In my room, since I am on the top floor, the ceilings slope with the roof, and on one of these slanted ceilings is a slanted window. I have the window open a little to let a breeze in because it's so hot here! A few minutes ago, I heard a noise coming from the window, and I looked up to see a squirrel climbing down my screen. I have been that close to squirrels in my life, but it was so unexpected and in such an odd place! I tried to call over my roommate who loves squirrels, but it was gone too fast.

Anyway, since today is the last day of August, I thought I would reflect on the month as a whole. In this month, I don't think anything in my life has changed drastically. It wasn't a boring month, but not one of the most fun either. Perhaps I have gained a little more confidence in myself, my hair is a few millimeters longer, and I have moved into a house with 11 awesome people. But I still have no idea wher my life is going to go. Maybe I don't want to though. I go with the flow, and if all of life's mysteries were solved, I don't think there would be any point to living.

Most of all this month, I have tried to stop apologizing in my writing. I will often write something, and then say something like "sorry, that was so long and disorganized and rambling, I don't know what I am trying to say", but I have forced myself to backspace and continue with what is important. I know that some days I will have way better posts than other days because my mind is clearer, or something has clicked in my brain, and writing something entertaining and of good quality every day is not going to happen.

My 11th grade English teacher was the first teacher I had who didn't make me feel like I was a horrible writer. At the beginning of every school year, he does a "Top Ten Cool Things of Summer", and because classes start tomorrow, and a new month, I will probably do that tomorrow. And although I will be way too busy to blog every day, I will try to update regularly.
