This is life.

I am: Productive.

That’s right.

Since Friday, I’ve

Read the FEE articles
Wrote two FEE essays
Cleaned a lot more of my room
Cleaned a lot of my bathroom

Okay, that doesn’t sound that productive. But, considering the state of my summer, it is. Anyways, my friends and I are going to the beach today. Hopefully, I’ve learned something since my last meeting with a day at the beach and not get burned.

Fischerspooner - Just Let Go

It's July!

The 4th to be exact.

I watched fireworks in Red Bank last night with Kelsey and Diana.

And sat on the train coming from NYC for almost 2 hours. I had to sit under the armrest squished into the window, since the man that sat down next to me took up 1.3333333.. seats. It wasn’t funny and hurt quite a lot.

A cop tripped me in the station after i got a mango smoothie.

I ate strawberries in Union Square bought from Whole Foods. I ate mango sorbet and strawberry gelato at Ferraro’s. I ate pasta at some other place. I met Howie and Jesse after making it down to Little Italy after getting off at Prince Street from the W.

I swam. I surfed, or at least got better at my attempts.

I cleaned, somewhat.

I got a 4Runner.

And basically that is my week going backwards in its entirety: Friday to Monday.

Damiera - Teacher, Preacher

Today I bought a wetsuit.

Then I had my first surf lesson.

It is interesting that even after all these years of swimming and living by the shore, I have never actually floated on anything in the ocean. The sensation is really quite weird to me. I guess it will go in time. At least I’m close to standing up.

There is something seriously crooked about this picture.

Hi.

So this is where it begins.
