Feeling Better

I just realized that I haven't been bored in a while as a result of my getting a job. This summer has been the most event-filled summer I have ever experienced, and I'm definitely loving it. It has its ups and downs, though.

Ups:
1. I am never bored.
2. I'm getting paid! -- even though this is minimum wage, I'm still pretty excited! :-P
3. Everyday is pretty much productive.

Downs:
1. I feel tired and stressed a lot, mostly as a direct result of not being able to work on government at a normal time and having to work on it in the wee hours of the night like school has already started or something. But then again, I still manage to update this blog. Go figure.
2. Clarinet practicing is not very regular since work schedules sometimes come right after volunteer/camp schedules.
3. Not much time to hang out with friends. But I do manage to get around this by cutting back from my gov homework time (hee hee..) which actually ends this Friday, so I really got to get on studying for the finals.

Gosh. Notice how verbose the downs are compared to the ups. I swear the glass is half full.

But, speaking of hanging out with friends, I actually cut back 4 hours or so from gov studying/quizzing to hang with Hope and Timmy today (heh heh, for shame). It was really awesome, and I definitely appreciate them coming over! It cured me of my miserable feelings on Sunday. Here are my favorite pictures from the day:

Ehh.. so the picture uploader isn't working for me tonight. I'll put up the captions and fill the pictures later. =P


The Fried Rice: looks good, huh? Basic eggs, carrots, peas.. and of course, rice.


And here's the best candid shot ever, even though they were posing: Hope eating perfectly while Timmy sticks out his tounge. Priceless! :D

Oh, and Timmy you are quite awesome. (Direct response to talking to you on G-Talk.)

Ahh, well I hope everyone has a nice day. Don't worry too much about AP scores and what not. It will be alright in the end. =)

I'll be volunteering at Egleston's tomorrow and then heading off to work again, so it's going to be another one of those days. I'll write about the stuff I mentioned in my previous post 'to write or not to write' or whatever.

I can't believe it's almost 1! I gotta get to sleep! Goodnight.
