Great Weekend

This weekend has ended up being one of the best I've had in as long as I can remember. Complete and utter happiness is what I've been feeling the past two days. Friday night was great, as I mentioned yesterday, and yesterday was a swell day too. After I left Ashley's I drove down to the South Side to meet mom, Jen, Uncle Joe, Aunt Maureen, and Maura. I spent more time in Forever 21 with them than I had planned, but it's all in good fun. I did go into Urban Outfitters but I didn't buy anything, not unusual for my stingy self. After walking around down there we went to the aviary because the movie theater posted the wrong times for the Hunger games. The aviary was pretty chill. There were birds all over the place! After spending some time with the birds we went back to Pap's before heading out to the Carlton for dinner. Oh the things I'd do to be able to afford to eat at the Carlton on a regular basis. Pap dropped around $625 after all was said and done...that would wipe out almost half of my savings...scary stuff.

Dinner was great, the day before that was great, and dessert back at Pap's was great too. Right before we left Pap's, Joyce and Pap asked about visiting Drexel and when I said that we were probably only going to look at St. John's they nearly had a conniption. They ranted about not giving Drexel a fair chance and blah and blah and blah. I heard them out on what they had to say, it's just that this is my decision. And if I like St. John's when I get there, that's where I'll go. That's next weekend's plan, visit college.

It's approaching fast, college that is, and I'm getting a little nervous. The other night Ashley said that in almost exactly four months she'll be leaving for college, and same goes for Amanda and probably Ty too. Last night Ashley asked who of our group of friends i thought I'd stay close to and when I answered I individually named each person. I didn't even realize it, but I said that I thought I'd still be close to them all. I'm not sure whether that's excessive optimism, the truth, or a wicked fairy tale. I hope it ends up being the truth. I love these guys and I want to keep them in my life.

Last night I got to bed really late because i got home really late, but I got six hours so I'm ready to go. I'm a huge fan of the freedoms my parents give me. I feel I've earned them over time and that they trust me not to abuse them. Driving home late at night is something they're fully confident letting me do which is really nice because it allows me to see my friends as much as I want.

Well that's all for now guys. I'll report back later tonight.

Enjoy yourself today everybody because tomorrow will never come if you don't live out today.
