eighteen days.

I haven't written in a while, as there hasn't been too much to write about in my very adventurous life in Irvine. As for my summer to-do list, I can check off most of the things I set out to do. It has been quite a productive summer; you can accomplish quite a lot when you're not doing anything else. I've read, painted, made kubb, scrapbooked my time in Europe, watched countless hours of television, sold things on amazon and ebay, cleaned, babysat, and taught swim lessons. This is how I keep myself entertained, alongside thinking about my life and other pointless things. But it's about time; I am very ready to go back to Walla Walla.

I have 18 days left until I leave. Though I am excited to go back, I also want to savor what I have left of my relaxation in California. There will probably never be another time when I will be as relaxed and duty-free as I am now. These days will be filled with swim lessons, babysitting, reading, netflix, camping (hopefully) and hiking, a visit to my grandparents, dinner with my grandma, and lots of family time.
