Well, here I am. In the library. I should be writing, but I'll get to that in a few minutes, I guess.
In truth, I have nothing to do, which will be foreshadowing the rest of the week. Especially Friday. If everyone turns in their government materials (aka textbook and Lanahan reader thing) tomorrow, then Friday we will not have class, which means I will be able to go home at noon. Which is fine, but also kind of boring, because there'll be so little to do. Yeah, I could hang out with friends (those that don't have class) or write (which I should do), but still. I write a lot and spend all my free time in the library, regardless of whether or not my friends are in here.
This is my world.
I realized something. I need to do the annual Why I Am Excited For Summer List, because I need something to do and Friday essentially symbolizes my being done with school (because then is three weeks of senior projects, and after that is the senior trip, and then after that is graduation, so I am not going to be doing much schoolwork after Friday... except for a calculus final... and an EarthSpace SOL, both of which happen during Senior Projects... grr).
Anyhow, here it is.
Why I Am Excited For Summer
1. Philmont
2. ASP
3. last summer before college
4. chance to have adventures
5. possibility for getting a job
6. DnD with some friends (SO SUE ME IF I'M A DORK)
wow. Surprisingly short this year.
Honestly, I don't know whether I'm excited or not for summer this year. Well, I'm excited for summer in the sense that it's summer, and so there's a lot of fun to be had and stuff. But really, with my degree of social life, it's not going to happen that much. Except for DnD.
So, another list: reasons why I'm NOT excited for summer.
1. Last Summer at home
2. Many of my friends are going to be off for six weeks at music camp, so I won't see them much
3. At the end of the summer, I'll be leaving
4. Honestly, what I'll wind up doing is running every morning and then knitting in front of the TV all day
yeah. Shorter (by two) but more accurate. This is depressing.
You know, I made a pact to myself a while ago that I'd have at least one adventure a day during the summer, and read a lot as well. I'm going to try to implement that, but I'm going to have trouble with the 'fun' part, with everyone being out of town and stuff, but I'll try.
You know, I'm kind of disappointed in myself in that regard. This is supposed to be the Time of My Life, but I'm just blogging in the library and writing every afternoon. Writing FANTASY. I know my characters better than I know actual people. I'll have no stories to tell my kids except the ones I've written. I admit, I kind of feel like a bit of a failure right now. What with senior projects, I'm going to be at home even MORE.
Sigh.
This summer is going to suck.
