Blech. Summer.

I have been a high school graduate for almost a month now, but life could not feel any less different. This summer has been just like any other, possibly even more boring due to the lack of doing ANYTHING! Basically, this is what an average week looks like for me: Monday - sit around the house, maybe read; Tuesday - sit around the house, eat lunch, work, watch TV; Wednesday - repeat of Tuesday; Thursday - repeat of Wednesday/Tuesday; Friday - repeat of Monday; Saturday - wake up before the sun, work, participate in boredom; Sunday - church (blech), work, watch TV. It's no wonder that I'm getting fat. Ew. I would do something, but I tend to like to do things with other people, and so far this summer I seem to not really have friends, so that's fun.

Fortunately, I have, as of today, a mere 32 days until I can cross the pond and create some adventures with the Nelson sibs. I'm pumped. I can't even completely express just how excited I am to go on this trip, and I just know that when our trip draws even closer I simply won't be able to contain my excitement! Even now, I constantly am looking at hostels and places in each of the three major cities we will be visiting. It's an addiction. We will be hitting up Prague, Munich, and Vienna as the major destinations, and possibly some smaller cities/towns on the side. But take a look at these pictures and tell me you are not jealous.

Wow. So. Excited!

About two weeks after returning from Europe, I will be headed to college, so obviously that is just one more thing to make the end of summer awesome! College will be the best thing for me, I think. I'm hoping that it will be as great as I am hoping and imagining. I am just super done with Alexandria. I don't particularly like the small town setting (there are only a few characteristics I would keep), and nobody here really fits the idea of what I want in the people I hope to surround myself with. Oops. That might be the hipster in me coming out a little bit. I know that St. Joe is not a huge town, but it's bringing me one step closer to where I would like to be. That's all I can ask for.
