Well, I had a glossary for the blog mostly written, and of course my computer ate my draft when my Web browser crashed. Ah well...

I learned to parallel park today! My mum took me to a church parking lot near our house and taught me with some probably non-regulation-spaced cones, but at least I learned! And as a bonus, I didn't hit a cone and she did. :p Love you mum if you're reading this, though! I just thought it was funny. Now I just need to manage to actually get my license before going back to school. Yes, I'm 19 and don't have a driver's license...

I also failed to make much progress on what's left of my closet that I have to go through with the entire day off--but that's probably just because I'm overworked and so I was crashing. Thank God I'm planning to take two weeks off before going back to school--I could NOT handle getting right back into it. And I think I'm going to work less next summer! God knows I need it.

Meanwhile, how long has it been since I posted on here? That's how you know I'm overly busy. I mean, even during the school year I made at least two posts a week, right? And I haven't been able to get much of my backlog of posts onto here this summer--that was supposed to be one of my projects. But alas. It's ironic, though, that I think I might have more time for hobbies during the school year... at the very least I won't have such an unpredictable schedule and everyone around me will be working on more or less the same schedule.

Meanwhile, tomorrow is busy as well. I'm going straight from the library to lunch with Blue and Green (and Green's partner, whom I'm meeting for the first time!) and then to work, and then maybe to dinner with my parents after that. So I might end up crashing on Wednesday as well. We'll see.

Until then, I've got to go. Toodles!

P.S. Did y'all hear Kelly from Dance Moms had a stroke?!? I hope and pray she gets better soon!! She's be far my favourite cast member

I'm honestly feeling kind of overwhelmed today. My ADHD seems to be getting to me recently, but thankfully my therapist referred me to a psychiatrist recently to get officially diagnosed/medicated! Anyways, today is the first time in I don't know how long that I haven't had to go anywhere, so I've tried to kind of cram a lot of stuff into today. I took my last notes for my on-line bio class (YIPPEE!!!) and now I just have a few assignments to do tomorrow and a test to do Friday! I'm very excited to be done with it. :D I can only think how much time it'll open up for me for the rest of the summer to have more fun and relax more! Because really, I just need time to freaking relax. I guess I had some between getting back from Korea and starting back at work, but I'd like a little more old-fashioned summer days. I mean, that sounds a little "get off my lawn", but what I mean is sitting around, playing Splatoon or Minecraft, watching YouTube, watching TV. No obligations, just fun! I'm going to try and make some memories like that this summer. :)

And a pro of being a teacher just occurred to me--I'll still get the summer off! So I can keep doing fun stuff like that. :D Although it'll be harder to do stuff with my non-teacher friends during the weekdays. I'll try my best though!

Some highlights of the last few days: yesterday, Blue, Green and Green's little sister came over and we watched Mean Girls! I'd never seen it before and I understand now why it's so iconic. I'll write a mini-review of it on my site's Opinions page soon, so stay tuned for that!

Monday, I got to go to the lovely DMV (whilst quite hangry as well) to renew my permit. That's right, I somehow managed to make it to age 19 without a driver's license! Although I'm definitively saying that I definitely will have one by the end of the summer!! But my dad was, until recently, the only one who was willing to teach me to drive, and considering that five days of the week he's working long hours and Saturdays he helps my grandma out, I didn't really have any time to learn except for Sundays. Very annoying!

Recently, I've been watching two new shows: Boys Over Flowers, a K-drama from 2009 about this lower-class girl who gets a scholarship to an elite private school and K-drama drama ensues. It's really good and kind of addictive as well! I've also been watching Superstore, which is basically if The Office took place in a Wal-Mart or similar. Since I work in a grocery store myself, I find it really funny and at least somewhat relatable.

Next up in my Perpetual Journey Of Decluttering: in the limbo between my semester ending and my trip to Korea, I seem to have lost A) my nice electric toothbrush and B) my fancy expensive Korean skincare products I bought from my hair lady (who I need to see soon also, since my bangs are getting so long they're starting to bug me). In all the unpacking I did after getting home, I didn't find them, so I guess they must have been in one of the bags I unpacked beforehand? I have no clue. Anyways, I'm going to deep-clean my closet this Saturday in hope of finding them, and also because there's so much crap in there and I need to get rid of some of it.

And that's about it! Have any of y'all seen either of those series, or does anyone have any TV recommendations and/or decluttering advice or anything? Toodles!

Back at ya again! Now I'm sitting in my library. I never normally go to the library on weekends, or in the evening, but I always love it when I do so maybe I should more often! Anyways, even though a few weeks ago I was kind of dreading summer, I don't think I am anymore. I can work to keep myself busy, and at least one of my friends should be in town so I can hang out! And I'm (fingers crossed) FINALLY going to get my license (yes, I still don't have it, and yes, I'm more embarrassed about it than you are shocked) over the summer so I might be able to visit some of my college friends! Also, I put together a summer playlist that I've been jamming to over the past few days! (Actually, I just had to pause midsentence writing that in order to jam out to All Mine by f(x). So I've been having a pretty epic time.)

Also, I've been having such a hectic week! I'll really miss my friends, but I won't miss the work (although I do love my English class) and I won't miss the roommate drama, which I won't even get into here because I'm trying to get over it and let it go, but suffice it to say I've had a dramatic week. And then yesterday I spent all day until like 9:00 PM working on my compsci homework! I had the whole suite of emotions, from "I'm dropping this like it's hot" to "I love this it's so fun!", and I had basically no human interaction all day yesterday either, which made for a treat. But despite not getting enough sleep last night, I've had a pretty chill day today! I even chose on a whim to eat dinner outside since it was really nice out, although I had to come inside the library for the last little bit since the wind got pretty cold all of a sudden.

But yeah, it's been a pretty good day! I'll try to work more on the site tomorrow if I have time. Also, my polycarbonate MacBook has become an object of admiration from other people! Just now a couple clubmates of mine complimented me on it, and this guy in my stats class (who I don't really like but that's a different story) did too. It's so cute and I really need to put it on my computers page! I actually think I'll do that just now. Toodles!
