55 Days!

That's it, only 55 more days until I leave for London!!
Can't freaking wait, but I feel like I have so much to do before then. I don't even know what to pack, or how I'm going to pack light when I'm going to be somewhere for five weeks. I'm a terrible over packer, mostly because I like to give myself choices in clothing. So packing for a five week trip to a different country is going to be interesting. I do know that I'm getting a raincoat though so that's kind of awesome. I also already have my textbook, which actually looks really interesting and could be something on my summer reading list for fun haha.
Well it's finally summer vacation, I've been done with the hardest semester ever since Saturday. Still don't have all my grades which is kind of frustrating but mostly I'm just happy the semester is over. Summer means Houston, reading books, and working at Studio again, but only for a month and a half and I get to watch free movies. So it'll be a short summer here in Texas. Really what I would like to do is spend as much time at the beach or pool as possible, and hang out with my friends. So far seeing my friends is working out well. I came home Tuesday, went out to eat that night and hung out with Bethany, Jason, Bobby and a few of Bobby's friends. We also checked out the supposedly haunted Patterson road. Last night we went to a really cool bar downtown called Howl at the Moon. They have a group of guys who play piano, guitar, drums, etc and you can request songs and they make up really entertaining lyrics. They also have a mirrored wall and you can pay to write whatever you want on the wall. It was a lot of fun, and a place I'd go again. It might become a weekly tradition.

As wonderful as summer is saying goodbye to Waco gets harder every year. My house there becomes more like home and my friends there more like family. This year was especially sad because I won't see my graduating friends, like Brooke and Laura, again next year. Hopefully we can all have some reunion visit at some point, maybe in Michigan where Brooke will be. I'm also going to miss my roommates, we will all be in different states (or countries) for most of the summer. So before we all left we had a really fun photo shoot afternoon, with Brooke's dad as the photographer and the pictures turned out really cute.
