Time goes by way too fast. It seems like it was just September and I was about to walk into my first year of the Internship program at Go International...time has flown by, and it's already June and the last week of Internship. I can't believe it! This year flew by...one thing I've learned is to not just let time fly and be anxious for the 'next big thing' to happen, but learn to enjoy & soak up where you're at. Learn all you can. And don't rush! Because you'll never have tomorrow back. Ok, so that was kind of greeting card-ish, but it's the truth.
Learn all you can. Enjoy your life right now whatever that may look like. :)

a little variety...
One thing that's awesome about Oklahoma...multiple skylines.
I took these driving yesterday (all at the same time). One side of the street you have blue sky, then clouds, then stormy. It's pretty cool you can see three different skies from one place.
Ahh only Oklahoma...

a helpful tip...
Everybody likes a helpful tip now and then... So it's common knowledge that gas prices are just outrageous, and I happen to come across some nifty information about getting gas so I thought I would share!
Helpful tip numero uno:
Only buy or fill up your vehicle in the early morning when the ground temperature is still cold. Remember that all service stations have their storage tanks buried below ground. The colder the ground the more dense the gasoline, when it gets warmer gasoline expands, so buying in the afternoon or in the evening....your gallon is not exactly a gallon.
When you're filling up do not squeeze the trigger of the nozzle to a fast mode. If you look you will see that the trigger has three (3) stages: low, middle, and high. In slow mode you should be pumping on low speed, thereby minimizing the vapors that are created while you are pumping. If you are pumping on the fast rate, some of the liquid that goes to your tank becomes vapor. Those vapors are being sucked up and back into the underground storage tank so you're getting less worth for your money.
One of the most important tips is to fill up when your gas tank is HALF FULL. The reason for this is, the more gas you have in your tank the less air occupying its empty space. Gasoline evaporates faster than you can imagine...
If there is a gasoline truck pumping into the storage tanks when you stop to buy gas, DO NOT fill up--most likely the gasoline is being stirred up as the gas is being delivered, and you might pick up some of the dirt that normally settles on the bottom.
