lovely day for a picnic

Oh, my poor old diary. How I have neglected thee! I am so very sorry. I could have written Saturday night, as well as Sunday night, but I didn't. The rest of the days, I was on vacation. I did not enjoy it a whole lot. I missed the Boston Pops and the fireworks. I figured that if I couldn't see it all in person, I could at least watch it on television, but the television up in Maine was busted, and hence, I could not watch my fireworks. They didn't even have any fireworks up there, which was very depressing. I was hoping that they would at least have a small display, or something. Instead, Kat and I bought some cheap sparklers that refusesd to light with mere matches. After getting sick of messing around with them, we took out a propane torch and set those little buggers on fire. It was a disappointing holiday for me. I had expected so much more. I even wore red, white, and blue. The rest of the time in Maine was rather hazy to me, although I did see some very nice things in nature that I wouldn't usually see around here. I saw a deer eating grass one night when I was out practicing my driving, a family of ducks that lived near my aunt's house, a full moon over the ocean, and a lot more stars than I would ever be able to see here. If it weren't for those memorable things, I don't think I should remember much of anything. We took a stroll around the amusement park, which was amusing only because we could laugh at how bad the place was falling apart.

I talked on the phone today for three whole hours with Kerri. We talked about summer jobs, our mutual ex-friend Erin, boyfriends (and my lack of one), and what colleges we are going to visit. We had made plans last year to take the summer to go and visit colleges, so that is what we're going to do. I was suprised that we talked for that long. It was a good thing though, because we were very bored today. My mom worked a full day at work, and this means that there were no opportunities to go out in the car somewhere to do something. Kat and I were bored all day, but I did manage to get some work done. It was kind of a trade off, I suppose. I got all of my e-mails written, and I fixed my blog up. I got caught up on all of my work that had to be conducted online as well. I think I should read tonight. I am falling a bit behind in my reading schedule. I can't help it really; it's only because my books are so incredibly boring. I'm still reading The Remains of the Day, even though it's only about 240 pages. It's just so very slow and monotonous. I thought it had started to pick up, about 100 pages into the story, and then it just took a nosedive into sheer boredom again. I do try, really I do.

I really have to take the nail polish off of my fingernails and toenails. It's all chipping and ugly. I just didn't feel like doing it today. I didn't feel like doing a lot of things. Besides reading tonight, I will write a letter back to my friend Yumi. She sent me a letter that had some bad news in it, and perhaps I should think of some nice things to say to her. Well, I'm out for now. Maybe I'll chat for a while.

Ciao.
