Summer Fears

Well finals week and moving back home have proved the perfect combination to force me to break my “post everyday vow” but I’ll try and update as often as possible. I ended the year really strong—STRAIGHT A’S!!!!—and nine hours of sleep the last week. Last Friday as it happens was my birthday. My wonderful friends spearheaded a trip into Philly which included a lot of wandering around, bookstores, and a restaurant named Sassafras (all I have to say about that is ostrich is a dry meat) a perfect me themed day. And to top it all off they bought me the fifth Game of Thrones novel A Dance With Dragons which I’ve hardly put down. But the goodbyes are done and I’ve started summer. Hopefully it’ll be a good one.
Every summer before last I had worked at a summer camp, getting up at eight and coming home around five was tiring work but it was work all the same and gave me something to do. Last summer I tried the whole “find a job thing” which is not as easy as it sounds. That summer devolved into about a meeting or two with friends per week, way too much family time, a disheveled room, and multiple failed driving tests. Never take the test in a mini-van you will fail no matter how experienced you are. It’s a repeat of last summer that I fear the most. Having so much idle time that my life simply seems a waste (don’t do to well with nothing to do) so hopefully this summer I’ll actually get my license, a job, and hopefully even an internship. At least I know I’ll be taking summer chemistry to get the requirements out of the way so there’s something to do. School was stressful no doubt—but that’s what I love. Stress and deadlines always working towards a goal. Summer is just the opposite there are no goals. For some this may be nice and relaxing but I need structure.
