Jessica (AJ) - Accomplished list

I've written many lists over the years, but I don't remember what they were about. I usually throw them away before I'd accomplished any of them. My list of books to read this summer for example; it didn't happen. I didn't accomplish my "things to make/give to my friends" list either. Oh, and the Karaoke Day, Disney day, all those other days we've planned to meet up for this summer. It's my last day in Turlock, I've finished this list I've made. "What to do before heading off for college", it's a vague list, but it's complete. I've packed what I needed, more or less. I've hung out with my friends- you know I miss you right now, already- and have gotten a hug from each of them. (Thank you, Yvette for arguing on my behalf. Thank you, Zach for finally complying.), I've cleaned the house for top to bottom, talked to my roommates, readied my classes and money for Berkeley, set up the webcam for my parents, and now I'm finally getting to the task of writing out my entry here. Yay!

I don't have much to say- it's 1:13am, I'm supposed to be asleep, but I'm still worrying over what I might forgotten to pack, what to do tomorrow, and whatnot.
I know I meant to write this entry for one purpose at first. I'm pleading innocent to Zach's accusation of liking to take pictures of his "half-naked" self. It's just not true. I just enjoy taking pictures. I can't help it if he happens to be swimming and not wearing a shirt when I'm with a camera.
But I probably should get to sleep now. I was cleaning my drawers the other day and I found cards and papers from so many years ago. My cousin wrote me a letter before leaving for college herself 3 years ago.
There was a quote : "You gain strength, courage and confidence by every experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face. You must do the thing which you think you cannot do." ~ Eleanor Roosevelt
I love quotes. ^-^. But seriously, it's been meaningful. And I'm ready to go to sleep and hopefully wake up on time tomorrow. Lots of things to do!
