Liberté!

June 4th:

Today can accurately be described as "liberté," or as you may prefer, "freedom". My two friends and I woke up on our own schedule, decided to go walking at Rancho San Antonio, did so without needing to clear it with any adult, and then went to Downtown Mountain View's Red Rock to write some thank you cards for our graduation gifts! Sleep, Friends, Rancho, and coffee shops - what more could a girl want?! Chocolate is the only acceptable answer here. Scratch that, perhaps bacon. Well, moving on.

I decided to begin the process of cleaning out my room in preparation for painting and college-moving. I used a good five or six cardboard boxes scrounged from downtown shops, but those only held my random nick-knacks and books! I have a lot of stuff...

One friend left, another friend came, bucket-list ideas were thrown around, and they are the reason I am writing to you(?) right now! Yay for inspiration! Well, now my room is about half empty. This is quite a feat if you had ever seen my room for it is usually filled with quite a bit of random junk! Currently dark blue and vibrant green, it will soon be very very mild shades of light blue, light green, and gray. I'm painting for three main reasons: 1. I like painting, and it will give me something to do as well as keep my room light and airy looking for the summer. 2. My room will most likely stand in as a guest room while I am at college, and dark, vivid colors aren't very welcoming/fresh for house guests. 3. I want to purge a lot before going to college, and I think boxing up my non-essentials right now will help me decide what I ACTUALLY want to bring when it comes to deciding all that.

I was going to go to the Apple Store with my dad tonight, but we decided there may be a college-student/back-to-school sale happening late summer, and it's worth saving the couple hundred dollars to wait a couple months, so we didn't go. Although maybe we could go and just check out the different laptops... But no, Downtown Palo Alto is an annoyingly long drive to just look at computers.

I'm currently working on my bucket list, so I'll keep you posted on that. For now... Enjoy the weather and keep it classy.
