Time to Update?

This summer has been very chill, but I've been told by certain family members that the occasional "I'm alive" update would be appreciated. Although most of you are on Facebook now, so...

This summer has been filled with day trips to beaches, friend's houses, etc. I'm not sure why, but I seem to forget my camera everywhere I go. It's sad, because there have been some good photo-ops. I went paintballing for the first time. I (since I bruise if the wind blows too hard) got bruises on my arms and legs from getting shot, but the real pain was in my neck/shoulders. I'm not sure why, maybe from holding the gun or how I was standing, but it was worth it anyway.

I'm still working on convincing my dad to get us a dog. As far as I can tell, he's not wavering. He says maybe in 14 years.

School is quickly approaching. I'm not ready. I need to pack and review all my course materials from last semester, as well as prepare mentally and emotionally for this coming year, as it promises to be uber stressful and busy. On Tuesdays/Thursdays I'll have a class from 6:30am-3:30pm (which is crazy, but part of being a nursing student), but on Fridays I'll be done with class at 10:50am (woohoo!). Unfortunately, though, my schedule probably won't allow me to be on the hip hop team this year :(

I got my bridesmaid's dress for the wedding, but there will not be any pictures (cough Julie cough) because it still needs altered and it's in York, PA right now.

I got invited to a wedding in Boston in September and I feel really adult, because the invite was for "Whitney Maust," not "The Maust Family." I'll be going if I find someone willing to road trip it with me.

"So You Think You Can Dance" (the dance version of "American Idol" and my guilty pleasure) is a highlight of my summer. I got my mom sucked in, and we are going to see the top 10 dancers on tour in October (WOO!).

I suppose that's all. I don't update here often, so if anyone ever does want to catch up between postings you are always free to call me to chat. As for now, it's dinner time. Pasta. Mmm.
