Wow.

I haven't posted anything on here in forever. It's just evidence of how insanely busy my life is since school started. And how much I hate getting on this desktop since my laptop has broke.

The latest and greatest news of my life is that I'm not a Starbucks employee! It kinda has made my life. I've tried working at Starbucks for literally the past 3 years, and finally after applying, making several Starbucks accounts so I could apply more often, and even sitting down and calling every location in RVA seeking a job, I finally got one! Everyone has told me that I look like someone that would work at Starbucks. Some people have even mistaken me for some guy that works at one in the west end.

Today will be my 4th day working. I'm still in training but I've started to get some things down. I know how to order people's drinks, even though it's still quite confusing. I even learned how to make some hot drinks. Lattes, mochas, and then just black coffee and teas. I've learned a lot about cleaning and stocking. There's still a lot more to know, but I love working at Starbucks already. I'll just be glad when my training is over and I get the hang of everything. And when I get to know all my fellows baristas. Everyone I've met so far is really nice and I'm gonna be able to get along with all of them. I'm just ready to get to know them so I don't feel like an outsider because they are all really close.

It's insane all of the places I've applied to, and my first job is at Starbucks. The place where I've always wanted to work.

Life is changing so much. I have a job, I'm a senior in high school, I'm seriously picking my colleges and writing my essays, and it's insane that the first two weeks of school are already dunzo.

I feel like my life is finally getting to place where I will be content with it, for once.

The Ending of Something That Will Never Happen Again.

Today is the last day of my last summer of being a high schooler. I know I blog about this kinda stuff all the time, but when I'm up late with nothing to do, my mind always wonders to this subject.

I spent the day at Busch Gardens with some good friends, and it's insane to me that in less than a year, we will be apart, in college, going our seperate ways. My friends will always remain my friends, and I'm sure I'll make new friends throughout my senior year, but once we all leave and do our own thing, nothing will ever go back to being the same. Winter and Summer breaks will never start and end at the same exact time, we will have new friends and new relationships, and be busy with our families. Sure, we will see eachother, but I just know that it won't ever be the same.

I really do cherish my friends, my friends are like family, my friends are my family. And a lot of my friends probably mean a lot to me than they realize. I'm stoked for this last year, to enjoy the friendships I already have, and to being new ones.
