AWOL!

It has come to my attention that I have been very lacking in my blogging as of late, and for that I am truly sorry! However, there has been a good excuse. I have been busy out the wazoo! I've been working a lot lately, and last week I was teaching tennis camp as well as working. Summer is definitely one of my favorite times, it's also my busiest. And since I've come to the age where my friends can actually drive, I actually get out and do stuff! Me and my best friend , Em, are trying to make a dinner date every week. I feel so grown. Especially since last night I finally ordered my very first phone! That's kind of insane! My parents have never been the type of parents to just give us whatever we want. Both of my sisters, and now me, have had to work for their phones and cars and pay their own bills and that kind stuff. I'm grateful that my parents have been like that. So many kids these days think that they're entitled to something, just because they want it. I don't see the sense in a 8 year old having a phone. It's not like they have any need for it, it's just another tool to keep them entertained. I'm 17, and I just now in the last year have really thought I should probably get a phone. And that's only because now I go with friends, or I work, or something like that, and that way people can get in touch with me. I just don't understand the mindset of this generation.. I really don't. I'm proud of myself. I really am. I worked hard to earn money, and now I've bought a phone. That's a big deal. Now, to save up for a car!! I've had my permit for 4 months, so by August I'll be able to get my license. Not that I will, seeing as I haven't even driven on the road yet.....Grrr... Oh well, it'll happen, eventually. Well, this had turned into a bit of a rant, so I'm gonna hit the hay. Goodnight, my darlings. I bid you all adieu.
