Chicago

Last Sunday my pal Lisa and I decided to meet up in Chicago for the day, so right after church I hopped on the train to the city. I forgot how relaxing and fun the train is. O and also another friend of mine, Emily, was also on the train by coincidence, so that was another plus.

Anywho, Chicago was pretty cool- no real plans, just a lot of walking in the hot summer sun. Hit the predictable attractions- Millenium Park and whatnot, and shopped a smidge on State St. Next time, we'll have a better plan and hit up some more interesting spots.

Moving on to today- hung out with Lauren D. We ran some errands, then got some people together for a kithcen sink at Colonial- noice.

As always, work is lame, although I'm done in one week, which is just lovely. I'm looking forward to actually trying to get some trips together (Wisconsin and whatnot). Hopefully that will all work out.

It's almost over kids- get your tans on while it lasts.

Let Them Eat...

Cake. So yea, a couple of days ago, we decided to bake, something which I haven't done in quite some time. Back in the day, it seemed liked we would bake cake and other treats just about everytime we met up- yea we were tre chic ha. Anywho, instead of the usual yellow cake and choco frosting, we went with a something different this time. Twas vanilla cake with butterceam frosting and a layer of strawberry jam- the recipe was on the side o the box, however our cake didna come out quite as perfect as the picture on said box.

I'm guessing that any remnant of my coolness just went out the window with this last post...all about cake... meh.

A Midsummer Recap

Downtown CL Clock- all hail to the quiant pleasant suburb.

Yup, it has once again been a-hwhile, but...meh. Things have been good- not overly awesome, but fun and relaxing nonetheless. I'm watching Ace of Cakes right now, so it's all good and dandy.

Anywho, work's been fine- I'm working a little more than planned right now since one dishwasher was fired and another (the fired guy's brother) quit. Now that's some sibling love. Well at least I'm making bank...bitches...ha.

Other than work, there's not much more to speak of. Just doing the same old with the amigos- it's nice because I get off work at 6PM at the latest, leaving me the night.

So yea, now you know.

Crzzzystal Lizzake

It's been ahwhile, but with good reason. My brosef got a new laptop and took the internet hub with him...down into the basement. Therefore, my computer -on the second floor- has now been temporarily handicapped netwise.

Being home has been fine. Things are pretty slow, but are speeding up- Jess and Shai are home today, so that's a plus. The band's starting to come together- relearning the piano is tough sometimes, but fun.

As for a job, I got called in yesterday to start at Finn McCool's- it was kinda haphazard. They had just fired someone and called me in to replace him. Although it's less hours and the same position I had than last summer (dishwasher), I got to start earlier this time around and now for higher wage.

M'kay then, until again.

Outtie

Greenhouses- won't be walking past these again until August.

Done with finals- made it out pretty well. I think I salvaged a B(-) in chemistry, knock on wood. Yup, so my parents will be coming in aboot 12 hours- hopefully I can just sleep until then so I don't hafta wait. Pretty excited, but not for moving back in- lotsa shat I gotta move...ughm. It's been a good year indeed. Let's hope the next will be even more splendid. That would be prime.

Next post from the CL :)

Last Few Days

So I haven't had a final since friday, and my last one is tomorrow, which means that I spent the last couple days doing absolutely nothing. Actually, I did do some stuff on the weekends- bar and party, blah blah blah- but SunMonTues was one big blurred and boring mesh of lethargic mornings (1PM mornings that is), haphazard studying, and urges to do something outdoors. I've been running just so I can say I did something with the beautiful days, and to, well, just get out of the room in general ha.

Anywho, chemistry final tomorrow- been studying, but it's still gonna be a photofinish grade wise (B-/C+). I took the practice final and did pretty well, but then again we were told that the practice final was not a good measure of readiness for the actual final- I think that's effed up. I mean, for kreest sake, give us something a little more pertinent. Whatever, just thinking positive, aiming for that B- and the chance to stay a James Scholar.

Done for the school year tommorow, home on Friday. It's been really good, really fun, really quite noice. I'm gonna miss the people, the atmosphere, and the parties ha. But seriously, I will never look at a plastic solo cup the same way ever again.

Lullaby

Sing me the song that will bring eternity;
Show me the song of the stars.
Make me a lullaby from the sparrow's call
with the wind as the harmony high.

Sing of the dew drops on green grass this morn;
of the dancing autumn leaves.
Turn bubbling waves into lovely ballads
with lighting a heavy bass.

Paint me a picture of the world as it is
as it was
as it will be,
and I will be forever greatful.

Sing me the song that will bring eternity,

and I shall ever love you.
