As I sit here on the couch, nibbling my Dove dark chocolate candies, I am tickled by the simple, hopeful sayings inside their crinkled tin foil coverings. Each nougat adds another pillar to my eternally optimistic philosophy on life, and I relish every moment in which I can sit and reflect on things that bring me joy.
This week, in particular, holds high potential for being a joyous one.
Why?
My birthday, of course!
- Turning 20. The big 2-0.
- It will certainly be a bizarre feeling, to no longer be a “teenager” anymore.
- Seems like the official beginning of adulthood, and a new chapter in my life.
- Weird…
And…
- The fact that, after this week, I will only have TWO weeks left of my summer internship *cue choir of heavenly angels*
- So, I will have completed over 300 hours working in the department of development at Akron Children’s Hospital, and in the process, I will have completed a major requirement for my degree (while gaining invaluable professional experience)
- YIPPEE!
Also…
- HARRY FREAKIN POTTER
- Seeing it on my birthday. The end of an era, the final culmination of my childhood literary experiences. It will be a big moment.
- A BIG moment.
And furthermore…
- GOING TO FLORIDA
- Day after my birthday! Clearwater Beach and DISNEY WORLD with my family.
- I desperately need this vacation. You have no idea.
And “NEVERMIND the FUTHERMORES!”…
- I will delve into these thoughts a bit more later on this week, in individual posts. I just had to throw them out there tonight!
- Yes, I’m rather in an ADD sort of mood…
- But, you know what? I don’t care.
Don’t worry. Be happy.
