I called, for the final time I hope, Panera. And it looks like a job is going to be a available. That and Alex's restaurant (although I won't know that one for sure till I return.)  I decided that I am going to minor in Photography if I do the major of Pre-Med. Its a passion of mine and I would love to do it for a living and who knows. It could put me through Medical School. I don't know.

I'm loving the fact that it has been a non-stop thunderstorm the past two days. The lightning has been amazing! Last night I sat on my bed, writing in my journal. I had the blinds open, as well the window enough that the rain wouldn't come pouring in but I could still feel the cool air. Summer is so close I can taste it. Its just not coming fast enough.

The school year is winding down. Finals started. And once they are done, its summer. A time to live, to dream, to fall in love. Sure, we all grow during the year. But summer, at least right now, is the greatest time for growth. Where we make the most mistakes. We also learn more than any book could teach us. The long days filled with memories. Traditions start. Some days aren't so great. But when you are surrounded by your closest friends. It makes everything okay.

I can't wait to go for a drive. The first or second night I get back to Pennsylvania I'm going out for a drive. A time to think and unwind. It will begin just before sundown. My windows will be down, music playing. And I'm going to drive through the country-side towards Mt. Gretna. I am then going to park my car and make my way down the hiking trail. It would be great to have some of my best friends with me while I do this. Maybe get ice cream at the Jigger Shoppe. And then walk from there down to the playground.

I want to feel the summer air on my skin. I want to stare at the night sky. Try to count the stars. And maybe at some point this summer I will have a special someone to do this with. I'm going to lie. I want a real summer fling. A sweet romance that wraps up in time for school. Especially because I won't be in Pennsylvania. I don't want what I've had in the past. I want actual dates. Actual conversations possibly over actual coffee. If I don't I guess that would be okay, as long I don't spend my free time sitting at home. I don't want to do that this year.

Over all. My car, iPod, and journal are going to be my best friends.

Let the summer of 09' begin. ♥
