Purpose-
Posted May 25, 2011 // 5:48 pm // Comments (0)
Summer is finally here again. It’s only my second day and I’m already bored out of my mind. I had all these hopes about what this summer would be like and all I’ve done is sit around and watch TV. I have run a mile each day and I’ve done laundry, but that’s not really fun. I wanted to travel. I think there was part of me that just wanted to take a two-month road trip around the states. I’ve actually considered staying in North Carolina with my family for the summer. Unfortunately, I don’t think my parents would like that much.
You know that feeling you get when you’re afraid? It’s like you just need to get away. That’s what I’ve been feeling over the past few days. I just want to run. That explains why I’ve been on a treadmill a lot lately. 
A few months ago, I applied for a summer scholarship program. It’s geared towards the arts. For example, writing, theater, media, and others. I could have gotten a full ride to college if I had gotten in. It’s really funny because I was so confident with my application and with my interview, but I didn’t get in. That program was supposed to take up a lot of my time this summer. Instead, I feel like I have no purpose whatsoever. I’m one of those people who aren’t happy with sitting around doing nothing.
I was watching Beauty and the Beast earlier and one of the things Belle said was, “And for once it might be grand to have someone understand I want so much more than they’ve got planned.” I want to do something important this summer. I’d like another life changing experience.
Speaking of life changing experiences, I went to Europe in April. I must say, it was the most beautiful place I’ve ever seen. We went to England, Ireland, and Wales. I fell in love with London immediately. I cried when I saw Big Ben. I was also blessed with the chance to stand outside the royal entrance of Westminster Abbey. Oh! I also stood on the steps of St. Paul’s where Princess Diana walked on her wedding day. If I could go back to London, I would, and I would never come home. I couldn’t help feel like I belonged there.
On our last night there, we ate at a little restaurant called Hummus Bros. They had this cute t-shirt that said “Give peas a chance!” I wanted to get it for my dad, but I ran out of time. If anybody lives in London and you stumble upon that place, could you get me the t-shirt? 
I have a lot of plans for my blog. I intend to at least write once a week this summer. I attempted designing a layout today, but it didn’t turn out well. I’m completely lacking inspiration even though I have the motivation.
One more thing! Ever since I’ve been home from Europe, my obsessions have been Adele and Doctor Who. Thank you so much, Great Britain
