Why is it that my summers are always so packed? Especially my Julys?

So, my summer plans so far:

May 18: Last day of finals.
May 19: Leave for St. Louis with Matt. Stay there for the weekend with crazybutsound, also visiting Michelle and Phyllis from my French class and Peter from the IJA while I'm there.
May 22: Take Amtrak home.
May 24-29 (I think): WisCon in Madison with Mom, Link and vito_excalibur.
June: sweaty_nano.
June 18-24: Anytown. I do not know how I'm going to do sweaty_nano during this, but I'm sure I'll have some free time.
July 1-6 (I think): talldancergirl will be visiting.
July 15: I plan to turn 16 on this day.
July 17-23: The IJA festival in Portland.
July 26-30: The NPL convention in San Antonio.

I'm walking in the Kansas City AIDS Walk on the 22nd, next Saturday. If you're feeling generous, you can donate by credit card here. Even a couple of bucks would help. Also, if you live in the KC area and want to walk with me, let me know- I'd love some more company.

Noel made me laugh the other day. He was twisting a paper clip out of shape, and I asked him why he was destroying it. He grinned and said (in his adorable Spanish accent), "I'm not destroying it, I am giving it new form."

I went to a fancy restaurant, Aixois, yesterday with my French class. I got a really delicious gazpacho with tomato, cucumber and avocado, and, um, French fries. Madame Brandt tried to get me to eat some escargots. ("They're not meat, they're.... insects!")

Happy birthday to nattus and ennienyc- sorry I'm late! I hope that you both had a wonderful day, and that you have a wonderful year!
