goodbye summer...

Summer is gone and done. I am so sad! I feel like this summer came and went soo fast - too fast. Like it was all a blur. I had finals, then boom! Crazy summer. Doing stuff everyday, every week. I think there was only one week that I did completely nothing. Yeah, one week. Probably the best week of my summer. ha :) Remember the list I made of things I wanted to do during these two months? (check out list here) Well, this is what really happened...

• Go places. That I did. A lot. I just went up to Sacramento to see my grandma. I went to Mexico. Lake Tahoe. Yosemite. And some other places, I think.
• Shop. Yes! I went shopping a lot when my cousin Hannah came down for a week. She loves shopping (I mean, loves) so we also went down to the...
• LA Fashion District. So much fun.
• Sleeping in. Sadly, that didn't happen a lot. There were so many things I was doing that I didn't really get the chance to sleep in late... Buuummmmmmer.
• Friends. I didn't get the chance to hang out with all my friends either this summer. Let down. Though a lot of the stuff I did, my friends did too, so we'd get to hang out while we were doing stuff, like helping out with VBS.
• Take pictures. I did a lot of that! I don't know why I haven't posted any of them yet, Emma. And I've been going to so many places. Geez. I should have this humongous post with all of them to make up. Though at the moment (and this whole past year) my computer's been having this long, slow death...so uploading a lot of pictures has been rather a problem. Poop.
• Read The Hobbit. That didn't happen. Barely at all. (I'm sorry, McKenna!! I'm sorry) I almost finished the first chapter and then I was done. I know, I know. My friend McKenna will probably force me to listen to her read it out loud because she loves it so much. haha In the meantime, I'm going to make this a life goal. Hopefully I'll read this book before I die. Hopefully...... I did read a few books though. It's called The Charmed Life series and I love them.

 <---- it was that one. It's a series of three and this copy has all three in one. Pretty snazzy looking, I must say.

 

All in all, hello school and



emma.

here comes the sun...

I could totally use one of those this summer! ^ I'm just sayin'... That pretzel floaty is pretty snazzy, I must say.

SUMMER IS ALMOST HERE!!! Almost. I am so excited and SO ready! Are you? I'm especially looking forward to no school. It's time for a break, my friends! haha Here are some of the things I want to do during the next few months...

• Go places! I hope to go on some trips to places I have no idea where. I especially love day trips. I love seeing new places and looking at all the shops. So cool!
• Shop...yes, I'll be honest. I really feel like going shopping right now. haha Yes. :)
• Sleeping in! No alarm clock going off. Sounds like freedom.
• Occasional swimming...I'm not much for swimming but it's summer, so I will.
• Friends! Yes, much so.
• Taking pictures!! I really want to bring out my camera more. Seeing so many pictures on other blogs that so many talented people have taken inspires me so much. My Santa Monica post sorta showed me that I am capable of taking pictures. Yay! haha Emma can take pictures... 
• LA Fashion District! I haven't been there in a few years and I'd really like to go again. (for those of you who don't know what this place is - it's a shopping area in Downtown LA that has a bunch of cheap stuff! It's rather awesome.)
• Read The Hobbit. McKenna (my friend) and I are going to read this together (right, right?) because of the movie that's coming out. If you haven't seen the trailer, check it out below...

What are your plans for the summer? Anything exciting? Oh, and are you excited? Cause I'm so doing some of these right now...
