500 Days of Summer

Yes, I am fully aware this is a movie title.

It's interesting though, because this title encompasses everything I want to convey. I am, in fact, going to watch this movie in a few hours. I've always wanted to. Well, ever since I heard of its brilliance and saw the trailer:


And in other respects, I just wish this summer could last around 500 days. 

200 days here, with the people that I love, jumping off the seawall and watching movies and having bonfires and feeling loved and safe.

100 days with my cousins in California, my 14 best friends, not including aunts and uncles, that have always been the best place in the world to me.

50 days with the North Carolina family, not because I love them any less, but because there's only 3 of them, and after a while it starts to become one big babysitting job. But I never tire of the swing at my grandma's house, or driving the golf cart around the mountain on which my grandpa resides. Those moments are where I'd like to stay. 

10 days at Bush Gardens, because I haven't been to an amusement park in America since I was a kid.

140 days in Virginia, unpacking, exploring, and hopefully adjusting. Choosing junior year classes, getting a job at the coffee shop down the road, maybe even meeting people. 

That would be a summer worth spending. As it is, this one is looking way too short.

But I am excited to see the movie. :)
