want to encourage people to change for themselves and share things that inspire people instead of communicating in a selfish way. Those are some of my goals. I hope you, reader, find summer and free time as encouraging as I do. Let's move on together as we continue through the seasons of our lives.

Hello and good evening, internet. Fancy seeing you here. Time for quick news- I aced all of my college classes this semester! And that is saying something, because they were both sophomore level classes, and required more effort and knowledge than absolutely anything else I've ever done, except maybe the AP US test. My English class helped my writing a lot. I think that I am going to be more conscious of developing arguments and structuring them properly now. I have less than four weeks of school left, and my senior prom dress came in today. I took a risk and ordered it from lightinthebox.com, and it turned out pretty well, I think. It's lined, it fits, and it's pretty, although now I think I should have picked navy instead of red. Nonetheless, the only complaint I have is that it came pretty darn wrinkled, but then again, it shipped from China, so I can't complain. I've continued my ritual of reading in the library during school for one hour, and I have gotten through many books. They've all been good, and below I will detail them. I sincerely hope I'm not forgetting any.... but here we go!
You might notice that I have three 10's and one 6. I'm picky with what I read. I don't really like mysteries or things that are especially sad throughout. If I had to rank my 10's, I would have to say....
On that note, go forth and read!
Happy April! I am going to share with you some of my adventures. I am also continually going to employ sentence structure that is rather strange, because right now, I feel like I need a little ridiculousness. Let's see...the last thing I discussed here was my new doctor and my honors program admittance, so I'll proceed from there.
Wow, that is one long list. To me, it's absolutely exhilarating because I love my life, but to you, darling reader, I'm sure it's a bit dull. So in my endeavors on this blog....I think I'm going to post more varied things, and when I give you long, rant-filled updates, I will try to include actual pictures of actual things, i.e. pictures of my goats and how my pale I am, or any more spring/summer adventures. I enjoy throwing all of the words up there for the wonderful thing called self-expression, but I understand that my self-expression is pretty boring sometimes. I'll do better. It's all for you, bb.
