Hello Again, dA!

Well let's see here I guess that last time I was on here was all the way back in February. Let me do a catch up since then. 

Finals came and I made the dean's list again. I am hoping that I will do my final best in this last semester and get a 4.0. Come on guys, cheer me on!! No skipping classes and shit....hah yeah right. 

Then my summer started and I took a lifeguarding class that was being given in my hometown for 1/3 of the normal price ($300 normal; $100 for meeee!!) So that was around May, because the grand opening was around my mother's birthday and Memorial Day. The class was like two weeks before opening so I only had a little time before I was thrown into working. It's only a part time job but I keep myself busy because I don't like to be home...with my mother...

So three big things I did this summer:
I went to the Bronx Zoo. I went with my two friends and their mom who wanted to drive us. It was nice, but you know it was just sad realizing how miserable and bored those animals are. You go there and they're all asleep which makes it no fun because you want them to be happy. My favorite animal that I saw was the snow leopard. OMG he was beautiful...or she. I don't even know, I just wanted to climb in there and cuddle, seriously. 


The second thing I did was go to Great Adventure in New Jersey. It was like a double date sort of thing. We only got to go on three rides but they were pretty good. We went on The Dark Knight, Nitro and Kingda Ka. The last one is the tallest, fastest roller coaster in Northern America. With a 425+ ft drop, going 128 mph. After we met my friend's boyfriend's mom. She was so funny, and super good looking. He hates when we call her a milf, but she really is. 

The last thing I did was going to a country music concert at the county fair. It was really good and I knew a good amount of songs. The performance was good and funny and it would have been perfect if we didn't have to leave before it was over. 

So that and working at the rec center and the other place called Spillian has pretty much been my summer.

I've gotten a good amount of reading done this summer as well. 

I finished A Clash of Kings and started A Storm of Swords, and right about now I am halfway through it. 
Between it I read, The Lovely Bones and The World According to Garp. (R.I.P. Robin Williams)

My list of things to read keeps growing and growing and I don't have time to read everything. 

Here's a short list of what I still want/need to read:
A Feast for Crows
A Dance of Dragons
Divergent (trilogy)
The Hunger Games (trilogy)
The Vampire Lestat (Vampire Chronicles)
The Fault in Our Stars
The Prey
Deadeye Dick
Slaughterhouse Five
Catch-22

etc. etc. 


The more I read the more I want to write stories. I like writing short stories because I feel like it's a realistic goal for me and I am more compelled to finish writing it if I don't feel like it has to be long. 


Another good thing that's happened is I've been re-watching some anime I used to love. 
Robert, my boyfriend, and I started watching Samurai Champloo, Vampire Knight and Ouran High School Host Club. I want him to watch Cowboy Bebop, Fullmetal Alchemist, Code Geass, and Death Note. Hopefully after he watches all of those he will be more compelled to watch subbed anime. I remember when I never wanted to watch subbed anime, but once I broke through that wall, it was great because I could watch like every anime on the internet ever. 


Anyways, I will hopefully come up with some materials to post soon.
