family reunion

so this saturday, i went to a family reunion for my dad's side of the family!!! considering my great-grandfather had 10 kids, and each kid had at least 3 kids, who have kids, there were A LOT of people there!!! i think there were at least 35-40 people there, and that was only a fifth of everyone that was invited!!! i didn't know anyone barely except my aunts and uncles, and my grandparents!!! it was WILD how many people can be somehow related!!! and i thought my mom's family of 20+ was a bunch!! well....... i'm off on vacation before school starts!!!!

school is STARTING!!!!

oh........ my.......... GOODNESS!!!!! i totally just had a huge freak-out moment!!!! school starts in like 2 1/2 weeks, and i'm gonna be a FRESHMAN!!!! is that not a SCARY thought or what???? i'm totally not ready for school to start yet!!! it seems like the summer has just started, and now their forcing us into ugly and uncomfortable uniforms a mere few months after they let us out!!!! this is SOOOOOO unjust and totally not fair!!!!! normally in years past, my mom and i get our school supplies as soon as the list comes out, but this year, the only thing i have is a few binders, some folders, and no backpack!!! it's totally weird this year!! well, i suppose youhave to go back SOMETIME?????? WRONG!!!!! you could take a year break, then go to school for a year!!! would that not ROCK!!! well, i'll get off my school soapbox now!!! chow!!!
