busy busy bee

it's been pretty crazy for me lately, especially the past couple of weeks. i've been cramming to finish my AP lit journal and essay (which i am currently working on) within the past week. i've been writing so much i swear i'm on the verge of getting carpal tunnel syndrome! but i know it's for the best; i can only reap the benefits of turning it in early.

i still have yet to see my friends. even my best friend! i haven't seen her in like 2 weeks and it makes me sad but i honestly have no time right now :(. with tennis, Tom Sawyer camp next week til august 15, and working on college apps/AP stuff, i'm booked. no one out of my group seems to be too bothered by the prospect that YEAH, we're applying in the fall! and it's not a good idea to start your applications/essays in september, especially when you know you're gonna have a lot to work on. me? 10 schools baby. i'm going to LOVE filling all that crap out. really.

i'm not too bothered though that i've been so busy. i like it. and i know it's for me. i know it's important. you can hang out with your friends anytime. college is once.

for the best?

if you don't miss someone you're supposed to be really close to, does that mean you don't need this person?

i love my friends dearly and they are the lifeblood of my er... life. but i've noticed that i've made an effort to see some and haven't really tried to connect with others. i feel as if i have uncovered one of life's hard-to-accept-but-have-to-realize mysteries. face it. when you see your friends all the time, it's easy to love them. but it is when you don't see them all the time that you realize who you're truly friends with. it's those whom you make an effort to hang out with that truly matter in your life.

i thought that i'd be hanging out with a larger variety of people over the summer than i am right now. but i guess i overestimated it all. sure i would have a wonderful time hanging out with some of the people i haven't seen since school let out. but if i don't see them for the next 2 months, i would be fine as well.

dog eat dog world. no time to waste on those i guess don't matter as much?
