In a way, I need a change from this burnout scene.

Another time, another town, another everything.
I am counting down the days until classes start again. I need something to do with myself, and being busy 24 hours a day/7 days a week is the only thing that’s going to stabilize me. Kind of sad, hey? But I found out that my appeal for my dependency status went through! The government is considering me and independent student this year (and rightly so), so I’m getting a fair amount more financial aid than I was when they were relying on my parents’ income. I’m so relieved. The process was a pain in the ass and it might take a bit longer for the money to get to me so I can buy books, but I really don’t care. It should even leave enough left over so that I can pay off my damn storage unit and be done with it. *happy dance*
Theo has been driving me nuts lately! I was barely home for ten minutes and he had already made my foot bleed. I understand that he’s a kitten and all and he just wants to play, but the scratches I have ALL OVER are ridiculous. He even gets kicked out of my room in the mornings because he thinks six a.m. is a reasonable time to attack my appendages. He’s mistaken.
So, I just started reading The Death and Life of Charlie St. Cloud by Ben Sherwood yesterday, and I’ll have it finished tonight. It’s a quick read, but it’s really good. Zac Efron is starring in the film adaptation that is releasing this weekend, so I wanted to read the book before I see the movie. I’m not sure how well Efron’s going to do as Charlie, but hopefully he does the part justice. I assume the changed the age of everyone in the movie, because in the book Charlie is 28 – Zac Efron’s a cutie and all, and he’s definitely talented, but I don’t think he could pull off 28.
Hum. Dad and I are planning a tubing trip for Saturday! I’m excited. It’s a place down by Turkey Run and we’ll be floating about 3 miles down Sugar Creek. Eeee! Pictures to come, I’m sure. Haha. Yes, I’m that excited about it.
Well, it’s storming pretty good here, so I better wrap this up before I lose power. Happy Wednesday.
But it’s always back to you.

Wear sunscreen! You wouldn’t believe how many times I’ve seen people at Turkey Run who tubed down the creek and didn’t think to put sunscreen on. Your thighs will thank me, lol
Charlie St. Cloud looked like a pretty good movie. I’ll definitely need to get the book from the library.
Tubing sounds so fun! Something I’ve never done… actually, I’ve never really been to a water park either. Oh and make sure you let us know how the movie is! I’ve been wanting to read that book, so i may have to now!
