Start of Something

It is August 8th, 2008 and I am lying in my bed underneath all my covers being a fat American. 

This summer is going wonderfully. JSA Stanford was the best thing I have ever done with my life. I have made numerous un-breakable friendships that I plan on keeping, I have learned more information than I thought I would be able to retain in a one month period, and I have learned a little more about myself.

Yesterday I went to bike night for the first time and it was amazing! I loved it, and it was nice to have the old group back together again. This past week and upcoming weeks are all about re-connecting with friends I missed while I was at Stanford. I'm looking forward to some good days in the next few weeks. Sadly, Claudia's leaving for BC on the sixteenth, and that will not be a good day. Everything is wonderful right now! If only I could get a long with my mom better, hah, it's not too good lately.

IT'S SUMMER!

AND EVERYTHING IS GOOD!
HAVE A GREAT SUMMER EVERYONE!
LOVE LAURA

question:

Everyone is talking about how right now is the "best they've been all year", or they haven't been happier in such a long time!
Do I feel weird that I do not feel the same way?
Yes.
Are things really bad right now?
No, but I'm not super happy, but I want to be! How are you all so happy?

Hopefully things will look up once 24 Hour Relay rolls by.

one more time

everything is happening so fast and it's beautiful but mind blowing at the same time.
i'm enjoying the weather so much. Everything is beautiful right now.
People are really good lately.
I do miss quite a few of you though.
It filled part of my heart to get to see Emilie again. I have missed her so much lately.
Sometimes I have these emotional bursts and I really don't like it. I'll just be sad and it won't be good. Not too often though so it's good.
I like happiness though it's so beautiful there.

HAPPY SPRING BREAK
