here's what i've done this summer
a.k.a. the long-awaited post-in-the-making
i've finally found the time to share with you a little about what my summer's been about. or, at least what i've done with my free time. i think i've found the time to post mostly because i'm having a bad day and figured this could cheer me a bit.
movies i’ve rented (that i remember):
the libertine
death to smoochy
lost in la mancha
identity
roman holiday
one flew over the cuckoo’s nest
high fidelity
say anything
girl, interrupted
calendar girls
a good year
the sisterhood of the travelling pants
the science of sleep
memento
movies i saw on the big screen:
knocked up
surf’s up
ocean’s thirteen
ratatouille
harry potter and the order of the phoenix
liscense to wed

a mighty heart

in addition to these extracurricular activities, i have completed my 350 hour field ed. internship at new summit presbyterian church; i have attended 3 weddings (was a bridesmaid in one) and will go to 2 more; i have seen lots of old friends (but not nearly enough for not nearly long enough!); i met my second cousin and her husband; i've seen some awesome thunderstorms; i met a ton of awesome people; i've renewed my love for dipped cones from dairy queen; i've seen a larger variety of nasty and gross bugs than i ever want to see again in my life; i've spent way too much money; and i've concocted an amazing adventure that you are sure to hear more about!
