a solid start.

I always like when a new month starts on a Monday. For example today, is Monday, August 1st. It makes it seem much more official, like you're starting off on the right foot. I have been both excitedly awaiting and dreading this month all at the same time. Why excitedly? On the 9th, I'm going to see one of my fave bands (Kings of Leon) in concert and I have a trip to New York (FINALLY) in the works which of course I am pumped about. Also, the heat & humidity in the DC area is getting pretty darn unbearable that at this rate I am ready to welcome the crisp fall air with open arms.

Why dreading? Well, for the first time in four years at the end of this month I will not be heading back up to school. It weirds me out, makes me wonder about my future, makes me feel old and scares me along with 1,000 other feelings all at once. But for now I will take it all one day at a time, starting with Monday, the 1st.
