i’m actually going to make a pretttty lengthy post. i feel like i have a lot to say.

school started. i’m taking seven classes. ay yi yi. i know i sound extremely INSANE, but hear me out.
i signed up for 6 (including a bio lab) and felt like that was definitely more than enough of a work load. the next morning, i checked my school email, and saw that i fit all the criteria to start my professional seminar semester this spring, but was just missing one class. although the class was full, i emailed the teacher and got in! so i’m starting prosem next semester, and i’m a step closer to graduating. i know this semester is going to be hell on EARTH, but i just really want to push through it. i want to graduate. i want to grow up! i want to be onto the next new and exciting part of my life.

anyway. i went to the beach yesterday with dan and met up with courtney and josh. it was really fun. although me and court are much more different than we probably would have imagined becoming in high school, she’s always going to be my best friend. always. she gets me so well. also, erin smith has been and always will be my best friend. i can’t believe she even deals with me being such a psycho. i’m so lucky to have such awesome friends. i’m extremely grateful.

i’ve been working a lot. you know, i have to pay the bills! things are going okay with it. serving is stressful, but it’s cool. last sunday, september 5th, always ends up being one of THE worst days in the WORLD for me. like, i didn’t see the date until like 7pm, and it all made sense. i know it seems completely insane to every other person in the world, believe me, i agree. i cried it off and got over it. baggage comes with every attempted and failed relationship. no hard feelings, because if it weren’t for that heartbreak, i wouldn’t have gotten the opportunity to start dating the absolute best boy ever!

onto that. dan’s awesome! i can’t believe how awesome i’ve thought one boy has been for so long. he’s my favorite person in the world. he makes me laugh harder than everyone. i can’t believe how lucky i am to have such an awesome person to share my life with. i feel bad because i’m not the perfect girlfriend that i want to be and feel like i could be. but of course, that comes with the territory. i’m always striving for this whole perfection thing, and failing MISERABLY. haha. it’s not like he expects me to be though, and i know that. i mean, he fell in love with me after i got cheated on, with braces, too much eyeliner, and imperfections completely obvious. and that’s why i’m so lucky to have him. it’s nice to feel no pressure from your boyfriend. i mean, i would NEVER leave the house in anything but perfect clothes, perfect hair, perfect everything, but at the end of the day, sweatpants and band shirts, dan’s here. and i know he thinks i look pretty in 60 dollar dresses and perfect makeup, but i love that we kept the spark through all of this. i still get excited to see him, and when we go out on a date, i still plan my outfit for about 45 minutes. i could gush forever. haha. PUKE.

i really did love the summer, but i really cannot WAIT for fall. i just bought 2 new pairs of jeans and adorable new flats. i also got new rayban thick blame frame glasses. even though i know i say i’m over the whole entire “indie” scene, i’m not going to lie, they look so good! don’t judge me. :0) haha.

i think that was a good update. i hope things are the best for you.
