i've got a tight grip on reality, but i can't let go of what's in front of me here

I have a week until i leave for camp. What does this mean? One week until pure bliss. Anyways, the title of this post is from the song The Only Exception aka my current favorite song. The lyrics are fantastic and it's just an all around good song. I'm currently cuddled up in bed trying to sleep, but something is keeping me awake. I have absolutely no clue what it is. Maybe it's just that I have a lot to do right now. I have work every day at 8 15 am. I have to start packing. I have to buy a banquet dress. I have about 1,000 appointments this week. Whatever. I just was thinking about what this week was like last year. My life was completely different. I was friends with different people. I had different goals. I had all these worries about what high school would be like. It's bizarre how much your life can change in 365 days. I should probably get some sleep. Sorry to those who read this (if any one reads this). I haven't been posting often at all and my posts have been bland and quite meaningless. I'm not sure if it's writers block or maybe I just am starting to feel a tad bit repetitive.
I never really post pictures of things so I decided to start this time.


this is the place of bliss i will be in 7 days.



my girls (:

if i don't post before i leave have an amazing month. i leave july 25 and i'm back august 14.
with love, sydney

Summer Lovin'

Hey cyberspace! (: As you may have noticed I haven't been on in quite a while. I've been crazy busy with my new beach house and starting my job and getting ready for my final summer as a camper in the place I call home. (camp)Summer Lovin' is the title of this post. Why? Cause I've got crazy summer lovin'. When it comes to love I'm generally a pessimist, but recently my thoughts have been changed. For example my previous rule which I call the "why bother having a boyfriend when you know you're just going to break up" rule has been thrown away. I'm crazy about commitment. Well not crazy, but you get what I'm saying. Anyways, why the sudden change in opinion? Of course it was a boy! He's not the typical guy that a girl dreams of sweeping her off her feet, but the cutie best friend that everyone can lean on. He's smart,funny,kind hearted, sarcastic, and we just click. It's almost like within the blink of an eye I found someone who can change me. This is the first time I don't want to "hook up and run". I want to spend time getting to know him and all that cheesy crap that no one ever really wants to work on, but expects to just happen. Now I'm no love expert trust me. But this is the kind of thing that I think a lot of people should be doing. Why waste your time having meaningless flings when you could find someone who makes you feel like you're floating through air? It's a great feeling. I don't even mind waking up at seven for work as long as we have our nightly phone call. It's great. Summer 2010 is going to be incredible.
Until Next Time,
Sydney
