white winter hymnal

Sometimes I wish the weather would make up its mind. Friday I was wearing nothing but short sleeves and the warm winter breeze made me feel whole again. Now, there are 2 inches and counting of snow on the ground. Another snowday, eh. Thoughts of summer have raided my head; This year I'm going to make it a good one. Last summer, something happened, and I was in a rut that allowed it to suck. It wasn't TERRIBLE, just not as good as the one before (in comparison.)
I want to camp everywhere because it is extremely cheap, and also because I love camping. There is no excuse for me to not take advantage of my last summer before college...who knows when anything will change. I can't go to faraway places, such as Europe or California because it is too expensive, but I can discover new places around me that are just as beautiful as anywhere else in the world. Also, I can't wait to go to Florida and not have any worries, stay in a beautiful home, and be with friends. All I can say is that I'm ready for summer, but I will let springtime roll in softly and enjoy the increasing temperature.
Temple offered me some more financial aid. I'll be getting around 10,000 a year. And that's not including any other scholarships I might receive. I know I'm not paying my way through college, and I'm extremely grateful that my parents are allowing me this opportunity, but I'd still like to pay them back someday. I found a roommate, we have yet to figure out our housing BUT she is a vegetarian as well, and we have similar tastes when it comes to music and hobbies. Awesome, right? I hope that it all works out for me, I didn't want to end up with some alcohol-crazed lunatic who stays up all night listening to rap music. Because honestly, that was in the realm of possibility.
Today I got a 35mm camera; I inherited it from a recently deceased great aunt. I didn't know her all very well...she was even a great-step aunt. But, tragically, all things have to come to an end. And I get to enjoy new life out of this camera, hopefully. The only downside is that EVERYTHING we got from her house (to either sell at our upcoming garage sale or keep for ourselves) smells like dirty, rotten cigarette smoke. I absolutely would not be able to stand living that way. Couldn't stand to marry a smoker. Aye.
I also read the whole short story of Jekyll and Hyde. I keep wanting to call it "The curious case of Jekyll and Hyde." If I had known there was a snowday, I would have put it off. Best to get things done though, I suppose. I just can't wait until the summertime when I can sit outside for hours and just read while occasionally looking at the trees.
Alex comes home in 19 days...and during the days he is home, we're gonna live them up to the fullest. I want to see the beach again, eat pretzels, make food, eat Zizi's, eat wherever, and see the rest of my friends that are going to be home. Girls night is definitely a must.
