| so, i visited bama. needless to say, i loved it.. as any normal person
would. BUT i'm pretty positive i won't be going there. i mean.. i
really LOVED it, but if the best i could MAYBE get is a scholarship for
1,250 a semester.. and it costs an estimated 6 or 7 thousand A
SEMESTER.. shoot, i can't do it. i don't want to have to take out loans
and stuff.. so i may end up just staying here and going to UAH. just
tuition and books will cost enough on its own. but who knows what will
happen.
now i have to go run some last minute errands and finish packing.. then destin, here we come! :]

| so, it's been a while since my wanting to quit babysitting, and i HAVE quit. :] i'm done for the summer and it feels great.
i can't remember everything that's gone down since a long time ago.. but i'll think of the real good stuff.
-skylor's birthday party, because he had SO many fun things (the
moonbounce and gigantic slide and the magician.. not to mention the
snowcone maker..)
-went to see i now pronounce you chuck and larry with lodino and hannah.
-also went to see transformers! with.. tucker, beatty, and aerial.
-had the gamma phi delta car wash! it rained, but that's okay. people were nice and let us wash their cars anyway.
-had the gamma phi delta cookout and sleepover last night. i loved the
sleepover. who DOESNT love gossiping and giving out tips you read in
cosmo? :]
-went to nashville with lodino and hannah to see James' show that he
directed, Edges. it was amazing.. there were 2 girls and 2 guys and the
girls especially were so great. not to mention it was just hilarious.
-ate fried cookie dough egg rolls with chocolate sauce and ice cream!
-threw corinne a little miniature party at her pool thanks to lodino
the hostess. it was real cute.. complete with sparkling pink lemonade,
cookie cake, fruit plate.. and rafts!
-had a "sisters" night and went to red robin for dinner, then changed clothes and played on the playground at mcgucken :]
-had a lot of great nights with tucker. because.. he's.. well, the list goes on too long.
pretty much, i just love my life even though it's ridiculously stressful sometimes.
the near future is going to be GREAT! on monday i'm probably going to
tuscaloosa to get the "tide pride" tour and it'll hopefully help me
figure out where i wanna go to school.
then.. i have to pack and clean my room, because it's DESTIN TIME come wednesday! :]
i'm so excited. seriously.. you have no idea. i can't wait to lay
around at the beach all day, take naps with tucker whenever i feel like
it, eat dinner like a fat person, go shopping at all the outlets.. i'm
just ecstatic.

| skylor taylor is a spoiled brat and that's that.
even though babysitting him pays good money.. i'm thinking real hard about quitting soon.
it's the end of the summer.. i should be having fun, not being KICKED in the face by a 6 year old.
i really wanted to kick him back. but i didn't. and when i told skylor
that i was going to tell his parents, he told me that they wouldn't
believe me anyway and they'd think i was lying.
he makes me think that i'm gonna be a horribly mean mom.. but my kids better not act like that, period.
children learn their characteristics from their parents, and they learn
good and bad habits. if the kid didn't get everything that he asked for
24/7, so much that i have no idea what to buy him for his birthday
because he has everything, then maybe he'd stand a chance.
but no, he's a hampton cove kid who's gonna turn out to be a sissy who
gets a credit card when he turns 16. he's already told me that "it's
impossible to run out of money if you have a credit card, so why don't
you have one cayce?!"
ahhhh. what i wouldn't give to be able to predict the future.

| so it's official. i'm an idiot. but that's okay. :] i got my AP US
History exam score back.. hahaha, i made a 2. which isn't a 1, but
isn't a 3. soo i will be taking the class in college unfortunately,
along with probably every other person that was in my class this year,
except for matthew and chase. because they're geniuses and they don't
count.
not much has gone down this week, other than my babysitting only THREE
days because i somehow got 2 days off. Which was great, but also
sucked.. cuz i only made 216 dollars this week. which brings me to a
better topic, i finally think i'm "responsible" enough to get a debit
card. soo tomorrow i'm gonna go get that straightened out :]
i saw harry potter the night that it opened, loserrr i know. but it was
pretty good. i didn't think it was nearly as good as any of the others,
but oh well. maybe i'm just being critical. normally i don't notice
when my butt goes numb in those movies, and i definitely did in this
one.
i have to clean my room tomorrow. like, intensely. my mom made me the
same offer she made alan- senior year means new room furniture. sooo i
first have to clean out my room before i can do all THAT stuff.. who
knows if i will though. i may just save that money for when i go to
college. i really have no idea if i'm going away or not.. BAH too many
decisions.
i'm not ready to be a senior, in the least. i'm not ready to actually
be fully in charge of gamma even though i already am. i'm not ready to
get my senior portrait done, and i can't get my hair cut until july
27th so i don't even know how i'll do it before school. i'm not ready
to be the person that is looked at as a "role model" of the school,
even though the seniors never are. but i believe they're actually
expecting A LOT from our grade this year.. which could be bad. i'm not
ready for back to school shopping.. or shopping for school supplies,
because it just seems somewhat pointless to get all these organized
binders when i KNOW what will happen by the end of the first semester.
but oh well. i guess i better get over it, because.. hey, look at
me.. i'm a senior.

| today started out pretty ordinarily.. i sold magazines all day going
from doctor to doctor and finally made about 300 dollars. then i headed
to tucker's and we went to casa blanca. still pretty ordinary. as
usual, i didn't finish my whole meal and had a cheese quesadilla and
chips left over, so we got that and a sweet tea to go and headed to big
spring park. we wandered around for a long time, taking in everything..
but also looking for someone to give the food to. eventually, we gave
up.
driving back to tucker's house, he all of a sudden was like "man, that
guy's blind.." so we stopped the car and he went and talked to him (i'm
too scared most of the time haha) and the guy told him that he'd been
blind for 5 years, and that his wife died 2 years before that. he was
apparently being really positive and talking about God and how God gave
him a place to sleep (under the parkway somewhere) but that it was
really hard.. this whole time he was up near a wooded area and he
thought he was on a sidewalk. he said that he had 55 cents to his name,
but that God was good. Tucker helped him down the stairs to the
sidewalk and gave him the food, which the man thanked him over and over
for. He told tucker that God sent Tucker there.. and he thanked him
again by saying "thank you mr. tucker" (really cute. haha) point of
story.. the man about cried telling tucker about his life and about his
wife dying.. and i felt horrible. i take advantage of so many things..
i think we'll make it a habit of doing that. and maybe i won't be so scared to join next time.
