Tonight, I'm gonna fill your guitar with pigeons, So next time, You're left with just the rhythms

I should be working on my essay... Why do I always start off my blogs saying "Hey you, I'm procrastinating once again so right now is the perfect time to blog!" Well, I figured I'm pulling an all-nighter for this baby anyways, so might as well make it tonight. I can nap in the car (for reasons I'll explain below...) (EDIT: Decided to sleep after posting this. Waking up early to work on it at starbucks, with caffeine in hand!)

So, this finals week is a bit hectic for me this year. First off, the joyous occasion of my little sister graduating high school. My older sister and I have to miss the dinner portion because I have a final from 1:30-3:30, then we have to dash to SD and get there by 5ish (so we can find parking for the ceremony at 6), probably do a little something after (8ish?), then come back up to the 'vine that night for my final from 8-10 am friday morning! Busy two days, right? Well, today (yes, today), I'm going to a funeral for my great-uncle. It's a sad occasion, honestly... Although I was not insanely close to him, he was still a very large part of the family impact on my mother's side (as in, he's been there through the years). There's certainly a balance between joy and sadness this week- funeral/graduation, finals/killing them (hopefully), procrastination/wonderful friends (oh yes, there is a difference).

It's not time for an "end of the year" blog to occur, but I have to say that I am truly excited to go back to SD.... I just wish I could bring all the wonderful things from Irvine back with me. There are so many adventures that are going to be happening in SD this year (let's break it down)

1) Working camp with my family and friends (YAY!!! So excited <3)

2) Playing in summer band (sans braces!)

3) Del Mar Fair

4) The possibility of some of my Irvine friends visiting me (oooh my goodness PLEASE)

5) Recording music with Daniel (oh GOSH. Black and Gold and In My Life are in the works <3)

6) Hillcrest adventures

7) Orchestral Death Cab for Cutie concert in July (with Heather, Ashley, and Gabrielle)

8) American Idol Tour with my papa in July (Adam Lambert, hometown hero!)

9) Los Campesinos! in Pomona in August :) (with Elif and Aileen, my two best friends and my favorite band at the moment)

10) Turning the big 2-1 in August (no idea how exactly to celebrate, considering I'm the oldie out of my friends... Nevertheless, it will be wonderful!)

11) READING!!! (Re-reading Catcher in the Rye, McSweeny short stories, Dubliners by James Joyce, Nylon Magazines... ahhhh <3)

12) Acquiring my muuuusic (as in the list and multiple blurbs below... and blurb isn't even being spellchecked? suh-wheat!)

13) Various hangout days: beach, exercise, dinner dates (including those ever-so-special dressing up for the simple reason of feeling like it with the girls), movie-watching, shopping, PANIKAN TEA HOUSE, Coffee Bean...

14) Oh yeah, and True Blood is kinda going to be on TV again. Basically the best part of summer television!

15) The late-night chats with my loves from Irvine... oh yes <3

16) More poetry writing (gotta get published: round two!)

17) Guitar skills need to be acquired. Thanks!

In truth, I seriously want to bring all that is wonderful about Irvine to SD with me. But that is going to be saved for the always-entertaining End of the School Year Blog of Life...

I'm going to sleep. I am babbling on like a brook :).
