I am totally having that moment when you think, "Wow, I'm really glad I'm not that person." Oh BOY, some people just really have a knack for making themselves look like idiots. Don't get me wrong, we all have our moments, but some people are just so off the mark when it comes to human interaction that you can't help but feel sorry for them. I think it's the obliviousness that gets to me. I just don't understand how some people can be so completely and utterly unaware of others. That, to me, is truly bizarre and sad.

Broke is no joke.

I don't know what the hell is wrong with me, but I have been on a spending rampage all summer. If I want something, I just buy it, and this is troublesome mostly because it is very unlike me! Normally, I'm very careful with money, but I've found myself using the "I really deserve this" line as justification for my frivolity. What in the world is going on here?

Anyway, I have literally $11 to last me until this Friday, which doesn't seem difficult except when I consider how I had to scrape just to get the $11 in the first place. Well, I didn't scrape exactly, but it was $11 that was not readily available to me! And I do not believe in borrowing money. Credit cards are a different story, but borrowing money from others is one thing I absolutely hate to do. I have no qualms really with lending money, but I don't like feeling indebted to anyone.

School starts again soon and all it makes me think is that this summer went by really slowly and really quickly at the same time. So I guess that means it went by at an average pace? I don't know. I just remember that when summer break started, I couldn't WAIT to have time to do anything and everything. I've done some cool stuff over the last couple of months, but now it feels like crunch time and I'm trying to think of what else I can squeeze in before August 24. I'm thinking a baseball game, a trip to the beach, a picnic maybe.

I'm giving myself more personal time this semester. Last spring, I thought I'd be hospitalized for exhaustion--no joke. I was pushing myself so hard and some days, I literally had no sleep. I knew it was bad when I found myself relating to Elizabeth Berkeley in that episode of "Saved by the Bell" when she's taking caffeine pills and sings "I'm So Excited" to Zack before bursting into tears while sobbing, "I'm...so...SCARED." Yeah, spring semester was intense to say the least. I'm really hoping to do well in the fall.
