4th of July!!

Well, happy birthday to America!  I believe it is the 235th year since 1776?

I enjoyed the random fireworks that lit up the night sky.  Since I'm in a college town, each individual student probably doesn't have many Independence Day-themed decorations, but everywhere else in the town was spectacular.

I was lucky I only had work for 2 hours this morning.  I had almost nothing to worry about.  The only thing that bugged me was the fact I had to wake up early, but that's okay.  Come to think of it, I did watch a good movie: 7 Pounds.  It was a touching film.  Will Smith is definitely one of my favorite actors.

My roommates and I totally spaced about decorating our doors for today.  But... we did have an awesome ward barbeque!  I had a lot of fun.  I like talking to people and play silly games.  I like to talk to people because I like to get to know them.  While many may find it weird that I jump from group to group, I just want to know the people in my ward better.  I do wish I could have had more meaningful conversations with everyone.  Sometimes, I feel I don't quite make the person I'm talking to appreciate being talked to by me.  I probably should have went for a dip in the pool, but the desire just wasn't strong enough.

The evening was a bit more uneventful since we kept on changing plans, which made life kinda difficult for everyone.  In the end, the folks decided on playing Risk at our apartment.  And here I am, writing about my day because I have nothing else to do.

I have big dreams and some may say they are next to impossible.  I suppose I just have to stand strong when they don't happen.  I aim high in order to achieve more because none of us ever reach our goals 100% in this life.  Am I being delusional?  At least, I'm being told I'm not.  Risky?  Definitely.  I hope I am strong enough to stand up to what I want to accomplish.
