Mornin'

Nothing better than a fresh cup of coffee in the morning!


And strawberries picked fresh from the garden! As of right now, I have my plane ticket to San Francisco purchased and Dad and I have started planning college visits - I think the idea is to leave right after my SAT on Saturday and come back next Saturday just in time for my ACT. {whoever thought of tests in the summer did so just to torture kids} Right now, I’m getting ready to go out hiking with a friend and then when I come back, I’m going to go out with another friend for ice cream. All in all, should be a much more productive day then yesterday when I finished not only a book, but also the first season of a new show I started :) Today is also my former best friends birthday which has left me in a particularly uncomfortable position…We used to be incredibly close but as of this year, we’ve (for lack of a better word) drifted. Back in April for my birthday, she barely acknowledged my birthday (an emotionless FB post on my wall) and while I don’t want to stoop to her level because no one deserves that kind of disrespect on their birthday, it’s hard to treat someone nicely when they fail to give you common courtesy. What makes it worse is that she, of course, is throwing a big bday bash (with the help of my current best friend) and I am not invited making it the first birthday in 5-6 years that i will not be attending. Oh well, I firmly believe things happen for a reason s maybe it was for the best that we are not friends anymore because now I see a side of her that I never saw before. Either way, I’ll make the best of today!

edit: my friend just called and he’s sick - no hike today :/
