mine
My summers always seem to be crazy. Always slower & crazier than the rest of the year, all at the same time. This one is no exception, for sure, but I'm definitely enjoying myself. Let me just say, I really thankful for the people in my life. I don't mind the drives. Driving soothes me anyways.
I finished my last UCLA class ever last week. It wasn't as dramatic or as relieving as I thought it would be though. But hooray, anyways. Maybe because I'm still in study mode, and will continue to be, until next summer :/ My big optometry test is Sep 5 (one month! oh my.) then I have a few prereqs like human anatomy and physiology to take for optometry school over the next two semesters (semesters? what are those?). And on top of all that I'm working on applications this next month or two and working, working, working. I absolutely love my job.
I'm really blessed. Really, really. So much so that I've had to employ a new life motto -- live simply, love greatly. It's a conviction that's been coming up over and over the past few weeks. Especially with two of my best friends coming back from inner city missions recently. Oh, the unnecessary luxuries I have. We have. You're probably reading this from your own laptop, no? Thought so.
But yes! All my friends are back in town (er, in their respective towns), yayayayaa. It's so very exciting. You know what else is exciting? Bryce Avary is following me on twitter. It's because he remembers meeting me two years ago. I'm pretty sure.

Gorgeous! My first BCF wedding. Basically a c/o 2008 reunion. So fun!
As much as I love ohnine, the class before ours will always hold a special place in my heart.
Twoscoops, twoscoops!

Pause
This is the first week of summer I've had with no work, so I've had a lot of downtime at home. My summers used to always be like this. I didn't even set an alarm for this morning, probably the first time since moving home. Coffee kept me up until 4 last night anyways and I ended up sleeping in until 11. Eleven! So strange. I miss the hustle and bustle of living in Westwood, though I probably can't say the same about the drama. Ah, well. Things should pick up again in August. I can't wait. I'm getting bored.
Random old Diana's. Ah, if only medium format wasn't so costly.
