Summer Summer Summertime.



Let's hear it for another season of change. I once was the third party to a conversation between two middle aged art teachers who were reflecting on their lives and trying to decide what decade they would choose to relive. They said that they would never relive their twenties...because the time is spent with so much uncertainty. I am in the middle of my twenties, and would definitely agree. I feel like at 25 a few things should be a little more certain, but for me, NOTHING is certain. Not even who my friends are. I'm just trying to get by with not knowing where I will live or who I can rely on to be my friend. I'm sorry to the faithful friends I have had for years, props to you...but honestly barely any of you live within thirty minutes from me...so all you get is a golf clap.
Shifting gears, I am glad to be finished with the spring semester, only to be frustrated that I have to take a summer school class. It's probably a blessing though...because sometimes I feel like I get bored in the summertime. Summertime is definitely not boring. But I seem to get bored. I think it is safe to say, that last summer was the first not boring summer I have had in a really long time. I had something to do almost every night, and I went to the beach every week. Life was good. Ironically it was also the worst summer of my life. I spent my time looking for a teaching job since I got fired in the spring and I developed a panic disorder because of it. Sweet.
Also this summer I will be working everyday, and I will be taking care of my grandpa a few days a week. I will be busy with things that aren't exactly fun, but I'm sure that I will throw a few fun things in there. I want to make a trip to Chicago and beyond. But that'll be towards August I think. I have some friends who are living in Washington, but I honestly don't think I will be travelling there. It's so far. I would love to go there, but...money doesn't grow on trees, and I would hate to be so far if something happened to my grandpa.
I'm going to try to go to church all summer. It has been helping me alot lately. I also like spending that time with my family.:)

Here's a list of things I want to do this summer. I hope that I can find people to do these things with me.

1. Disc Golf

3. Canoeing/Kayaking
