Ok, I broke down and decided to update.

This summer has flown by!!! In a week, I will be on my way back to Tuscaloosa to start my sophomore year. Excited but not at the same time. Weird?

Imnotreadyimnotreadyimnotready, I only have 2 more shifts at work. Pretty ECSTATIC about that. I need to start moving my junk downstairs and get it organized, but I just don't feel like it yet.

Tonight at dinner, Olivia instructed us to "Superman dat ho"

I've seen a lot of old friends in the past couple of weeks. It's been really great/really sad/a big eye opener to how much I grew up this year. I FINALLY got to see Jenn's baby today. It was SOOOOOO good to see her. I didn't realize until today how much I miss her.

Also I miss Suze. A lot. :(

Next summer I am going to work at Disney World.

This was the most random post of my life, but it's a post, so that's all that matters, right?

This is the first summer in 11 years that I will not be going out to Winnataska.

Sure, I'll make a couple trips out for grail. . . . but I won't spend more than a couple hours out there all summer. This reality hit me two weeks ago when Pressler called me to tell me what an amazing week she was having out there. And when I started looking at everyone's facebook pictures. And the daily pics on the website. Especially the ones of Asthma Camp.

It's weird. I was POSITIVE that this was what I needed to do. And I guess I still am. . . I really need the money I'd lose if I gave up a week of work. At the end of last summer, I was so sick of all the drama that I never wanted to go back again! But then this summer started, and I started seeing pictures online of kids I've been a leader for since they were itty bitty, and I couldn't help but wish I was out there with them. I miss it a lot!!

If I had to do it over again, I think that I would've gone out to Asthma Camp. Those three days last summer were the best. Most of the kids that get to go to Asthma Camp are from inner-city Birmingham, and are only able to go to camp because they are on scholarships to learn how to control their asthma. A lot of them don't come from Christian homes, and those three days are the only days in the year that they get to hear abour Jesus. And I was able to be a part of that! It was a very different week from all the rest last summer. And I loved it. The thought that I may have been able to play a small role in leading even one girl to Christ is mind boggling! It's something I would love to be able to be a part of again.

So, last night, my Bible study leader, Angel, told me about this camp that she's working at this summer. It's in New York and it's for inner city kids with special needs. And they're short workers and are desperate for help. And it pays almost exactly what I need to earn this summer.

Ever since I learned about it, I can't stop thinking about it! I really don't think I can do it. . . .I'd have to leave this week, and I wouldn't get back until August 20. . . 2 days before classes start! But it's so PERFECT! I can't help but think that this is a God thing. If not for this summer, then next? Part of me would love to be spontaneous and just get up and go, but the real Sarah is terrified of just jumping up and going to New York for eight weeks without any planning at all.

This is nuts. Life is crazy. God is awesome. I love and hate not knowing what His plan is for me. So for now, I guess I'm just left praying. We'll see what happens!

Today I taught Mia to say "ROLL TIDE!" It's the cutest thing ever.

After she started saying it, Olivia came up to her and said, "Mia, in this country, there is a bad thing to say: War Eagle."

So yeah, there are babies EVERYWHERE, but I like 'em. They keep me entertained.

I spent the afternoon at Chuck E Cheese's. Mmmmmm. Played quite a few very intense games of ski ball.

Worked tonight. My feet hurt.

I miss my Amigas. :(

19 days until I get to see Suze!!!

My goodness it's been a long time!! Believe me, I was tempted to get on here a BUNCH during finals week, but I used some self control and restrained myself.

So anyways, now I am a SOPHOMORE. Whoop-dee-doo

Got a job this week at New York and Company. Should be super fun. . . . road trippin with them to the Ham twice this week. Pretty excited about that.

Mia is basically the cutest thing ever. I LOVE her.

I miss my friends. A lot. Texas is a long way away. Birmingham feels just as far.

But I'm already having a lot of fun being home. And the pool is opening on Thursday!

Summer is just beginning. . . .

Ho hum. It's the night before a test. . . two, actually . . . so of course I am on Xanga.

My parents and Hannah and Olivia are in China right now. Just got there a few hours ago. They might be in Wuhan now, so I hopefully will be hearing from them SOON. For anyone who knows me, you should understand how awful today has been for me not being able to talk to my mom at all!! Gah and I have to go 2 weeks like this! :(

But by Sunday I will be the oldest of SIX kids. . . I'll have a new sister! YAAAAAAY!!!

I am in a serious funk right now. Partly because I miss my mom, partly because I have these two exams looming over my head. I'm taking a crash course in organic tonight. Woooooohooo.

After the tests are over, I'M LEAVING FOR DESTIN! Yaaaaaaaaaaaay!! It will be a MUCH needed break! AH!

And I guess that's about it in the life of Sarah right now. I could use a break right about now. . . . just sit and CHILL and do NOTHING.

Ehh. . . why chill when you can learn about frog sex? I mean, seriously.
