WHAT NOW... ?

Hi again. Well, guess what? It's officially the end of the year; which means that school's out, and summer has finally begun. Let's just say, I'm a little heartbroken. I'm not returning to the same school next year, which really sucks. But then again, I'm kicking off new adventures and journeys, so you can miss me, but just don't worry. For those of you who are reading this, don't fret, I'll see you all again very soon, and hopefully I'll keep in touch with a lot of you. For now, I'm not sure where I am going, or who I am going to meet, or even become, but just know that I'm thinking of all of you. 

BKLYN > MANHATTAN

Well, today was fun. It was Journey Day today; which basically means we chose an activity to do over the course of the day, with a teacher (or three), and other students who chose the same. I chose to go "Between Brooklyn and Manhattan" because, well, brooklyn. We walked the Brooklyn Bridge, got pizza, and rode on the carousel. [Because, well, you know, we're kids still] ... kind of.

Although the sun wasn't very good to us, (*cough* it was *cough* 92º fahrenheit), we still had a great time. There was a lot of picture taking, pizza eating, and getting wet along the shore. Plus, the shade and the few breezes really was quite lovely while it lasted.

You may not realize it, but there are many shades of blues and greens and grays in Brooklyn. Because of the East River, there's blue waters and little tides. And the green, well, there's just more trees in Brooklyn. At least more trees than downtown New York City (which is a pity). Hah I can rhyme. Oh well, I'm exhausted. It's definitely time for a nap ... or a movie, at my friend's house. (Which I am looking forward to).

DAYDREAMING

Have you ever had those days where you feel like everything is absolutely perfect? Where it seems like nothing could get any better, and nothing can be any different, and all you can do is daydream and feel completely serene? It doesn't really happen as often as it used to, but I have those days.

This day [about a month ago actually], has been one of the best days I've had in a while. My dad woke me up, told me he rented a car, and that we were going on a road trip. At the time, I was feeling somewhat ill, but I went anyway. First, we went to Storm King, which is literally the best "museum" ever. It's a outdoor art center, and it's 500 acres, and you can ride bikes, and you can walk, and there's sculptures, and there's other sculptures that you can bang a mallet on, and there's art. there's art everywhere.

Then, we went to Dia:Beacon. (And just to be clear, I love museums. Museums are fun, okay). The photos [above] were from when we went there. My favorite exhibits are the ones in the basement; it's dark and eerie and you can take so many fantastic pictures down there, it's crazy. You're not really supposed to take pictures, but our family doesn't exactly follow museum rules anyway, so it's ey-okay.

Let's just state this as a fact: good days, are the best days (or at least for me). Going through my first couple teenage years (what.), has been, to some extent, difficult, because it's new. There's so much drama, and problems, and constant running around to get everything done right, there's just too much spinning through my head. Days like this, where there's no thinking, no worrying, no deep sighs (unless in contentment), are the ones that are most satisfying. I crave these days; they are hard to come by.

REVIVES

I've decided to restart. I just need to leave whatever was behind, and start anew. Maybe if I just think differently and not try so hard to make a blog post every other day, it will be easier for me to write eloquent entries. I know for sure that this blog will most definitely be somewhat thriving throughout the summer, because there is no school, and I'm not doing anything at all in that time frame, but until then, my schedule is completely packed with end-of-the-year studies and essays.

Like always, I'm still hesitant about what this blog will specifically be on, but for now, it's just pictures and possibly recipes. In the summertime, maybe it will switch to design too? Who knows, it's all up in the air. Some posts may just be my writing? My mom has wanted me to keep a notebook to write down all of my teenage troubles (not including my small social life...woops). Okay, no worries everyone, I'm still here.
