It's a La-La-La Lovely Day

Lately, I have been in a strange, discombobulated state, unfortunately most of which has been a bout of depression. It's too complicated to describe here, but I chalk it up to subconscious anxiety about the near future with me going to college in a few months and all, assessing where I am now, where I've been, how I could have done things differently, ironing out the crinkles in relationships with friends who will also be going through this transitory phase with me, and just trying to make the most of these last fleeting moments of a major chapter in my life's story.

Phew. With all of that said, though, I'm happy to say that the cloud has passed; for now, at least. This weekend started off the real summer season, as I had a great time at our school's Jazz Under the Stars event on Friday night after a fun day at Six Flags (with a miracle I attribute to St. Anthony to top it all off). Yesterday, I spent practically all day with my best friends from church making our end of the year video and then eating at KFC together before swimming in the rain and watching Changeling, which is a very sad movie, though it makes you think about the importance of justice.

And today was simply glorious and relaxing. After going out to breakfast at a little café/bakery with my mom, I suggested going swimming again on facebook and ended up going to the pool again with my two friends. The weather today was just gorgeous and it was really a beautiful, tranquil afternoon to just lay around by the pool and swim in the bright sunlight. I'm not really upset that I have to go to school for two more days (my last two days of high school ever!), but having the day off really made me feel like it's time for summer vacation.
