Hello Everybody! I know it's been a really long time since I've blogged, but as I mentioned last time, I've been super busy, and you can probably tell why by the title. Yes, I have moved halfway across the country yet again. I say yet again because this isn't the first time I've moved between Texas and Washington. I guess we can never pick a state, but if it was up to me, I'd just move to Ireland already (If you don't know, I love all things Ireland/UK and I want to move to Ireland after college). Moving is super stressful, annoying, emotional, and so many more things. But I think the worse part about this move is that I didn't even get to go back to say goodbye to anyone. We were on vacation when we made the quick decision to move, so my mom, uncle, and older brother flew back and packed up all of our things, while my little brother and I stayed on our "extended vacation," as we had told everyone. So instead of being able to pack up all of my things (which I would have been absolutely no help anyways because I'm the worst packer in the world, which happens to be quite ironic, considering how many times we've moved), I had to stay here with my family for ten days until my mom returned. Even having to say goodbye to my older brother, who decided he didn't want to move again and decided to move in with some friends, was hard, as I never thought that he wouldn't move with us. To sum up this sob story quickly, let's just say that my life has been anything but easy the past while, and taking the month off of blogging helped eliminated some stress. I know that may sound weird, considering I doubt many people try to read every post of mine, but I didn't want to feel like putting up some crappy little entry every other week, just because I want to keep my blog updated.
Moving on, I appreciate everyone who understands and is okay with my blog becoming sub par recently. But I hope to change that soon, as I really do enjoy writing, and this blog is a nice way to help me feel better. Writing always has a calming effect on me, and that's why I started this blog in the first place. It's almost like therapy to me because I can start writing feeling horrible, and by the end I really do feel a weight lifted off my shoulders.
Now let's try to catch you up on my life, shall we? You didn't miss much, in fact, hardly anything. I mean, YouTube related things happened, and I made some really cool internet friends, but other than that, not a whole lot of exciting things have happened to me. Last week I went and got my new schedule for my new school here and I got most of the classes that I wanted. The only class I didn't get was AP World History (WHAP) and they didn't give it to me because AP classes have summer assignment, and the counselling man didn't think it was something I could do in a few days, since they were already starting to turn things in. Although I totally could have done the whole thing super fast and done amazing on it, I admitted defeat, and he gave me a multicultural studies class, which actually seems like a lot of fun, and it will probably benefit my future more because I want to travel to the world for a living. I'm thinking that I want to be a travel blogger, or somebody that gets to write about all their travels. I just really want to write and travel. But back to high school, my schedule is nice, except I got a map of the school, and after nearly every class, I have to go way across campus to get to my next class. I don't know how I'm going to make it to each class in time, but I get to go tomorrow and tour the school a little and find back ways and such. Also, tomorrow I have to go and get my permit transferred for this state, and find out if I can still get my license on time. That shall be "fun."
Other than getting my school stuff situated, the only other thing I've done is that we went and explored Seattle a little bit on Sunday. We took a ferry up, and that would have been a lot of fun if I 1. Didn't have an anxiety attack because there were so many people (I have really bad social anxiety) and 2. wore a jacket, because the front of the boat is extremely windy. Although it wasn't the most fun experience I've had, I did it enjoy it. Once we got to the city, I was overjoyed. There were so many new things and people to look at, and I couldn't wait to explore. We went down to the pier and I bought a really nice candle, and the guy who made it, went to UT (my dream school), so we talked about that for a while. After the pier, we went to Pike's Place Market, and I was done in .5 seconds. There were people everywhere I looked am I'm surprised I didn't have another attack. After Pike's Place, we went and saw the Space Needle and a cool fountain behind it. By the time we were done, we were exhausted, so we made our journey home. Exploring new places is so much fun, and I really hope I can do more of it soon!
I bet by now you're done with hearing about my life for now, and lucky for you I've run out of things to discuss. I really enjoy blogging, and hopefully I can get back into it now that I've moved and such. School is starting up next Wednesday, and since the schools aren't as academically challenging as schools back home, I most likely won't have all that much homework, allowing me more time to blog and do things that I love.
Stay Grand
