Hey everyone! So much has happened since I last posted! My sweet 16 was such a blast! I want to go back! I've been babysitting, and I just got a new volunteer job. I work at stables near my house. I'm a pony walker, and now I'm starting lessons on Sunday! Yay! Also from the 12th to the 17th my mom and I were on vacation. We had so much fun, we didn't want to leave! I just got my school schedule yesterday - no problems like last year! But my town and, therefore, school system, is stupid. Two of my friends didn't get their schedules yesterday; instead they got a letter telling them that they can't get it because of an unpaid fine. They said for to go in for that and schedule problems on Monday and Tuesday, but we just got them yesterday! I think that my friends should have gotten the letter before school got out saying if they didn't pay it by a certain time they wouldn't get their schedule in August. But no. They got the letter when everyone else got their schedules. That's just another reason to be excited for college - no more stupid town and school system!I really do not want summer to end. It went by too fast, and now I'm going to be a junior. I know I just said I can't wait to get out of here, but I'm not ready to go to college. But I'll just enjoy this year and live in the present.
Anyway, here's another song!

Once upon a time when i was just a kid
You never let me do iust what the older kids did
But lose that laundry list of what you won't allow

Once upon a time i used to play with toys
But now i'd rather play around with teenage boys
So, if i get a hickey, please don't have a cow
GIRLS
'Cause mama, i'm a big girl now
PENNY
Ma, i gotta tell you that without a doubt
I get my best dancing lessons from you
You're the one who taught me how to "twist and shout"
Because you shout non-stop
And you're so twisted too!
Wo -oh -oh -oh -oh

But let me hit that stage, i wanna take my bow
GIRLS
'Cause mama, i'm a big girl now

But now that i'm a woman, i like bigger men
And i don't need a barbie doll to show me how
GIRLS
'Cause mama, i'm a big girl now
GIRLS
Ma, you always taught me
What was right from wrong
And now i iust wanna give it a try
Mama, i've been in the nest for far too long
So please give a push and mama watch me fly
AMBER

Someday i will meet a man
