Morning! At 10:00 pm yesterday, I knocked on my sister's door to get her to look at the clouded sky. I thought it looked gorgeous, like a painting. It was obvious that there was a storm coming our way. We decided to go out on the balcony to watch the storm transform. Both my sister and I quite enjoy the atmosphere thunder and lightning gives. And lately there's been a few of these days with thunder and lightning, so my sister read up on what the different colours of lightning means. So yesterday, as we were watching the lightning in the rain with out raincoats and wellies on along with a cup of hot chocolate in our hands-- we were discussing the colours of the lightning. It was admittedly not the easiest thing to stand there drinking hot chocolate. The rain kept dropping into my cup with such a fast speed, that the hot chocolate kept splashing my face. So eventually I gave up on that, and put my cup inside. We stood outside for 40 minutes, I think. And the last lightning I saw was so up close and so clear on the sky. It was an amazing (and terrifying) red struck of lightning. By then the clouds have moved, and my sister said we were in the midst of the storm, and the lightening was heading our way. I looked nervously at one of the tall trees by our house and tried to figure out how we'd survive if it was struck with lightning. When we decided to head inside, we boiled some tea to warm us up. All in all, it was a really nice thing to do. I can only think of Monchita who would enjoy such a thing, like last year when she told me to wake up early and go outside to see the sunrise. I've yet to do that this year, and maybe I'll do it next weekend, which I actually have off from work. I've not had an entire weekend off since I started my summer job, so that'll be lovely. I woke up at 8:00 am today, and I've just been a bit stressed out about all the things I want to do within today. It is strange when I'd rather read curriculum than the book I'm currently trying to finish. Well, maybe not currently-- I've been trying to finish it for months. I'm almost halfway through, and hopefully I'll manage to finish it today. I also have to start reading up about Dublin, because it's less than three weeks until I go. Which also means I've only got two weeks left of work. I have today off, and I think we're going to have a picnic in our garden, just because. My sister said she wanted to make peanut-butter and jelly sandwiches, which doesn't sound too appealing to me. But I'll probably eat them, I think. Oh well, it's a beautiful day, and I'm going to enjoy it. As the tragedy that was the flight crash yesterday showed, life is short. (Hope all the people affected by this tragedy will be okay). We must appreciate life, and I have decided that being in the twenties isn't too bad, because at least I get to experience all the highs and lows. When I get older, these feelings of being happy and sad will be more mediocre.
