It's hard to believe that summer is almost over and that school starts back on Tuesday. While I'm almost a little excited, I'm also very nervous because Mrs. Willis gives me nightmares already and I'm not even filling out applications yet. Maybe Mrs. Willis gives me nightmares because I am not filling out applications yet. Oops.

Monday, however, will be an awesome last ever last day of summer before school in grade school. I'll get a haircut and a pedicure and eyebrow wax and then head over to Marble Slab and get the double-dark chocolate ice cream and have them put strawberries in it. And then I will go to Fresh Market and take a vacation from Alabama's atmosphere and buy some unnecessarily expensive "organic" food that I will feel good eating later.

I want to go to New York City. I want to have an apartment with Noah and have pretty kitchen things and he can teach me about film and I can teach him about biology. I want to see art and shows and go to film festivals and museums and zoos. I want to be around and learn about culture and see lots of fashion and try new foods and have all my firsts. I'm so excited for the future. You don't even know.
