21 Days Later

I know. It sounds like a horror movie. Is it? I try not to remember cheap horror movies.
Now for the news that you've all been waiting for. Are you ready? Here it is.

I AM DONE

Hard to believe I know. At this moment, I don't even really believe it myself. But it's true. I sit before this computer with not one more final to take. With not one more assignment to turn in. With not one more class to attend. With not one more day of not being allowed to wear flip-flops. (You thought I was going to say nylons)

I AM DONE

Now what? What am I supposed to do now? I have 3 months in which no school is required of me, what should I do with it? I should probably tell you right now that I am not a goal person. I don't make new-years resolutions. I don't write out pro/con lists. And so, here I sit. Thinking of the coming summer, and not knowing what is in store for me. Not even having a plan for what I want to accomplish this summer. I know some of what I will do this summer. I'll give you a list with explanations.

1. Get Drivers License - high on my priority list. I love driving. I just need to work on my parking skills (pray every time I parallel park) and drive a little bit more before I go take the test.

2. Read - I'm sick and tired of not picking up a book because I know I have schoolwork that I should be doing instead. I plan on reading widely and often this summer.

3. Spend time with Bethany and Philip - Important thing to accomplish. I want to be able to hang out with them a lot more than I usually can. P and I do library, but B and I don't have a lot we do. Maybe running, or biking, food, or movies, these are all viable options.

4. Work - I should be able to get quite a few hours this summer. And I mean quite a few. I'm not technically full-time (which means I can take days off), but I'm not just part-time either. I ususally end up doing about 40-50 hour weeks. But I'm not set on that number, which is nice. I'm also supposed to be learning 2 different aspects of my job. Which means I'll get even more hours - yay for money.

5. Help with Craftsmen Colloquium - no explanation needed

6. Blog - I'm going to try to blog at least once every week. I really, really want to write. I have tons of mental posts saved in my mind, all I should have to do is pull them out one by one and write them down. Some of them are good.

7. Spend time with Melanie - also no explanation needed

8. Read - I've given up on explanations

9. Watch movies - many, many movies

10. Sleep

I don't like lists. I don't like the fact that I just made one. I don't want to go through the summer mentally checking things off in my mind. I don't want to think of this summer as just another semester with tons of things to do. I want to enjoy this summer.

Finishing thoughts that are too disjointed to actually make sense.

- I plan on composing a post (at some point in time), using my earlier list of "things every freshman is required by law to do" and sharing my freshman experiences.

- It's 126 days until the NFL Kickoff (have you been paying attention to the draft? I have)

- I did well in school, just thought you would like to know. My final grades haven't all come back, but I passed all of my classes and I'm pretty sure I made Deans list.

- I love that I'm posting this, while knowing that I have no school to do, no homework to worry about, no tests to take and no papers left to write.

Heres to summer and flip-flops.
