Well, I'm home from my month-long trek through Europe. We walked almost 200 miles. It was fun, amazing, and worth it. We did lots of cool stuff, saw lots and LOTS of really cool things. I got to see some of my favorite sculptures and paintings with my own eyes. We saw palaces, a prison, and many famous monuments. It was definitely something I'll never forget. For those of you who followed the blog, hope you liked it. I won't be posting any pictures here, because that would be stupid. So yeah...yay for Europe! But man am I glad to be home. I'm still really tired. On the 8 hour plane ride from Dublin to Atlanta, I watched Monsters vs Aliens, 17 Again, and Dragonball Evolution (worse movie EVER. It's up there with the Highlander movies). I didn't sleep. It was bad.

Luckily (or unluckily), the rest of my summer is jam-packed with lots of fun (tedious) things! I have to get my license before I go back to school, which is in a month, or I can't go. I have to (probably) wash and wax my car, and clean out the interior, since it's been awhile. I have to get my tuition crap figured out, since I go back in a month and we still don't have stuff looked at. I have to go out into the world and find a bed, etc. for my room at my sisters' apartment, and then move everything in. On top of all of that, I am going to the chiropractor 3 times a week for my neck/headaches and working Sundays and Tuesday (and any other day besides that) for my mom/at bingo. I was going to buy myself one Prismacolor markers with the money I've been saving, but that looks unlikely since I have to pay back my mom and sister for stuff from Europe. Plus (probably) anything for my car. Blegh. I'm going to be so busy. Oh, and I have to keep an eye on my grandma. She's gotten worse with memory issues, so she needs to be watched. It's not hard or anything, it's just time consuming. But I'm just thankful she's still around.

Well, I haven't done a single artistic thing. I bought some small canvases before I left. I was planning on doing a picture for the story that my friend ~Acenes is doing of one of the main characters, Solei, who was originally mine, but I don't know when I'll have time. Or the inspiration. Every free moment is spent relaxing, not thinking/watching tv or reading. (I read 5 books while in Europe.) So yeah...you may see some art updates here, but nothing big...yeah...

My sisters and I went to see Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince yesterday. Oh. My. GOSH. I LOVED it. I haven't read the book since it came out, so I didn't remember a lot. I mean, I remembered quite a bit, but I'm still rereading it. But yeah, the movie is definitely the best out of all of them so far. It was lovely. They (of course) deviated from the book, but all movies do that are based on books. It was still fantastic. I tried not to cry at all during the movie, but I did during the part following the death of Dumbledore. (If you didn't know that he dies, you're stupid. Everyone knows he dies.) It was touching and the music was lovely. I read yesterday that John Williams is coming back and doing the scores for the Deathly Hallows movies, which means lots and lots of crying because the music made me. XD

Ok well, hope you all are having lovely summers. If you'd like to tell me about it, feel free. I'm behind on people's lives. I deleted all journals without looking at them because I have a million of them when I got back and didn't feel like looking through them. So yeah, let me know! I need soup.
