That song has been in my head for about a week now. I think something inside my head is trying to tell me that I need to start enjoying my summer, my life. I'm trying damnit! I've done some fun things, but now people are telling me to do more. Like my father...he's like the last person who I would expect to tell me to have some fun for a change. He asked me the other night if I was going to go up to Iowa this summer and I said I don't know because Madeleine and I are both really busy. He said that was too bad, but then said that I should really try to do it...or at least I think he did. He gave me some advice: get a job at the library or some easier campus job and quit Perkins (definately a good idea), then tell whoever I'm going to work for next that I'll start working for them a week after when I could really start. Then take a whole week to go up to Iowa and just relax. A brillant idea to say the least.

I went over to Jason's tonight and that was kind of fun I guess...we popped in the New Orleans band video (former LHS band people who read this remember that?) I hated that trip, even though people there said they had fun. I hated it. I remember worrying about the upcoming midterms when I got back, not swimming for five days and then having to swim in a meet the day after I got back, and also trying my best to avoid Trish Averill (or however you spell her name) because she was after me and I hated it. But watching the video was...entertaining...it was so poorly put together, but I liked watching it as much as going on the trip. By the way, thats not saying much.

Also when I was at Jason's, his roommate Matt came back from a family reunion down in Mississippi and was talking about all the fun he had down there. Maybe what he said about it got me to think more about having more fun this summer. I should really take advantage of it because as we all know, life just doesn't get easier. Might as well enjoy it while I can.
