i guess i can't even say i've been busy with things lately because i'm not going back to school. i'm taking the next three months off to work on myself and do things that i want to do. i also need to figure out where i'm going to school fall 2013.i'm kind of nervous that i'm not going to do anything in these three months but sit in coffee shops and mess around.
i got an awesome new job and put in my 2 weeks at my two other jobs. i am kind of sad to go, to be honest, but my new job is fun and pays more and i get better hours. it is at a jewelry/gift shop and there is always lots to do. i like being kept busy.
also, i went to california to attend my grandma's funeral. going to southern california with three kids under the age of ten is weird because everyone wants it to be a party and hang out at the beach but that isn't what we were "supposed" to do. i felt weirdly guilty for enjoying my time there, but i also got to meet one of my longest and best internet friends. here are some pictures.
