Oh who am I kidding. You'll love it.
Another thing I've been bad at lately is snapping pictures of what I've been up to, like this past weekend's celebrations in Kennedy and Lancaster. Goll dangit! I look at my pictures from last summer and I had my camera with me EVERYWHERE. This is something I'll have to start working on. Haylie snapped this one of us at the under the lights softball game in Kennedy on Friday night:

Speaking of things I need to start working on: reading more. I don't know if I've ever shared this before, but...I love to read. Like, when I was a kid, as a punishment when I'd back talk or lip off or do something that my parent's didn't like, they'd take my books away. I remember when I was about 12, my usual bed time routine was to go up to my room, put a movie on on the TV, and lay in bed and read my book. Don't ask; I can focus on a good book no matter how much background noise there is. Anyways, my dad would come upstairs and get mad because I wasn't asleep, and he'd turn the TV off, take my book away, and flip the lights off.
Years later, my mom told me that she always rolled her eyes at that because as soon as he was done taking away my book, TV, and lights, he'd go down to their room and do the exact same thing.
Yeah, the apple doesn't fall far from the tree.
Currently, I'm reading this:
I'm big into reading the book before I see the movie. Because guess what? The book is ALWAYS better than the movie. Aaaaaalways. And if I break my own rule and watch the movie before I read the book, I'm disappointed 98% of the time. And this is one of those movies that I'd like to see soon. I'm on page 15 and it's going pretty good so far, although I'll admit that for some reason it took me a few "letters" to decide whether Charlie is a boy or a girl. I'm still not 100% sure to be honest, but I think boy. Haha.
Like I said, I need to read more. I should have been reading more this whole time that I've been on a break from college, because pretty soon, I'll only have time to read text books. A few (emphasis on the word "few" here) other books I have on my to-read list include: The Paris Wife, Clara and Mr. Tiffany, The Outsiders (don't ask me how I never read this in high school), The Story of Edgar Sawtelle, and Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee: An Indian History of the American West (this was one of those where I watched the movie before I read the book, and my dad told me it doesn't even compare). I love having the goodreads app on my phone so I can easily access which book I need to read next.
I'm not the biggest TV watcher; I religiously watched General Hospital for about a decade (I'm not kidding, I started watching the show when I was 11. Hey, when you grow up with a router and rabbit ears, it's either that or King of the Hill) but I stopped after they pulled all the crap with Robin being dead/alive. Stupid. Anyways, I love Longmire (I'm sooo behind though, I need to catch up!) and Parenthood, but that's about it. Thanks to Netflix, I got really into The Office for awhile, and I have recently discovered the awesomeness of Revenge. Seriously, LOVE IT. Wouldn't it be just glamorous to spend a summer in the Hamptons?! Oh to have that much money to wear elegant prom dresses and sip champagne and attend fabulous parties on a daily (evening-ly?) basis.
Other than all that jazz, the only other thing I've had on my mind lately is COLLEGE. I can't flipping wait. I'm so excited, mostly because my best friend Haley will be there, too. I make lists of all the things I need to bring with. I've also checked ratemyprofessor.com to see if I can get the low down on any of my professors...none of them are on there. Also, fun fact: of my 6 classes, I have 4 teachers, and I only go to 2 classrooms. This is kind of nice, I think.
So, there you go. The Most Random Post Ever (Brought to You by Kalli Peterson). Now, I'm just looking forward to 4th of July celebrations...eeee!
Love,
Kalli
