Yes, I know, this is a very random post. But today, I realized, is a day that won't be around for another 1000 years. Wow, that sounds even lamer now than it did earlier! lol But anyways, today has been a boring day.
Monday at karate, we were practically drilled to death, but I did break my first board. When the sensei called on me, I was like, omg, i can do this, and I did! On my first try! I even got to keep the wood to prove it. So yesterday I didn't get up till like 10, i was so tired!
And today, my dad and brother went fishing, my mom had a class, and I was home alone. But since I'm taking 1st semester Bio online (I missed that class in public school when we were traveling, and took a different science class w/o realizing it) so i'm almost finished with that. 1 semester done in a month! That's pretty good, I think.
But I have karate again tonight in an hour, from 6-8. So, now I have to go eat dinner and get ready for karate.

Happy 4th of July!

I hope everyone had a great 4th yesterday! Mine actually turned out pretty awesome. A week ago, I had no plans and just expected to hang out at home. But, learning to be spontaneous in my travels, I had plans by Saturday Morning. Alexander and I were in the Freedom Fest parade for karate, so we got to ride in the float, which was pretty cool :) Then I went to do some shopping with my mom, which is always fun. We spent some time at the bookstore, and I ended up getting another shelf full. As my dad says, my mom and I are dangerous around good books! lol Then we went to the beach for a little while. When we came back home, we went back to Freedom Fest to walk around, listen to some of the music there, and get some funnel cakes. A couple of sprinkles didn't stop us! Then we drove over to where we take karate, which is a couple of blocks down from where Freedom Fest was at the civic center to watch the fireworks. It was a lot of fun! I posted a video of some fireworks and the fireworks finale. But if you want to hear the fireworks, which were pretty loud, be sure to pause the playlist down at the bottom of my blog.


Here's to Freedom Fest! We left after we got our funnel cakes, because it started to sprinkle. Look at those clouds! lol But it was fun. I took the picture as we were walking back to the car.

Here's the movie of the fireworks I took! It's not the best quality, because I took it with my normal digital camera, but it's still cool to watch!

I Love The Beach!

I seriously love the beach. Especially today. The water was so calm, and it was only about 90 out, with a hint of a breeze. Perfect day for the beach. So I went, spending about 4 hours swimming around, and just laying out reading and tanning. It was so nice! I wish summer would never end. I can't believe it's already July! Well, I guess all good things have to come to an end eventually. But I don't want to think about that right now! lol :) Now, I am going to have a yummy salad and get ready for karate from 6-8. Can't wait!

I have to say, I'm loving every minute.

I have to say, I am loving summer 2009. After spending the last 2 weeks in St. Augustine, hanging out, doing some sightseeing, and meeting some new people, I've had tons of fun. Now back home, kickin' some butt at karate, and heading to the beach every day, my life is awesome. I am seriously glad i'm finished with my first year of high school, and sooo glad i get to hang out with my friends all summer long.

To kick off summer, I've remodled my blog, including changing the address. It is no longer
girl-on-the-run55.blogspot.com!!!! (If you try typing this in your web browser, it will lead you to a page saying that it does not exist) So, go to this instead:
http://rebecca-at-the-beach.blogspot.com!!!!
Then it will take you to my blog:)

Time to get back to summer!
