I'm glad it's summer. I've gotten a ton of volunteer hours done, and I've been earning money from helping my dad and cousins paint the window frames of our local church. I'm also brushing up on water colour painting skills. Get it? Brushing up?

I'm also taking up belly dance to get back in touch with my body...I miss my body.
So I feel pretty good about summer. It's taking my mind off of other things. It just feels nice to be doing something fulfilling. At school everything feels either dull, depressing, frustrating or frightening.
The atmosphere at school is monochrome and repetitive. There's no colour, and no real meaning in anything. Maybe there's a little bit of liveliness in some classes, but at school I'm never relaxed enough to fully enjoy it.

But it's over for now and I can breathe a sigh of relief and say...yay for summer.
