Summer is here!

Well, year two of college is over, and that means I'm halfway done! Yay! Sometimes it's hard to believe that two years of college has gone by. Sometimes I can't believe the stuff that has changed in a year. In a year, I've found myself in a new major from what I once believed for most of my life that I was going to do. Some people I've grown apart from. Others I've grown closer to. Especially a certain nerd boy. ;) I've found that I've grown more outgoing and independent than I was during freshman year, when I spent most of my time in my dorm on my computer.

...okay, I still spend a lot of time on my computer when I'm alone, but I've been spending more time hanging out with friends and just being outside the dorm.

My summer so far has been great. Phil came home with me to stay for the first week, and we had an amazing time. I of course went through my asthma/allergy hell, but I still had fun. We went bowling, I showed him some cool places in our area, like Made In Japan, where he wanted to buy everything in the store. ;) We of course did our usual of playing games together, and my dad even showed him how to ride an ATV and took us out on the trails, where he got to see the hills of Broome County. Phil loved trying all the local foods like spiedies and Brozetti's pizza, and I got him to try bubble tea. We even played Scene It against my parents one night, and it was so funny doing a victory dance after they did theirs in front of us the previous game. ;)

I loved having him here. I don't remember a time I wasn't smiling when he was around, because he was being his sweet self. He even tucked me in one night because he wanted to, and that was so sweet. I always woke up before him, even though I was usually up for an extra two hours on my computer after he went to bed, and when he woke up he would come over to me and give me a kiss or a hug, or both. When he left I tried not to cry at the bus station, and I was able to keep distracted for most of the day, but that evening I cried really hard. It's funny, I don't think I've cried that hard over someone leaving. I mean, it's sad when people have to go home, but I just outright bawled. I felt kinda pathetic, but it also showed how much I missed him.

My plan right now is to go visit sometime in July, but no date is set. I am thinking sometime in mid-July, but there's two things I need to plan around. The Unadilla race is July 15th, and I go every year with Man and my family. However, Phil's family wants to see me before they go to Florida, and they leave the 21st as far as I know. I'd like to stay a week like Phil did. We've got time to figure this out though, so no worries.

Oh, and we're planning on going to see The Birthday Massacre on August 10th! They're playing at the Blacksun Festival in New Haven, CT, which is a Gothic and Industrial music festival. It lasts 3 days, but Phil and I just want to see The Birthday Massacre, so we're going for one day. It should be fun, because I get to goth myself out again. That's the one time I enjoy wearing makeup. ;)

Other than that, my summer will just be filled with me keeping myself busy. I've applied to places for a job, but so far I've heard from nobody. I've applied to more places than last year, and called and visited places asking about my application, so it's not like I'm jobless through lack of effort. If I don't get a job, I might do some volunteer work instead. I've also got many new games and old games to beat, like Twilight Princess, the other endings of Chrono Trigger, Final Fantasy VII, and...Pokemon Diamond. Stop laughing.

I'm also going to do some computer science stuff, like learning a new language or two, and reading up on stuff for my next courses to get a head start. I'm also thinking of making my own design for this page, or even my own webpage. Yeah, I know I've talked about a webpage a long time ago, but I kinda want to make my own from scratch just for the hell of it.

Oh, and of course, the Boba Fett costume. ;)

My biggest goal, however, is to relax. So far I've been having moments this summer with worrying, stressing, and other things, for no real rational reason, and I hate it. My worrying has gotten in the way, and I do not want that on myself, or to put others through it any longer. It's going to be hard, because I've always been a worry-wart. However, if I'm truly going to be happy with myself, then I need to learn when I need to worry, and when I need to just back off. I've got nothing to worry about in my life:
-I'm in a wonderful relationship that has been making me extremely happy.
-I've got friends who I enjoy being with.
-School has been fun, despite the difficult times, and I love being at college.
-While my health could be better, it could've been a lot worse. :P
-I've got hobbies and interests that make me happy, like knitting and gaming.

So, yeah, I've just got to concentrate more on the good stuff in my life, than worry about the "what if"s in life. Despite that one factor that needs to be worked on, I've got many things to do this summer to keep my busy, and having fun. :)
