It's as though I've entered another nap. Similar to the one I think I'm in from T1 in Mrs. Riley's room when Shelton was behind my house; but this time it's a dreamy cloudy haze that feels like an eternal fall settling into the atmosphere. Leaves on the trees are changing colors, and they are sticking to the ground like marshmallows. This is nothing like Conway, where everything was orange and brown and fresh and crisp and cool and passed into spring before I got to fall.
It's 2019 now and the last time I posted something here I thought high school was going to be the biggest most important time of my life. I couldn't imagine a world or life outside of the green roof and white walls of the June Shelton School; I didn't have friends besides the ones I'd grown up with from elementary school, and Dallas was the only home I'd ever known. The world was small then, and now I'm the one who is small while encountering this big, big world.
The nap is ongoing here in Beniel, Murcia. Spain has become a special second home to me, though I have claimed many places as my second home (like Arkansas, Oklahoma, Alex's house, etc.). Spain has truly stolen a slice of my heart and gobbled it up, leaving me enchanted with European rooftops and the cathartic chime of cathedral bells. The days and weeks pass here with the blink of an eye, within moments I've gone from September to October and already thinking of Christmas time and where I will be and what I will do.
Will I ever wake up from this dream I think I'm in? Will Mrs. Riley ever turn on the lights and tell us to roll up our mats and put them away?

Time to Rise
Hello Everyone!
So as you know, The Dark Knight Rises, came out yesterday and at the premiere in Aurora, CO a man went into the theatre there and killed 14 people and injured 50. My prayers go to those whose family members were killed or injured last night. Some things that happen just have no explanation, we can only wait for the verdict on this madman and for justice to rise up against him and others like him.
On another note my grandparents are in town this week and I am super excited to hang out with them and see how they have been doing.
Bless Aurora

Workouts
Hello Everyone!
Working out is something tedious and tiring for those of us 'lazy' people. I found the best thing to use for every month (or every other month if you a horrible procrastinator) that just gives me little things to do each day. It builds up over time and it is an Abs workout. I love it simply because it lets me break a nice sweat and I can do it in my room right after I wake up!
Now just because it says 'June' doesn't mean you can't adjust the days you do it! Rest on the weekends and do the workouts every day!
I hope you all love this as much as I do!

On a Complicated Note
Hello Everyone!
I am in a relationship right now. And I am the person in the relationship who just has to find stuff to fight about. I can never let myself be happy with everything going perfectly.
For example:
My significant other and I were just laughing and hiding from mosquitos on my couch, we both are like sweet sweet dessert to them, and we made up 'mosquito go away' songs. Then I just decide to be a Debby Downer and ruin our evening by telling him it was time for me to go to sleep, which it wasn't, and that he should leave. He was a sweetheart and gave me a hug by the door, which I complained was the "Most uncomfortable hug I had ever received," and as he walked to his car I didn't even say 'I Love You'. I seem to always end things like this, when they could have gone down so perfectly. I'll say 'I'm Sorry' tomorrow, hopefully. So, on that complicated note,
Good Night,
-A Good Girlfriend in the Making-
First Impressions
Hello Everyone!
First impressions are what can build or break us. I just met a new friend last night, notice the word 'friend', and his first impression on me was that he was a worthless daydreamer. Well by the end of the night I found that this was the complete opposite and that he was filled with wonderful, interesting stories and that my best friend has a HUGE crush on him! So by the end of the night, he and I had become friends and I had gained a new appreciation of 'first impressions'.
So that's my first post! Hope it doesn't sound too weird, check back for more!
