The Alpha and Omega of Summer Vaction

Summer vacation is the best feeling ever and it comes with the best weather of the year. There is so much free time. Starting summer break may be one of the best things ever, but ending it can really, really suck (For Me). Goals for this summer break is to be productive. I don't want to be some lazy couch potato go to sleep at 3 A.M.and wake up at 1 P.M. ever day. I wanna wake up early and go to bed early too. I want to start working out this summer, while taking summer school, and doing volleyball summer camp. I wanna be as prepared as I can for my very first year of high school.

But before thinking about summer YET. I got to get all my homework done (especially reading pages). I got to take the finals and do well. with only 1 month left of 8th grade, I can't believe how fast 8th grade has gone past. I am also very worried and nervous about going to high school. I just hope that my future me won't be stupid, and I will have a fun rest of my time in high school.

It's Complicated ...

"It's Complicated", its something we say because were to lazy to explain or because it just is TOO complicated. The past year or two has been very complicated. My dad moved to Florida because his work was in Florida. At first it was especially hard to adjust to my dad not coming home at night Whenever my friends did ask where my dad is I would always just tell them that he's in Florida right now working. I don't really know how to explain. I don't know when my dad will be coming back, or if he's going to stay there for longer, but I hope he comes home soon.

My dad does come back every 3 weeks now to visit. It's always fun when he's come because he makes the house feel more awake. He also just buys and makes us eat a crap-ton of food. Even though I may have enjoyed my dad not being home some days, because it made me feel more free. It's been a struggle not having a fatherly figure in my life, at a time where I think I do need it the most. I'm now extremely grateful for the times that my dad is home though. I believe that God put me into this position for a reason. I now realize how much I miss my dad and how much impact he has in my life. But for now all I can say is that,"It's Complicated."

Tribute To A Special Someone

I want to give a tribute to grandma because he had always been with me since I was little. She would always look after me when my parent's couldn't. She would be with me for most of the day. She would literally do anything that I would say, and she still does. Also she tries and tries to explode my stomach with food, but I don't let her. When I was little I was hooked on Thomas the train engine ( I still know all their names ).

She would get me and herself a ticket (Every and only on Saturdays) for the Metra train that would take us to Downtown Chicago and we would spend our day there and come home during the night. I still remember the first day that I rode a train. It was with her and when I got on the train. I thought the train was broken because the train was going backwards. The front was at the end. I also remember when I found out that the train had an upper floor. Back then I didn't realize why she would buy me train tickets, I just thought she did. I also didn't know why she was always looking after me. I was clueless back then.

Now I know how much my grandma had cared for me. She would tell me everything that I needed to know about life. She would also give me advice to me and never judge me for what I would do. She would put all her troubles to the side just to be with me and drive 30 minutes to get to my house. She always said that I was the best gift she could ever get in her life . I just want to thank you for shaping me into the person I am today, and you will never leave my heart.
