Summer Thus Far

Thursday: Awful. Had to say bye to Elie after two crappy finals. It came way too quickly. Then my dad tortured me on the way home. The new Eagles album is terrible. When I got home I got to play Shadow of the Colossus finally, though. It's great. I think I've defeated five out of fifteen colossi thus far.

Friday: Got my work schedule. Met Isaac and Ashiyah and Robbie and Laura a couple others at the Buzz briefly, then met Isaac at his house and hung out there for awhile. He showed me a book called Finnegans Wake (no apostrophe), which was weird as all hell. Look it up on Wikipedia. We showed each other some music and some YouTube videos. Then I went home for awhile. Then I went to the SHS '09 graduation. It was pretty cool. They got a total of $2.4 million in scholarships! Including one person who got a full ride to Yale, and another who got a full ride to Notre Dame. Ridiculous. Afterwards, many hugs were had with many people. Then, I went to a bonfire at Makaela's, which was relatively low-key, which I liked. We watched Yes Man, which was far better than I thought it'd be. Not just Liar Liar 2.

Saturday: I think I played Final Fantasy X and Shadow of the Colossus most of the day. Then I hung out with Jordan and Makaela at Applebee's that night, rented Dead Alive, watched it at Makaela's with Emma, her friend Max, Jaiden and some friends, and Nick Grinell, who happened to be picking up his brother who happens to be friends with Jaiden.

Sunday: First day back at work! Rather uneventful and slow. Only five hours. Worked with Gabe and Garrett. Talked video games much of the time. Garrett gave me a leftover piece of his Subway pizza, for which I was quite thankful. My dad barbecued and I played some more FFX. That night, I went over to Jonathan's and watched The Office [season 4] with him and Kira. We realized that the next day was National Man Day, and Jonathan and I had much rejoicing.

Monday: Mom woke me up at 7 because the internet guy was coming to install internet. He came about 9ish I think. I'm super sleepy. BUT I HAVE INTERNET. Tried recording some stuff and my computer was being weird so I gave up for today. Called Elie, which I've been doing every day. I miss her a lottttttt. Squirrel Baggers United is not terribly united most of this summer. :( But we are at heart, as always! Tonight, my mom and I are getting pizza. Huzzah! Uhhh... that's about it.

I think I will write analyses of FFX and SotC when I finish them.
