It's been a great but busy week. I went to Chapel Hill for a couple of days to hang out and see Tim, who's been abroad all year, which was wonderful. It kind of made me wish I was there for the summer! But I'm also really excited about camp. We start tomorrow, which is crazy. It's such a huge change, I feel like my summer is either ending now or only beginning. The past two years of M-Staff have been completely opposite of each other but both were blessings in their own ways. I can't wait to see how this summer ends up; I think it's going to be awesome.
I spent some time cleaning my room more and getting rid of some books I didn't want. The piles of books were getting out of control, and I knew there were some that I didn't want or need to keep. The basic criteria I was using was whether I would a) recommend this book to someone else and/or b) wanted to read it again one day. I figured there would be twenty or thirty books that I could give away; I ended up with one hundred and fifty. I had one hundred and fifty books that I didn't want. That is completely ridiculous. I'm so glad they are gone and I promise never to let it get that bad again.
Here's the ones that were going:
My bookshelf looks so happy now! It's crazy to actually have extra space - I ended up putting extra notebooks on that shelf.
Also, speaking of awesome things, Katy and I screen printed dinosaur t-shirts while I was in Chapel Hill. I was then inspired to create a llama one, of course. I love the way it turned out. I pretty closely followed this tutorial to figure out how to do it.
