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.
