it's hard to articulate how i feel about being here. i love it with every single particle of my being, no matter how miserable i may sometimes seem (be?). i love that when i drive over the hill i can see the ocean and that all of the bunnies are growing up into independent little creatures. i love that two of my best buddies are never much more than a holler away. i love being able to turn on the light in the shower on my first try. i love being in school. i love the protection that being in school offers. my only concerns are due dates and how to make my allowance last the rest of the month. let's not kid ourselves, i am spoiled. but i liiiike it. i want more of it.
aha! who am i kidding? i am going to move back in with my parents and my mom will cook me dinner and fold my laundry when i forget it in the dryer. my dad will slip us $20 to buy frozen yogurts or movie tickets without us even asking. i will jump on my sisters beds in the morning and sneak attack my puppies with all of the kisses i have. there are those things too. this afternoon i told my mom that i hope to get into kelowna fairly early on tuesday so that i can get some suntanning in.
really, who cares? kelowna will be great because i want it to be great. but it's important that i remember and appreciate being here. i have learned a lot, experienced a lot (!!!), played a lot, stressed out a lot, and been continually amazed at how my life is going.
it is going very, very well.
i will miss you. i hope you all have spectacular summers of love. suntans and slurpees and hands to hold. yes please.

Love it.
keep in touch, superstar.
and if you get bored, come sample the wonders of the south-eastern ontario region.
and don't take bio till i get back.
Wow, that made me surprisingly sad...I don't think you were going for sad...but it made me sad. But also really happy at the same time, because even though I was already aware of your current happiness level, that post just verified it.
Being happy really is just the best.
And you get to see your puppies! and that is crazily exciting for you! Because clearly the puppies are #1.
And I am pretty jealous that on tuesday morning you will be suntanning while I will be studying...still with 3 finals to go.
Dang UVIC...actually more like dang Gmac...but still kind of dang UVIC too.
It sounds like a pretty promising summer Taryn.
I hope it goes aboslutely amazingly.
Here's to the summer
"I see that summertime is here, when all my troubles dissapear; summertime. It's strange how the weather can make me feel so good, and each year I do things I never thought I could. The air is warm, the sky is blue, the slate is clean, and life is new."
It's funny, isn't it? I've been feeling bad all week because I have to leave one place where I belong and go to another place where I belong. It sounds like you're in the same dinghy. There is so much in the world, and only one you to experience as much of it as you can. Damn.
