Simply a great way to end the summer

Sunday, August 15th . My last day of freedom.

School starts tomorrow, and can I say that I  am not at all prepared for it? I picked up my school binders today but still have to see where my classrooms are. Tomorrow my first two classes are Bio with lab and math. awful.


On a better note  : Today has been Simply a great way to end my summer.

Starting off with a brunch in Berkeley and making our way up to The Claremont Hotel to get a look at the city, simply breath taking. A Ghostly white Hotel against a white skyline + five friends = a seriously need to go ghost hunting.

Going to Costco with my family, while pretending to be with another family so I could go in while my family was getting a cart.... successfully,  and getting a free sample of chocolate chip gelato , SCORE!
Ending the day at my friend Dani's house for her birthday party.

Embarrassing story time: walked into the elevator with my friends at The Claremont Hotel , as the doors close I say " okay guys, whose the devil" and I get blank stares and an awkward silence. haha lets just say I probably seemed like sooo weird! haha I was trying to be like that movie about the elevator and the devil. well lets say it sounded better in my head/ better response. but all is well.

question: could you start a symphony with pee? my answer yes, as discovered in the bathroom. haha.


Here is an awesome story:

Inspired by Dani's mom's summer camp experience. We released balloons into the air that had notes attached to them, with our emails and a short note such as, where'd you find me? email me back, have a great day, make me a sandwich, and return this balloon you balloon stealer, hoping that someone will find the balloons and actually email us back. Here are the pictures:

getting ready to let go 

and away they go 

Beautiful attempt at making friends

Phote cred: Tori S.

To me this is so inspirational, thinking about brining people together completely by chance. How amazing!


So first day of school tomorrow, don't quite have the flutterbys (butterflies)  in my stomach yet, but i'm sure they will come fluttering by soon.

Simply amanda, simply out..PEACE.
