Whoa, summer has like flown by and I totally forgot about this diary.

Journal. I totally forgot about this journal.

So I was getting my school stuff together just now, cuz ya know- school starts soon. And as I was trying to find some old binders under my bed, I came across this. This whole summer I didn't write and now I feel bad. I can't write down all the crap that's happened because I don't even remember everything myself! It's crazy. I haven't written since like, June or something. May, even. So let me try to fill you in on some things…

First things first- Me and the Cedes have started dating under the table. This happened like, shortly after prom, but I didn't want to say anything in case anyone found this journal and told everyone. But now I don't really care. We're really happy, and I think she's super sweet and beautiful, and she can see passed all the labels and crap people bestowed on me. I think I really like her. (:

So other than that lovey-dovey crap, my life's been same-old, same-old. I've been working part time at the pizza joint, and helping the fam when I can. My dad thinks he might have found a job, so keep your fingers crossed! I would love to not be poor anymore, but who knows. Being poor has really increased my song writing talent…

Besides hanging with Mercedes, working, looking after the kiddos and all that, mostly I've just been doing all that summer stuff. Sitting on my butt all day, eating cheese puffs, watching some Star Trek. It's a good time. All in all, I am not looking forward to school in a few days.

But I guess I am looking forward to seeing all my friends. The kids in Glee, that is. I haven't really been singing too much, unless you count in the shower. Hope Schuester doesn't expect me to be all freshened up for sectionals in the fall… Speaking of glee, I totally forgot to fill you in on Nationals.

It was a real bust, to tell you the truth. Shue kinda dug us our own graves when he threw us in the competition without preparing us with what songs we were gonna sing or anything. It was like our performance was basically our funeral at the same time. Which could be looked at two different ways. It was either a gloomy performance or a pretty messed funeral. One with zombies.

And then Finn and Rachel kissed in the middle of the song. Totally made everything awkward… But if that's what they had to do…

In short, we didn't make it into the top 10. I think even 12th place was a miracle.

But oh, well. We have another year to win the big one. We've made it this far, right?

So the summer was the usual, but now I'd best be getting ready for the approaching school year. (I'm already a senior! This is crazy) I'll put this journal right where I can see it so I won't forget to write. Now off to look for those binders! ...Joy.
