"A-Punk" by Vampire Weekend

so less than a month left until school starts and I must say I'm excited.

I love my family and friends here and will miss them dearly, but there is something so inviting about school. I mean, I'll have an awesome roommate, and even though a number of my friends will be gone, I know there will be plenty of people I know still there, and plenty of people to meet.

I don't know what I'm doing in the mean time, it seems like the need to be in a relationship is spreading through the Young Proffessionals group at church and the thing is that none of them is near my age group. So even if I did like one of them, and there is definitely one I enjoy talking to and being around.

Point being that I have never understood why exactly this happens I mean first its one couple then two, and before you know it they're everywhere, and I guess my big issue is that I don't have any chance to establish a meaningful relationship in the next 20 days or so. Even if I did have the confidence for such a thing.

thats all just a little venting.

The song of the day is "A-Punk" by Vampire Weekend, because it reminds me of good times had at school.

"Fly Me to the Moon" by Frank Sinatra

I finally got a job at Zaxby's; its a pretty easy job, too. I press buttons, in fact I'm fairly certain that ,if it weren't for all the poo-slinging, monkeys would be doing this job. The people are alright, except for James. His name is James, and he is under the impression that everything he thinks should be verbalized and that every instruction he gives is infallible, but his most annoying trait is that whenever a cute girl shows up he makes an excuse to go out and then talks to her. I just wish that he would bring back trays or clean a little while he's out there, especially since he works drive thru and has no business going out there in the first place.

I can't believe that there's little more than a month left til school start. I'm pumped. Don't get me wrong home is nice, but I can't wait to be back at Harding, I miss the atmosphere; I miss hanging out and just chatting with people; I even miss learning. I'm excited, because I'll get, too, see old friends, and get to make some new ones. I've already kinda started I know a few people who will be freshman next year. There's this one girl, Emily, who is awesome, I haven't technically met her yet, but if she's as awesome in person, we'll be cool. If nothing else she loves Demetri Martin.

It hit me yesterday how awesome it will be having Preston as a roommate. He wants us to try to knock out the IMDB top 250 while at school. While I love the spirit of the plan, I think we need to cut it down to maybe the top 100 or top 50 because 250 is just alot that would be about two movies a day or something. Regardless, I can't wait, because he gets so passionate about things, which is just a great quality to have.

I am a little disappointed in how my summer has turned out. It had so much potential, but without getting a job until so late most of that potential has been lost. I'm looking forward to Ney-a-ti, I love helping with the kids as crazy as they are.

The song for the day is "Fly Me to the Moon" by Frank Sinatra, because no one sings it better.
