so i havent updated in months, but i think its pretty important to come back to say happy birthday to my favorite boy in the world. hey brett bonner mielke, i love you, and im happy you're 21, and i came back to livejournal to tell you that.
im done with my third year of college. only one left. fucking weird man. i have the next two and a half days to see as many people up here that i can, so that should be interesting. i had to say goodbye to colin today. also interesting. i move out on saturday. still don't know where i'm living next year. pretty scary. then i go home for a week, see my family and baby brother as much as i can, hang out at my new house in westwood. next saturday my dad and i leave for france. he stays for a week, i study there for a month after that, and then alison roman will come and we will run away to spain for three weeks. barcelona and madrid, specifically. is my life real? honestly, i cant even comprehend what is going to happen this summer. and possibly jamaica at the end? (maybe maybe maybe, just a prospect at this point) all in all, life is good. im glad to be done with school. and now im going to drink some fat tire, sit on my couch, feel the breeze coming in from the beach, listen to my windchimes, and just reflect on how many things i have to be thankful for. this sure is an interesting time in my life.
so today i realized that i have really awesome, attractive friends. okay fine, i always knew that. but i just saw all these pictures and i felt like sharing =) ( all photos courtesy of phannguyen paparazziCollapse )
yesterday i went home because sky, the dog i have had since i picked her out of a litter at age 10, was very sick. we took her to the vet, and found out she had cancer, and we had to put her to sleep. it was one of the saddest days my family has had in a long time, and we all cried all day because she was the best friend we could have possibly asked for. i will miss her so much, and anyone that has ever met here will understand why.
i was on the phone with my dad but our conversation got cut short due to the commencement of my class. so i texted him, just to wrap up what we were talking about, and said "dori is so out of her mind." and he responded with "true that." after class i called him and told him that message made me laugh, because since when does he say true that? and his response: "im speaking from the hood, baby." (uncontrollable laughter.) "what the fuck does that mean dad?" "i got the rap down, baby."
this morning i got an email from ucdavis summer abroad program with a big Congratulations! on top. basically this means i'll be living in Paris for half the summer. im probably the happiest person in the world right now
