No, really, what have I been doing? I feel like I've been very busy but also doing nothing at all so far this summer.

-I've scheduled another ADHD screener (the first psychiatrist I saw turned out to be crap at her job so my mother insisted I get a second opinion)
-I've scheduled my wisdom teeth removal
-I've spent a lot of time with Grey (including staying over for the first time! Woah!!
-I've spent some time with Blue and Green, although our schedules have trouble lining up and Blue's leaving town for an internship soon
-I hyperfocused for a few hours and did some work on the family history I've tried like five times to start writing over the past few years
-I went to the mall with Red and met her new boyfriend! They are the most ADORABLE couple!

And yet I still feel like I haven't really gotten out of the house. I start back at work tomorrow, so at least I'll be getting out, but I totally want to go out and actually do things.

Maybe I need to get more sleep. I'm really tired right now and maybe that's impacting my perspective.

I'm turning twenty soon. That's odd. I'm not going to be a teenager anymore. I'm entering adulthood. And yet I feel like I only started truly living once I came out and went off to college.

This summer is going by too quickly. Although the twelve days I've been back do feel like a long time already. Maybe they've been too jam-packed. Maybe I need more lazy days where I have nothing to do all day. Those are some of the best summer days.

Trying to coordinate with my boyfriend's and friends' work schedules is literally the worst thing ever. It feels like people are always at work or too tired or something like that. But I guess starting tomorrow I'll be in that boat.

Anyways, I hope I get to get out more and make the most of my summer. Speaking of, I need to go get my mum to measure me so I can buy a swimsuit!

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!

So it's still been hot, and on Friday it's supposed to get up to THIRTY-FOUR! Why coudln't my ancestors have stayed in cooler places? I'm well sick and tired of heat. And just to rub it in my face, even though it can't be cool and rainy, today there have been fireworks that sounded kinda like thunder, to remind me of the miserable, hot, humid weather.

Near-obligatory temperature rant aside, I've also been somewhat attempting to work on summer reading these past couple of days. I have like a paragraph and a half of a script for one of the videos done, which, though miniscule, is probably more than can be said for many of my classmates.

I've also started to play more mobile games recently, and one of them has been Paper.io 2. I played it a while ago and it was generally cool, so they couldn't have ruined it right, since? Wrong. Nowadays, it's absolutely bombarded with ads (I kid thee nay, there was one like every thirty seconds of gameplay.) I tried Paper.io 3D, though, and its ads were less annoying. (I still have yet to try the original.) However, Paper.io 2 really needs to just... stop. Anyways, other than that, I've been playing Tomb of the Mask, a cool 8-bit inspired gamed which I used to play a lot, as well as Pokemon Go, which I tried to play on my old phone, but it didn't really work. Lastly, I've also been playing Cut the Rope, which I used to play a ton! It's a great game!

Anyways, other than that, I don't really have much to talk about, so I'll talk to you later. Bye!
