So I thought this would be my first August post, but it wasn't. oops. oh well.
Frolicked in the woods this weekend. It was nice to breathe some fresh air for once. And I also got to go to the onsen and introduce my cousin to ethnic clothing. haha. He has debuted in his "thai pants." I'm so proud.
So if today is the 4th, that means I have... 24 days, almost exactly 3 weeks, left until I go back to school. I'm having mixed feelings. I'm really looking forward to this next year. I get to be an RA - finally - after wanting to be one since senior year of HS. But it also means leaving this fabrication that I call 'home' that I hadn't felt so comfortable in forever. I still don't like holidays, don't get me wrong. It's just a bummer that this 'home' that I can feel 'at home' at is 8 hours and 2000 dollars from Stanford. Damn it.
Oh well. The best I can do now is try to thoroughly enjoy the three weeks I have left, do those things that I need to do, and go back to Stanny with a fresh mind, fresh body, and the self-confidence and willingness to do things. I am going to remember who I am as 'I' and not in relation to other people. It will be good. I sense good things. It will be marvelous.

Go Cassie! Go! lol I like the reading list. I wish I could get myself to read. I mean I kind of need to for the business that I'm in. At least I read news articles and such, and keep myself updated on current events, right? Oh, but I am attempting to tackle Pride and Prejudice. I love the movie, and it doesnt make sense that I haven't read the book. So far, the 6 hour long movie is identical to the book. Oh well lol Keep it up!
