I actually wrote this in the 13th but never got back to it. Suppose I should get it out there, eh?
As the seasons go, the weather becomes more mild, so does it seem that life does too. Summer is approaching, here for some and still far for me. Summer has always meant relaxation, endless free time, hanging out in the park, fresh veggies and fish, earning a little money here and there, catching up on books I've meant to read, and relaxing in the sun - because no one has AC in Washington so it's worthless to be inside anyway. And yet, I look forward to it as bittersweet. Over the last year or so I've found that I no longer enjoy those great amounts of free time, and enjoy life much more if I'm being kept at least fairly busy. In the time I do have I've fallen into the habit of finding something constructive to do, or to "better" myself somehow. I've started doing nearly daily workouts at home for much longer periods than I used to without equipment... I enjoy pushing myself to where my senses used to scream at me to stop, but then find I have a point of endurance just after that where it becomes much easier. I'd like to start running, and I kinda wish we still lived next to the bike trail, although I like this house better. I'm also finding more time for bible reading at random times in the day, although still not as much as I'd like.
Several of my friends are now back from "away" college now, although we still have about a month to go. It feels like we've waited so long that it kinda feels weird now to be so close to being done and move into the working world. Everyone's deciding what they want to do and I feel a little left behind in this, because I can't decide what I want to do. It kills - people ask what I plan on majoring in, what I plan to do as a career, and when I tell them I haven't decided yet I swear I see in their faces some disappointment as though I lack motivation or some other character. As of now though I plan on taking a class over the summer and work through next year before going back to a four year college somewhere, depending on what I decide I want to do (I'm already a year ahead in college anyway). This course of action seems to appease most people now, and to me it seems the best choice of path for now. Although, as I said about not liking to sit still anymore, I feel myself becoming ready to move on into the working world. That would mean no more summer mentality unfortunately, but I'm curious to see what that's like.
And hey, a lady would be nice. Any nice ladies out there? Figured I'd ask.
Today's song is:
