When Days Are Long and Nights Are Not For Sleeping

I don't think I have ever been as excited for summer as I am this year. Sad thing is: it's only March. *Sigh...* Seriously, though, I'm working on a list of things I'm going to do.

1.Re-read Harry Potter.
Okay, so this is kind of a huge undertaking, since it took me about a year to read the series the first time, but I want to see how far I can get in one summer. Honestly, I just plan to read a lot. Harry Potter or not.

2.See my old friends
Along with going to a new co-op this year, I have gained lots of friends and, unfortunately, started losing others. I don't think I have completely lost any that I care about, but I never see half of my old friends anymore. I desperately want to hang out with them, and I am determined to do it this summer.

3.Church-y things.
Like every summer, I plan to help with my church's VBS and a Choir Camp that we do ever year. I missed one year of Choir Camp, thinking that I wouldn't miss it. It was torture. I'm never doing that again. In addition to these, though, I'm hoping to be a counselor at the camp that I went to for three years. I haven't actually gotten the job yet, but I have fingers crossed.

4. Swim.
I didn't get to go swimming at all last summer. Well, I swam in the ocean, but that doesn't quite count. That's more like getting tossed around by waves and trying not to swallow salt water. I want to go swimming in a pool. Thankfully, my best friend just had a pool put in her backyard. (*SCORE!*)

5.Write.
I have been writing the same book for about a year and a half now. I'm kinda stuck with what I want to happen. I know how I want it to end, I just don't know how to get there. Plus, the way I want it to end, I have to pass about five months of "story time". Ugh... It's going to turn into "And March passed with nothing of consequence happening." BOOOOOORINGGGGGG So, yeah. I need to make a clear-er blueprint and, hopefully, finish this book. Well, okay, finishing is a little optimistic.

6.Hang with my dance girls.
So, every year at recital my friends and I are like "We HAVE to hang out this summer!!!" ......And then we never do. SUCKS. I've decided that this needs to change.

7.Clean/organize my room.
Okay, so I know this sounds really stupid, but I seriously need to organize. And clean. GAAHHHH!!!! I need to see my floor! Funny thing is, I'm not an organized person-well, I'm turning into one. My Western Civ. teacher is influencing me- but my room has been messy for too long. And, I mean, I'll clean it over spring break, but I really need to all-out organize. And throw things away. And get rid of old clothes. MY GOSH I need to get rid of old clothes. I don't have any room left in my dresser. Okay, moving on.

8.Take pictures.
So, I have this really nice Nikon D100 camera that I got FOR FREE last fall, and since New Years, it's been sitting around in my room collecting dust. This sucks. I need to see friends and dress them up all pretty and take pictures of them. And have them take pictures of me. Let's face it, I need new pictures for my Facebook profile picture.

Okay, so there's probably more, but I've bored you for long enough.
Wishing summer would arrive,
Lisa

P.S. I seem to be going on a list rampage with my blog recently...
