- It's July already...
- How many times I hear about the Casey Anthony trial in a day. Shut up already!!!
- Even though the weather man has predicted rain almost every day, we have yet to get a drop. I'm starting to not trust this weather man...
- Boyfriend does not like swimming and doesn't find it relaxing...how can you not enjoy swimming!? Maybe I enjoy it so much because I'm a Pisces...

Awesome

- When you go to a restaurant on your birthday and the staff comes out to sing for you because your friends just had to inform them that it's your birthday. It wouldn't be so bad if the entire restaurant wasn't staring in my direction.
- When you're driving in the dark and going through a curve and then BAM a car with it's brights on blinds you and you have no idea if you're still on your side of the road.
- When you're in such a rush to get around or really tired that you forget to wash the conditioner out of your hair. Yeah, not fun.
- It's been raining every day here so far and of course the one day that it was somewhat nice out I'm stuck in class the entire day : (
-When you're talking and you rearrange your words so it appears that you have become dyslectic for a second.
- Those days where you forget how to spell the word of. Afterwards you can't believe that you thought it was spelled like ov.

Awesome
- The overwhelming feeling of joy as you watch a chipmunk cross the road without getting hit.
- Only one more week until I get my refund! Can not wait to get the Canon 60D : )
- Driving around with no destination.
- When there is a storm rolling in and you can smell the rain before it starts.
- This song.

-Last night I ran over a creature for the first time with my car...it was sad :(
-I feel like I have so much information crammed in my head already that when I study for a test I can't retain any of the information. Yet I can still remember hundreds of music lyrics. Is there a point where your brain ends up like a gas tank? Once its full its full? Haha.
-So the genius weather man said we were supposed to be getting isolated thunderstorms every day this week. Yesterday was the first day this week we got rain.
-I feel like nothing in my life is going right and then all of a sudden BAM a lot of good things come my way. Like the quote at the top says, "Life doesn't have to be perfect to be wonderful." You can run over a poor animal one minute and be the winner of something amazing the next. Haha.
-The other day I had a dream and if I wouldn't have woken up I wouldn't have realized that it was just a dream. Do you ever have those kind of dreams? Where they feel so real that even when you wake up you couldn't believe that it was only a dream? And most of the time when I wake up I can't remember my dreams but this one I could still remember. It was a weird dream too, one that couldn't have possibly been real but felt so real...okay I'm mumbling now so I'll stop haha.


Awesome
-Remember this bracelet that I said I loved last Friday? Well Sydney over at The Daybook was giving it away and I'm the winner! I couldn't believe it when I saw my name. I had to keep re-looking just to make sure that I did in fact read it correctly and yes that is my name! I can't wait to post about it when I receive it in the mail.
-Two more weeks and I get my refund which is hopefully going to be enough to get the Canon 60D that I've been wanting for forever.
-I got a new pair of glasses on Tuesday. My eyesight wasn't getting a lot worse, I was just starting to notice that road signs were getting harder to see and things were kind of fussy. But when I put these babies on I was like, "I can see again!" lol. Everything was crisp and clean  : )
-I aced both of my midterms this week : ) Even with the lack of retaining information.
-The list of classes that are going to be available for next semester are finally up on the school website. I can't wait to start taking more photography classes!!

-When you're getting a pedicure or something of the sort and the Asian woman says something and you're like, "What? " and she says, "I wasn't talking to you," but then proceeds to talk to the woman next to her in their language and you just know that she is now talking about you but you have no idea what they are saying.

Awesome
-I get another refund in 3 weeks and I'm hopefully buying the new-ish Canon EOS 60D with it!
-This weekend Boyfriend and I are taking a Motorcycle Basic Rider Course! He already has his endorsement but figured it wouldn't hurt to learn it again and I would feel more comfortable if he was there with me.
-I finally listened to my hair stylist and bought a heat protection spray for my hair since I straighten it almost everyday. It's called Iron Silk 07 by Redken and it smells and works amazingly! What I mean by smells amazing is that it doesn't smell like hair spray. Haha. I loathe the smell of hair spray.
-I've lost 6 lbs. so far. Which isn't much I know but it's been a while since i've talked about my weight loss goal so I figured I should give you girls an update. I promise to do a post about it when I loose 10 lbs.

- I have three spider bites on my upper thigh. I think he was trying to get to my butt...
- Monday my GPS wanted me to turn on a road that didn't exist. After 'missing' the road it proceeded to tell me to "make a legal u-turn when possible". Let me inform you that it was dark and I had no idea where I was. Great!
- Thursday in my photography class we had an hour to go around campus and take pictures of textures (like the photo above). At first it was awkward going around and taking pictures of things like grass but then I got the hang of what exactly I was looking for and it started getting interesting.

Awesome
- I get my refund on the 23rd which means I can finally go out and buy a SLR camera! I have this old Kodak digital one so I think it's time for an upgrade.
- My photography classes!
- I've already made a new friend in one of them : ) I have like no friends down here so it's kind of a big deal.
- I've finally figured out a schedule for working out. I haven't been able to go in forever because of all the craziness that has been going on lately. I'm excited to jump start my weight loss though!
