Well, tomorrow morning, I leave for Appalachia Service Project. We'll be in Kentucky this year. It's exceedingly exciting. It also means that I will be nowhere near any computers, phones, Internet, or iPods for the next week. I'll survive somehow. I think the power tools will help get me through it (the return of the Saw Queen is nigh). And the exceeding amounts of music and stuff will help, too.
I'm SO ready.
I just have to finish packing and find my camera charger and I'm SET.
I think I'm finally ready to accept senior-hood and allow myself to be pumped for summer. I think the reality of ASP is bringing that.
I have a list of addresses in my backpack (the one I will be carrying around the entire summer, not my school backpack), and I got some more stationary today (the blank kind that you can get at CVS), and all I need is stamps, and soon I'll be writing SO many letters that I will not be doing anything else (except for eating, sleeping, using power tools, and partaking in other shindigs of equal degrees of awesomeness).
Anyway, that's my story for now. It's time to go PACK, and then go SLEEP, and then go SAVE THE WORLD!!! (maybe not in that order, and maybe not the last one. I don't know yet. It would be really COOL if I saved the world, but I don't know if I can. I'm not THAT awesome).
YAY SUMMER!!!
This is going to be an ADVENTURE, and it's going to be FUN, and I will LIKE IT. HOORAY! I'm off to sleep and pack and write letters and use power tools and help people and spend a week wearing contact lenses and a bunch of awesome other things.
Also, a word of advice: if you have never seen the musical "A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum," I GREATLY recommend you do so. I saw it last night at my school (It was someone's senior project, and I think the only time he could reserve the black box was after school was out), and it's easily the funniest musical I have ever seen in my life. It's also one of the few shows that has gone up in our black box that doesn't involve things of a dark and depressing nature.
It's one of those shows that lasts two hours, but takes eight hours to explain because all of the situational humor and catastrophes and lies and stories gone wrong and plans screwed up and thinking on one's feet because the worst possible thing just happened at the worst possible moment. It's also one of those shows where you leave with your cheeks hurting because you're laughing so hard. Seriously, it's a pee-in-your-pants, laugh-your-butt-off, nearly-choking-from-laughter kind of show. And you (yes, YOU!) need to see it.
It HAS been made into a movie. GO SEE IT!
