Birthdays.
Cake. Presents. Parties. Growing Up. Wishes.
This weekend, I will be celebrating my birthday. When I was younger, I would separate my wish list into two categories: "Things I Have a Chance of Getting" and "Things I Know I Will Not Get But I'm Going To Fantasize About Getting Anyway". Items under the first category would be things like: clothes, video games, the newest American Girl Doll, and more 'princess' themed stick-on earrings. Items under the second category would be things like: a laptop, an iPad, a dog, and a unicorn named Winston. It's almost sad to think that as we grow older, we stop hoping for big, expensive gifts and rather ask for the realistic small things that mean just as much. I was so sad when I realized that all I wanted for my birthday this year was a part of shoes and a $50 iTunes gift card. Where was the hope of getting a unicorn named Winston or a Turtle named JimBob??? I miss that! That is why I want to make it publicly known that my birthday wish list is as follows:
-a trip to Calcutta, India
-a white pony
-two gerbils
-a bunny rabit
-a $1000 iTunes gift card
-meet One Direction
-a castle, complete with a horse and carriage, a diamond crown, and a prince
Remember to always dream big! Life might just surprise you :)

Ahhh, summer
Ahh, summer.
late nights. sleeping in. lazy days. wearing shorts. swimming. the beach. sunglasses. summer.
My summer this year was amazing! From the end of June to the beginning of July, I spent my days sleeping in and relaxing. DEFINITELY a nice break from waking up at 7:00 every morning! Towards the middle of July, my family took a vacation to Mexico to see all my cousins! We went to Acapulco for a week and had a blast! I am an only child so when my parents told me my cousin would be coming home with us after the trip for two weeks, I was thrilled! We are the same age so it definitely felt like I had a sister! After my "sister" went back to Mexico, I had about three days before I left for sleep-away camp for two weeks! My camp was awesome!!! It's in Hancock, NY so it's up in the mountains which was so cool! I tried so many fun activities like barefooting, ziplining, and flying trapeze! When I came home from camp, my school schedule was waiting for me. THAT was really depressing because it made me realize that summer is almost over!
I have a theory that you never actually realize it was summer until the first day of school! If you are lucky, like I was, you are so busy with friends or traveling that you never keep track of the days so you don't realize that school is coming! I am not upset that school is coming. I do, however, would like to have a word with my superintendent about what time school should start each morning! :) Summer's not over yet though! In fact, my father and I leave for Ireland tomorrow! We will visit Dublin and meet some relatives who my Dad had not seen since he was eighteen years old! I will post some pics!
So enjoy the rest of your summer and remember to make the most out of what you have left!

From Blackberry to iPhone
Ok, so we all know that Blackberries and iPhones are virtually from 2 different planets, right? After months of pleading for an iPhone, I finally took a spaceship from Planet Tiny Keyboard, to Planet Even Tinier Keyboard.
It would be easier to say one thing I loved about my Blackberry than to list all the things I didn't like! I loved the BBM app; an easy way to talk to my cousins in Mexico always gets my vote. With BBM, or Blackberry Messanger App, I was able to catch up on the family drama (I have a BIG family), or just say 'hey' and compare homework assignments! Definitely a thumbs up on that one!
It would be easier to say one thing I don't like about my new iPhone than to list all the things I love! I don't like how spell check always corrects me when I text my friends using 'text talk'! I type things like 'lolz' and it corrects me with 'lover'! Yeah sometimes it's helpful, for example my mom typed to a client 'let me know if there's any thong you need'! It corrected her with THING instead of THONG thankfully! For me, spell check corrects me when I don't want it to more often than it corrects me when I need it to.
Although these 2 planets are very different, I am very happy and thankful to my parents for providing me with the spaceship to Planet iPhone!
