Life's been really great lately. I've been busy, which always makes me happy. The prospect of free time to fill with meaningless TV (gotta love E!) and coffee on the couch sounds really appealing when it's finals week and I'm too busy to even sleep, but when the free time comes it's not long before I get the itch to do something meaningful or productive. All that free time and nothing productive to do starts to make me feel down. I felt a bit of that toward summer's beginning, but now I'm a rolling stone collecting no negative moss!
I went out dancing with some of my friends from Santa Barbara the other night. I've been wanting to go clubbing for so many weeks, but it kept falling through. We ended up going for my friend Carter's birthday. There isn't much that takes me higher than dancing to my favorite songs in an awesome setting among some of my favorite people. Song of the night: Scheiße by Gaga. I get so surprised and excited when they play a song I love that's a non-single. I'm still smiling inside over how much fun that night was. These guys are leaving for the Netherlands tomorrow to study abroad for a semester, so I'm really glad I got to see them one more time before they leave. Hopefully the next time I see them will be in Spain, the Netherlands, or somewhere in between.
I've been working at my usual job pretty often, I think I've gotten ~30 hours/week the last few weeks. On top of that, I've been working with my parents. I'm really, really enjoying it. I've worked a few mornings and a few late nights at our booth at the fair selling aged balsamic vinegars. I'm having fun people watching, learning something about balsamic vinegar and olive oil, saving more and more money, and getting to hang out with my parents. It's pretty fun being in the loop about what they do now and being able to talk business with them. Plus, since they work literally seven days a week, this is the perfect way for me to spend time with them while I'm home for the summer.
I worked at my usual job and at the fair today. I'm so satisfyingly tired! Wild Rivers highlights: It was busy for a morning shift, I worked with my favorite supervisors, and a guest called a cabana a "cabaña" with the [ñ]... I always get a kick out of that. Fair highlights: I laughed a lot with my mom and my brother, I waved affectionately at a lady that works with us and some stranger behind her thought I was waving at him and waved back (embarrassing but awesome), my old roomie called me, and I had this frozen mocha drink that was probably the most satisfying thing I consumed all day.
What else is up? I've done some shopping, I've started to like the Sex and the City series, I still Love Lucy, I look forward to Good Morning America every morning and have a little crush on 37-year-old anchor David Muir, my dog growls at me (now more than ever) every time I leave the house, and I've pretended to be interested in trying a couple new gyms so I could sample them and keep my workouts interesting.
It's been a great day. On that note, I will hit the sack. T-minus thirty days until departure!
